How to activate 4G (LTE)

If you have a 4G SIM, 4G contract,
and your phone supports your
carrier's 4G bands but you still can't
get a 4G/LTE connection, you made
need to enable LTE mode on your
modem. Here's how to do it.


- Check your current settings. This
is important to retain 3G data when
moving out of 4G range. You can find
this under Settings > Tethering &
Networks > Mobile Network >
Network Mode

If you don't see LTE listed there, then
proceed to step 2. If it's there, select
it. Failing that then you have a
different problem

2 - go to your dialer and paste
*#*#4636#*#*
Alternatively, you can use the 4G LTE
Switch app to skip to step 4.

3 - a menu will open automatically.
Click on Phone Info and scroll down
to where it says Pick Prefered
Network Type.

4 - Press the drop down box and
select the option that adds LTE along
with your old options.

E.g. for me before it said GSM/
WCDMA, so now I pick LTE/GSM/
WCDMA to turn on 4G

5 - your network will reconnect and
you should now see a 4G icon appear
in the top bar.

Note - Rebooting your phone or
navigating back to Settings >
Tethering & Networks > Mobile
Network will reset your connection to
default, meaning that you will lose 4G
and have to start again!
