T-Mobile Will Use LTE for 4G in 2013 for Data, 3G for Voice

Mobile service providers always face some practical issues when introducing a new generation of technology, including the need to migrate customers from the old network to the new network, and how to handle applications where the new networks are not yet available.

So T-Mobile USA will use its Long Term Evolution network for data applications while keeping voice on the 3G network. It isn't the most-elegant way to do things, but it is a practical necessity when customers and applications have to be supported on multiple networks during a transition.
