AT&T Beginning To Transition To LTE-Capable SIM Cards

The transition to 4G is a slow one, but one that customers (and companies) are eagerly looking forward to. With 4G, customers will get improved data speeds, along with other improvements to the network. For AT&T, that means the introduction of an LTE (Long Term Evolution)-based network, which will include devices and smartphones alike. But, without a planned roll-out made publicly available, everyone is still waiting to hear when AT&T plans on rolling out 4G, and where. That's not stopping them from sending out internal memos about transitioning to LTE-capable SIM cards, though.

According to a leaked photo of an internal AT&T memo, Ma Bell is getting ready to transition to LTE. The company has begun its standard procedure for preparing its employees for the change, telling them how to spot the SKU, and the noticeable differences between the 3G and 4G SIM cards. Of course, Apple's iPhone 4 is left out of the notice, as that particular device utilizes a micro SIM card.

It also looks like there will be up to 8 different LTE-capable SIM cards used in the transition, but there's no word on what that will mean for customers, or the devices they go in. So, while we're still waiting for a roll-out schedule, we'll just have to be happy with what we have.
