I think we have to get Ben to test this.  The only Verizon subscription
I have is an LTE-capable SIM, and any non-LTE modules don't care about
SIM cards (and thus the module wouldn't register with the network for
me) and any LTE modules would probably just use 3GPP mode or somehow
emulate it.  I could try locking my device into EVDO-only mode and see,
but that's not a very good test since the firmware might just handle the
teleservice ID automatically since it's LTE capable...

If Ben has an Gobi2K or Gobi3K devices lying around, that would work
(like an original Chromebook CR-48 or something).
