Ok I had a android with 4G and it worked fine , so now I own the iPhone 5 and no 4G or anything what's going on???

 

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.

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???

 

That's what I just stated.

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.

No worries. Sprint says they will have almost everyone covered by 2014...:D

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?

 

Thank you I understand now very well explained, still a sweet phone

You do indeed have a very nice phone. 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.

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.....
