Verizon Galaxy S3 supports HSPA+!!

I believe that's incorrect- a very limited number of Verizon's phones support simultaneous voice and data, and if I am not mistaken, the Galaxy S3 is one of them.
And the S3 III. It is SVDO capable if your towers support it.
TAPPED in on my locked bootloader Verizon S3
Thunderbolt, Rezound, and SGSIII are the only three phones verizon has that support talk and data on 3G simultaneously.
I was able to get it to work on AT&T AND T-Mobile, with the help of OP here, by manually editIng the APN's after rooting. It's not just voice, I was able to get data on both gsm networks as well, but data is only EDGE (2G) for now. On T-Mobile this phone will never get faster than 2G, because their faster speeds are on 1700MHz and this phone can't get that. On AT&T it hasn't been achieved because there has been no 3G or HSPA+ sim card available to test on yet. It's good to hear the phone can connect to HSPA+ networks though.
The thread that describes everything is here:

Is there a way to simply add APN profile on non-rooted vzw S3? I simply loaded it with AT&T SIM and I'm getting voice and text, but without proper APN settings, I'll never get data. I don't see an option to add APN settings on my stock device under APN settings

I test My Verizon Galaxy S 3 in China Unicom‘S network,
download speed 11Mbps
it's hspa+，
Please forgive the noob question, but is hspa+ data only, or does it include voice?
Also please confirm that this did *not* involve rooting or a new ROM, you just inserted a new SIM card.
Thank You!

It is more current. Post 106 has the most up to date info.
Root is required to edit the APN file the easy way..
You don't need to flash anything to do this.
