Next question - 1x service indicator

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Again this is new phone to me - LG VX3200. On the display I'm getting 1x
instead of expected D or A. I can't track down exactly what this is. The
user guide only gives me reference to "1X HSPD" under PC Connection.

Any guidance here? Phone seems to be working ok.

And therefore guaranteed to be "D", not "A", in case that's not obvious.

Anything other than "A" on the signal indicator is good.
"A" is not bad but will use your battery a *lot* faster.

The 1X is used for your voice too. It's higher speed than the original
digital which allows the wireless companies to put even more conversations
on a given tower.
