Thanks.
Verizons LTE network does use a Verizon specific SIM for 4G data and falls back to CDMA for 3G data.

So for Lendaddy that would be problematic because the phone that he wants to use would be subsidized and if it drops into 3G due to lack of 4G coverage he technically violates his contract and losses his unlimited plan.

As I understand it there are two ways to upgrade with Verizon, subsidized phone ='s new plan. Buy the phone outright at full retail ='s keep your current plan.

But I would call Verizon and verify that, then call back and verify with another rep just to be sure.
