So recently I posted that I needed a 4G phone and someone in my vicinity mailed me directly and we sealed the deal at 35k. He showed me with his s on it and I confirmed it was 4G. But the moment I put my Sim card it shows only 3G, I have tried all the setting I know nothing. I even put the phone imel online to check the specs and it says it support LTE.
My question now is there a way he tweaked the screen to decieve me that day when I bought it.
The phone name is Infinix smart 5 x657
And also I have confirmed and my sim is 4G

Kindly advise me


Someone told me to put the phone in demo mode and see if it shows 4G LTE I did it and it showed LTE but my if I out it in normal it is on 3G. Please I want to know if I have been cheated.

I have tried contacting this man all to no avail.
I will drop his Moniker if he refuse to reply me before friday

there is no sufficient 4g network in the area, you are using. try it in a different place

4g phones operates in bands.All the 4g networks in nigeria operate in different bands so your phone might not support the 4g band of your Sim.Try and check the 4g band your phone suports and the 4g band of your sim

Op the phone doesn’t have 4G, you should have researched more and tested all this before buying it. I think you were quick to pay cos you were on a budget and thought you were lucky to see a deal. You weren’t and 35k can get you 4G used phones comfortably. Try returning the phone if seller still replies you.

Smart 5 has a 4G enabled phone and 3G enabled phone

how did you guys deal? Start from there, mention his name , call him out. Post the account number you paid to and everything, the tracing starts from there.
