iPhone 4S w/ 5.1 on AT&T reporting 4G usage

I see what you mean now but regardless of how it's accomplished go phone prepaid does not get HSPA+/4G speed.

True... AT&T most likely puts SIM cards that are provisioned for Go Phones into a throttle pool.
There is no APN setting that can get around a throttled SIM card.
This still can't override the radio.
So you can still get a 4G (HSPA+) signal on a go phone SIM. It will just be throttled.

iOS 5.1 Showing 4G on iPhone 4S

Sooooo...

I updated my iPhone 4S last night to the latest iOS 5.1 and just noticed today that the 3G indicator is now showing 4G.

I didn't think the 4S supported 4G. Should I believe it?

I like seeing 4g on my phone, even if it's not.

When I got home and got on my microcell, it still said 4G. I'm pretty sure the microcell is not HSPA+, so I think that the 3G loga has simply been replaced by 4G, no matter if you have the + or not.

I think you are right, if you are on ATT that is. Next time I get up to upstate Maine where the coverage thing says no 4G I am interested in what I will see.
