Why does my iPhone 5 say 3G? - 1

Bought the iPhone 5 about two weeks ago and somebody mentioned that my phone was running on 3G network… Isn't it supposed to be either 4G or LTE?

Yes it depends on the network your using and sometimes the connection look for a better network

No, it depends on what plan you have it to.

No, you can switch it to 4G or LTE.

You need to be in a "4G" (HSPA+) or LTE area to have 4G or LTE, if you live in a Major Canadian City then you probably should be getting LTE or at least 4G. Go to your carriers website and see what network they have in your area.

Depends on your carrier

That would be because your carrier only has 3G coverage in that area you were using your iPhone. When you are in an area that has 4G or LTE coverage, your phone will use it.

Carriers do NOT have service everywhere and they don't have LTE coverage everywhere they do have coverage.

  • Why does Reporter Smurf say my iPhone time is wrong? I just got the smurfs update and now Reporter Smurf is in my village.

  • Why does my iPhone say up to date when iOS 6 is out today? I checked for system updates and it says version 5.whatever is up to date. It's the 19th iOS 6 came out today. My iPhone is lying to me. In fact, developers were getting copies of ios 6 all summer. Out or not, if 6 exsists somewhere, even in a workstation in Cupertino than iOS 5 is not up to date. It should read, "Version 5 is obsolete but nah nah can't have 6 yet!"
  • Why does my iPhone say it doesn't have memory when I haven't used all of it? I've had an iPhone 4s for about 5 months now and for some reason it says I don't have any memory left. It's got 16gb. I've used about 5gigs of music and mabey 2 in games but it says I only have 100 megabytes left. I went to system, usage and added up all the things i have downloaded and it comes up to around 10 gigabytes. Why does it say I don't have memory left?
