-- Posted by Destrier23 at 3:02 pm on June 29, 2009 if u get a regular data plan for ur but ur phone is 3g capable, will ur phone run at 3g speeds? -- Posted by My right hand at 3:03 pm on June 29, 2009 3g is just part of the plan. yes. as long as your phone supports 3g, it will have 3g (wherever available) -- Posted by technole at 3:04 pm on June 29, 2009 it should, I don't recall any U.S. carriers having a "2G" only plan anymore. Everything is just one data plan. -- Posted by Mr Speed at 3:05 pm on June 29, 2009 yeah it should -- Posted by Destrier23 at 3:05 pm on June 29, 2009 oh so its just one plan? great i really  appreciate ur help THNX -- Posted by Ancient Rights at 3:06 pm on June 29, 2009 If the company you are signed up with has a 3g network then it should run at 3g speed. -- Posted by Stormblazer at 4:33 pm on June 30, 2009 Quote: from Ancient at 4:06 pm on June 29, 2009 If the company you are signed up with has a 3g network then it should run at 3g speed. Assuming that the phone is also compatible with that network's 3G. For example, T-mobile's 3G network is incompatible with any non-branded phone. Also, I've noticed that I rarely get good 3G coverage indoors. Though honestly unless you tether your phone or access content-heavy sites (non-mobile versions of them), you won't notice much difference between the older EDGE/2G networks and 3G. And I know some networks like to charge extra for tethering and try to prevent you from tethering on a cheaper data plan, even if it is supposed to be unlimited.
