Disable 3G Option removed in carrier update

[Anonymous]

Hi,

As i'm sure others have noticed, the option to disable 3G for iphone has recently been / being removed via a carrier update. This was obtainted for me through itunes.

I cannot stress how incredibly annoying this is. Everywhere i go i have dreadful reception for 3G which causes both my battery to die almost twice as quick and also means i have awful phone signal for voice conversations.

I've recently signed up to a new 24 month contract after getting the new Iphone 5S but would like to know if this can be re-enabled in anyway???

If not, does anyone know if i am within my rights to cancel my contract over this?

I have no landline at home so now not having the option to switch to 2G indoors makes my new iphone useless when i would like to actually use it to talk to someone!!

Thanks,

Phil

Aha, so it's purely down to the carrier file....

The 4s doesn't work on 4G so there would be no point in having the switch off 4G option.

Ive highlighted this thread to Toby to see if we can find out why o2 is pushing this out.

I don't see Apple doing this off their own back !

Carrier O2 15.2

I won't say "like Android" but there should be the option to have, 2G, 3G, 4G (if applicable) or "Auto"....
