So basically I have a great phone on a horrible carrier... Simultaneous voice n data are reasons android phones are good. True multitasking. If only this issue was solve with just rooting...


Download Booster I really need that. But sprint took it off that's why I didn't know what it was.... That could be very useful...

Take the phone back if you aren't happy with it. SV&D almost made me think my iPhone 5S was broken when I tried to send an MMS while talking on the phone one day. I literally was on the phone talking about how I thought my phone had an issue, until I realized the phone couldn't do it. It's something people take for granted, but you are reminded just how bad it is not to have it when you actually need it. I had to hang up the phone to send the MMS!

Good Luck updating your OneNote, Sharing your Photos from Flickr, Uploading a Video to Cloud Storage or YouTube, etc. while you're on the phone; or talking on the phone while tethering your PC or Tablet to it and getting work done, etc.

Download Booster isn't something I'd take a phone back for, personally, but the lack of SV&D is, and it was certainly one of the reasons I ditched the iPhone 5S for the Note 3.

I'm not sure why Sprint basically ensured their customers stay in the dark ages, when it's clear that people were staying on or going to T-Mobile or AT&T because iPhones and other devices back in the day couldn't do this...

We know it's her carrier. Sprint Spark phones don't support SV&D, so the she has two choices:

1. Ditch the carrier.
2. Ditch the phone for one that supports SV&D.

If you need SV&D, Sprint is a bad carrier (and T-Mobile is just as cheap with better coverage and data speeds) and Sprint with a Spark LTE device is even worse.
