📌 How to check and enable 4G/5G on your device

🍎For Apple iOS Devices

  • SELECT Voice & Data

📶 What if I only see LTE instead of 4G/5G?

If your device is showing LTE instead of 4G or 5G, don’t worry—it’s essentially the same as 4G in most cases! LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is just a technical term for advanced 4G networks.


⚠️ Troubleshooting: What If 5G/4G Isn’t working?

Check if your plan supports 5G: Some data plans may only allow 4G.

Airplane Mode ON and OFF: This forces the device to reconnect to the best available network.

Restart your phone: This refreshes your network connection.

Update your device software: Some carriers require the latest software for 5G support (Device and carrier update)


🛠️ Switch to 4G for a quick fix!

If you’re experiencing connectivity issues, don’t worry! In some areas, 5G coverage may be weak, causing your device to have trouble staying connected.

📌 Why does this work?

Just like MacGyver using a paperclip to defuse a bomb, sometimes a simple switch to 4G is all you need to get a stable and reliable connection. While 5G is the future, some regions don’t have strong coverage yet, so 4G remains the most stable option in many places!
