Help 3G capable?

[514ford]

My Aria was stolen last week so I bought an Inspire. After activating it I could not connect to the internet(mobile network) I get a "connection failed due to incorrect APN setting" message. I called AT&T tech and they said my unlimited data plan is only 3G and the Inspire will not work with 3G only 4G. They want me to switch from my unlimited data plan ($20/month) to a 3GB plan($30/month) and then they say my mobile network should work. I am happy with 3G and don't want to spend another $10/month for less data even if it is faster. Can I make the Inspire work with 3G?

you were basically lied to so they could try to sell you the more expensive data package. the Inspire 4G works perfectly fine on the 3G network right out of the box with out needing to do anything to it. you wont get the slightly faster speed, but it will still work just fine.

I did some more searching and found the right APN settings. Now it works great. The Inspire looks like it is going to be an awsome phone. This is that I entered.(use at own risk)

You have to love AT&T's so called "Tech" people that can't help, but can sell you something.
