Iphone 5s on O2 4G

Anonymous
Not applicable

hello everyone

 

well in a couple of hours apple will announce the new iphone 5s or whatever they choose to call it. i just have one question, we know that 02's 4G network does not support the Iphone 5, but will the 5s work on it?  or will the 5s spectrum be the same as the 5.

 

many thanks

So after lauching 5s without 4g but selling 4g packages and contracts ( very dodgy) after 2 years of suffering call drop outs and call fails every 1-2 minutes on my iphone 4 the 4g on my shiny new 5s finally gets activated today !! 

 

Fantastic news at last

just tried to make my first call on my new phone on 4g and guess what !! 

 

I based in London with a superb 4 star coverage rating !!!

 

CALL DROPS IN 20 SECONDS !

CALL FAILED 3 TIMES ON MAKING A CALL !

4G is not used for making calls......

Hi MATRIX5000

 

 

What is the Service Status saying for your postcode ?

 

If you feel the masts are not giving a correct reading then speak to o2 to challenge the reading.

 

If you feel the phone may be at fault then seek a diagnostic via the manufacturer.

4G is data only for the moment (on all UK networks), when you make/receive a  call it reverts to 3G/2G.

Indeed, voice over LTE is another future evolution.
