Sounds like 4g is an expensive joke in the USA.

I was really surprised to hear how useless the data plans are now.

I feel like it similar to when the Iphone 4GS came out and peopel complained it wasn't 4G.

4G is useless if you can only use it for a short time before the data allotment is up.

Which is ironic, since faster connection is mostly meant for Video.

Because the iPhone4 was not 4GS. it was 4s, the 4 was the model of iPhone not the network connection it used.

This might not be as big of an issue here. the providers still give unlimited data plans and will probably compensate better.

I meant 4S. Just had a momentary lapse.


Jsut a question, people with 4G phones, do you also get unlimited 3G with your 4G plan? It would be nice to turn off 4G data on your phone and revert back to 3G when you need to.

I have a 4GB 4G allowance and pay 9,000won extra to get unlimited 3G.
