Dkoellerwx Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Columbus, Ohio does not have 4G LTE. Everything is working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that proves it right there, android is better than iphone 5. Seriously though, you probably came from an android 4g wimax device which is not compatible with iphone 5's 4g lte capability. As stated already, there isn't any 4g lte in your area yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbasprint Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I do need the education I thought pretty much there all the same just fancy names! So why is it that's sprints website shows my area as a WiMAX /4G I think and iam guessing the iPhone 5 is LTE only??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dkoellerwx Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 4G WiMax and 4G LTE are two completely different things. Your Android was a WiMax phone, your iPhone is an LTE phone. Hence your WiMax phone does not work on LTE, and vice versa. Capishe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deval Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I wonder how many other people this has happened to? Can't be a happy day for them. Depends on if they read before they purchased. Also depends on where they purchased from. All the Sprint reps are trained to differentiate between 4G and 4G LTE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can hold out 6 months or so, perhaps sooner, you should start to see 4G LTE start to light up in your area, and then your phone will suddenly become even sweeter.

SJperformance Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The iPhone 5 is a great phone. Here in Miami I've already experienced it with sprint LTE and let me tell you it's great. The super snappy A6 chip along with the LTE make for a great combination. Stay tuned..... ...on iPhone5/iOS6 via Tapatalk... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkoellerwx Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 The only downside is you can't map that wonderful 4G LTE coverage with Sensorly..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
