Is The Iphone 5 Not An Lte Phone by Salimmuhammad(m): 10:02pm On Nov 19, 2016
I was really happy when Glo, Mtn, and Etisalat announced that they have 4g lte services and even made a list of supported devices. As i use all the ntwk i decided to use the Glo since the the price for their Data is very low compared to others, plus they have the 4G lte service in kaduna and Zaria where i was going. I went to their office to upgrade my sim to a 4G one and was told to insert the nxt day. Nxt day i inserted the sim, went to settings switched on the data, changed the connection from 3G TO LTE, only for me to see the 3g sign for hours then i went close to their office area thinking it will change but still.


so my question is. is it that iphone doesn't support 4g service or is their difference btw 4G and LTE

The GLO LTE band is one of the least used LTE bands in the world. So, it makes no sense for manufacturers to include it on their devices. Only some high-end and very few mid-range devices support that LTE band 28(700MHz) used by GLO

its kind of confusing, is it that their lte band is an outdated one? if yes thats too bad.
let me just try other networks and see if they are similar, if it turns out to be same then its got to be my phone fault.

Just buy a glo 4G mifi, it's cheaper than buying a brand new phone.
