No need for the 4g set up assistant and it always fails - I've no idea why it's still even there.
As long as you have a 4g phone with 4g turned on in settings and you are in a 4g area, it will work.
If you are not seeing it, you need to call CS to get it enabled on your account.

Hi @Anonymous

I presume you actually have 4G in your area? http://status.o2.co.uk/

Have a look at this helpful guide about network issues

If you have the phone set up OK then call CS on 202 (contract) 4445 (PAYG) and ask them to check it is enabled on your account.

Make sure the settings in the phone are correct.

I've used this site recently and it works.

They also have settings for other networks (if that is of use to anyone).

Please note, this is not customer services and we cannot access your account. Do not publish personal details (email, phone number, bank account).
