AT&T LTE 4G Data Plan (code etc.) that works with iPhone & non-iPhones?

Hi all,

So my employer just got me an iPhone 5 with an associated unlimited LTE data plan. While the iPhone 5 is nice and I do not mind iOS, the 4" screen is still too small for my liking (my eyesight sucks).

I had a space HTC One X in my closet so I put the nano-SIM into a plastic MicroSIM adapter and popped it into the One X thinking the data would just work. Unfortunately I get a "Connection failed due to incorrect APN setting" error and data does not work.

Apparently iPhones use a special Data Plan code on AT&T (they don't use the "PTA APN" or something like that) and non-iPhones use a different Data Plan Code.

I'm hoping to be able to switch back and forth between the iPhone 5 and another phone like the One X or Galaxy S3. Is there a Data Plan code on AT&T (LTE) that will work for both phones? I don't mind losing features like "Visual Voicemail" but I would prefer to keep the LTE 4G speeds. Thanks in advance.

Just ask to be on the LTE plan. The LTE plan will work with non LTE phones too because you're allowed to fall back to HSPA.

I'm not sure if it'll work fine on the iPhone, but I was put on LTE for a Windows Phone and I've swapped around with Android phones with no LTE capabilities with no issue.
