Why doesn't my iPhone 5 show 4G or E symbol?

I have Verizon. It only shows the circle, 3G, and LTE, but not 4G or E. Does anyone know why? If so, thanks!

The 3g/46/e sign will disappear when you are on Wi-Fi. But thats normal, if you don't have 4g that won't appear, the 3g always should

Probably because its 3G?
If its showing 3G then it's 3G

I see! A fellow Apple iPhone 5 user! The circle means you have a very slow connection (GPRS/1X speed). 3G and LTE are faster connections. Verizon and Sprint do not have E (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) but AT&T does. Also, the iPhone 5 does not support 4G (also known as WiMax), it only supports the newer, faster 4G LTE. So that's why you don't see 4G or E. The Verizon iPhone 5 only supports the circle connection, 3G connection, and LTE connection.

  • Why won't my iphone turn on but it has the apple symbol on? I was going to update my iphone and when i tried restoring it all it does it keep vibrating and has the apple symbol.
  • Why is there a circle where the 3g symbol should be on my Iphone 4s? I just activated an iphone 4s from virgin mobile and ever since I got it, it has had terrible 3g coverage, everything is slow and half the time won't even load and the 3g symbol shows up rarely for like a minute and I'm very frustrated with this because I paid full price for my iphone to have it not work at all in the way I want it to.also, I can text and call fine its the 3g network that is not working.
  • Why is it that when i put my photos of (edited) phots on my computer it doesn't show the editing? Okay so I have a Iphone 5c and I like to edited the different affects (Mono, Tonal, Noir, Fade, None Chrome, process, Transfer, Instant) on my photos when you take the picture, so anyway when my photos are edited and transferred onto the computer they go back to the original photo (none affects) that has no editing on it what so ever. So my question is, is there a way to keep the edited photos edited and still be a way to have them on my laptop? Please some help?!
  • Why doesn't some songs show up on my Iphone? I downloaded some songs from a website and I did everything to put it on iTunes. Now the thing is that it shows up on iTunes but it doesn't show up on my phone even when I try to sync it.
