Why does my verizon iPhone 5S not say 4G?
Okay so I got the iPhone 5S with verizon and when I'm not on LTE it says 3G. But I've noticed with my friends iPhone 5's that are on AT&T their phones say 4G when there's no LTE. Can I fix this
Huh?
just because verizon doesn't have LTE in the area doesn't mean AT&T doesn't have LTE in the same area. Different carriers
still confused by the question though. If your phone says 3G, then you have 3g because either you somehow turned LTE off (not sure if even possible on iPhone) or you don't have LTE coverage there. If your friends iPhones say they have LTE or 4g then they have it. Its all in the carrier and location man.
AT&T and T-Mobile, along with other carriers call their faster version of 3G 4G as a marketing ploy. HSUPA+ nears the speed of 4G, but still is a 3G technology. The 4G is a deception.AT&T originally fought against it since they were rolling out a true 4G network.
Verizon uses CDMA/EVDO, but makes no differentiation in incremental improvements to the customer.
On GSM based carriers, 4G is actually 3G, only LTE is 4G
- Why does my Verizon iphone 5 only say 3G at the top? My iphone 5 has verizon and i can connect to LTE but when i turn it off it still has the "3G" icon at the top and i thought the iphone 5 was 4g. How do i turn the 4G on? My friends phone said the actual words "4g"on her 4s, but with AT&T. Can i get my phone to actually say 4G?
- Why does my refurbished verizon iphone 4 say sprint next to carrier in my settings? Yeah and I spoke to Verizon over the phone and they said the phone is verizon or else they would not be able to see it on their end. And they said they activated the line. But the phone is not activated and the carrier says sprint under settings although Verizon says it is a verizon phone
- Why does my iphone say that there's not enough available storage? I deleted about 400 pictures and 20 videos and I have 10 photos right now but if i try to take any it says my storage is full? What can i do to fix this?
- Why does my iPhone say my charger is not supported with this accessory? If tried canned air changing my charger check for iOS updates but know change I'm starting to think my my charger is not compatible with the iPhone 3GS
