Sprint and Verizon won’t support simultaneous voice and data on iPhone 5

Unlike the the carrier’s lineup of LTE Android smartphones, we have been able to confirm with Verizon that the new iPhone 5 will not support simultaneous voice and data over the carrier’s LTE network.

A Verizon spokesperson told us:

“The iPhone 5 was designed to allow customers to place a voice call on the Verizon Wireless network, while simultaneously letting customers access the Internet over the WiFi.”

However, we have been able to confirm with AT&T that the feature will work on its GSM model of the iPhone 5. We were told:

“AT&T customers can talk and surf simultaneously on the new iPhone 5.”

We know Apple is shipping the same CDMA model iPhone 5 to both Sprint and Verizon, so it’s probable that Sprint’s iPhone 5 will not support simultaneous voice and data as well.
