Nano Sim but no LTE option in Settings

Hey there
I've iphone 5 white Model A1429 GSM, it works perfectly in Dubai (Middle East) but in Settings>General>Cellular I don't get the option of LTE on/off.
This model should work on Network with LTE/4G as its 1800 Band 3, as Apple support Reports, and I didnot Cut the Sim, my Carrier offers Nano Sim.
So now whats the problem? I only get 3G on/off

unica alae, so I just returned from the Apple Store and asked the Genius why my phone only has the 3G option and no LTE/4G on/off option. He said it's simply due to the fact that my network provider doesn't provide LTE/4G services yet. My earlier comments made on this issue above were correct. So basically, it's the carrier settings that controls this. If your provider only supports up to 3G, then 3G on/off will appear. If they support 4G/LTE, then 4G/LTE on/off will appear Settings>General>Cellular.
I asked him what happens when I go overseas and use my iPhone 5, do my carrier settings automatically change? The genius said yes - when the iPhone detects a new nano-sim, it will change the phones carrier settings with your permission. IF the new network provider has 4G/LTE services, then that option will appear in Settings>General>Cellular instead of the 3G on/off option that I have. I hope this resolves your issue!

Using iPad mini with tmobile nano sim, but no data

I just bought an iPad mini AT&T 4g LTE to use with my tmobile nano sim. I put the SIM card in and the tmobile network is registered and I see 3G. I try to use the Internet but I get no data. It is currently on iPod 6.1.3 and the carrier is 14.0. Is there a way to upgrade the carrier to 14.1, will that help out. Also, is there proper apn settings I can use to use the data on my tmobile data plan? It doesn't make sense to get tmobile and 3G for the network and not being able to download data, not even edge speeds.

You will need to contact T-Mobile to get answers to your questions.

ıphone 5s no lte option

I have ıphone 5s but ı didnt connect to 4g lte. I m living Türkmenistan. sim card(tmcell) is supporting 4g lte. but no lte option in settings.ıt have 3g option

It has nothing to do with any differences between factory unlocked and carrier unlocked. There is no difference here and an unlocked phone is an unlocked and that is it whether you purchased it from Apple unlocked or the phone was unlocked by your carrier.
To get 4G, firstly your phone has to be compatible with the frequency used. Assuming that this is the case, you need to go to your carrier in Tanzania and get a 4G sim card for it to work. Once a 4G network is released and assuming that this carrier is an Apple approved carrier, the 4G network also needs to be approved by Apple themselves and once this is done, the carrier has to release what is known as a carrier update and after you have downloaded and installed this carrier update to your phone you should be able to receive 4G. Until then you won't be able to get 4G.
It can take a little time for Apple to approve new 4G services and then for the carrier to release that update. You also need to check that you are actually using an Apple approved carrier for the iPhone in Tanzania or you will never get 4G. You will just need to be patient and wait for it all to happen.

How can I get a pay as you go nano sim for my Ipad mini celluler

I was bought an Ipad Mini Cellular for Xmas but it did not come with a nano sim, I have contacted all servcie providers and no-one can provide me with a pay as you go nano sim, I can only get a contract nano sim, but I want a daily one like you can get for the Ipad and micro sim.
All providers advertise the daily packages on the Apple website but when you speak to them they are not available.
I feel like have been mis sold the Ipad mini as I cannot use it with cellular daily plan, unless I requested a nano sim at time of purchase (which was not done), so now apple say they cant help, has anyone had a similar issue ?

If it is wifi only then you cannot add a sim card. If you are still within the 14 day return period then return it and purchase one plus a wireless plan from a wireless provider. Otherwise, you need a mobile hotspot to use when there is no wifi available.

I had my iphone 3gs unlocked so i could use it in Oz, however although i can phone works ok, i cant get internet, but i the option of Cellular Data Network does not appear with the new sim? Can anyone help pls?

Hi Just wondered if anyone can help with the above question? I had O2 phone unlocked and bought a local sim card, but although the calls are fine i have no option for internet etc. I have done searches and got the info details from the sim provider to activate, but instructions say i go to : Settings; General; Network and then Celluar Data Network, but I dont get that option ? When i put back my O2 sim card, the option reappears?
Can anyone help me please? Off to Australia again soon and really could do with it working properly this time.
Thanks everyone
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie, was wondering what brand sim card you bought?
Was it from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Virgin or Mayasim?
I have a 4 S running iOS 5.01 is there an option in Settings - Network - Carrier? As this should be set to the supplier of the sim card. In my Settings - Network there is no option for Celluar Data Network.
What version of the iOS are you using?
Some prepaid sim cards may not have a lot of data, so I suggest searching the companies websites for the best deals before you come here. Telstra usually have good plans. If you take your phone to the shop you purchased the sim card from they will usually set it up for you.
Telstra runs on a different frequency to others and offers the best coverage in Australia.
Just for the record I am not an employee of any mobile company.

How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.

You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

My nano SIM works in my Nokia mobile phone but "No SIM" when in my iPad mini

I've been around the support loop a few times with varying levels of success, here is my story.
Basically I expect to only occasionally require mobile data services so would like to move my nano SIM from my Nokia mobile phone to the iPad mini as and when required. I have a 500Mb data allowance on my current contract with Vodafone UK which I never use but would like to access with my iPad mini.
The first time I tried it worked! I never tried to surf using it but it registered with Vodafone UK OK and had a good signal level. The second time “No SIM” or “SIM not installed” popup at bootup.
Now irrespective of contracts, tariffs, data plan etc I expect the iPad mini to recognise there as being a SIM present every time and never give “No SIM” except of course when there isn’t one physically in the thing.
Playing along to support and forum suggestions I’ve done a couple of device resets (software reinstalls) and various setting resets. But still “No SIM”.
I’ve also spoken with Vodafone UK and am investigating whether this is in fact some restriction where they’ve restricted the technology so SIM swapping is not allowed. My Nokia E51 is not locked as have had it years.
I just cannot get past the “No SIM” message though!

Do have the details as to why that is?
The single time it recognised the nano SIM and showed as being connected to Vodafone UK I tried to ring it to see what would happen, it just rang out until voicemail picked up but nothing happened on the iPad mini whatsoever.

I have just pre ordered the new iphone 5 it didn't give me an option to tell them what carrier im with? will it come with a nano sim?

I pre ordered an iphone 5 this morning, (first time i have ordered from apple) it didn't give me an option to select a carrier? is this normal? will it come with a nano sim if it didn't let me tell them what carrier im with? i dont want to get my new phone and not be able to use it
thank you.

They've created a new SIM for this phone--the micro-SIM. Different SIM tray and all. If you ordered from Apple.com selecting the carrier was step two of the process.
iPhone 5 confirmed to use nano-SIM, current SIMs not compatible.
The "Micro SIM" is too large to fit in the iPhone 5.

I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 5. I am trying to transfer all my content via icloud but having problems logging in - it keeps telling me the server is not responding. Nano sim hasn't yet been registered - does this affect things?

Hi t.romano91,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm not sure why you had to manually enter your contact information, but if you created and turned on your iCloud account, the information should be there.
The link below will give you a general overview of iCloud, and how to look at your contacts:
iCloud Help: Contacts overview
I've also included the User Guide for the iPhone below to help you get started ...
Please note that the Contacts App (looks like a brown address book) is located inside the Utilties folder on your home screen. Press and hold the Utilities folder and it will jiggle. Then drag the Contacts App out onto the home screen for easier access. (see page 20 of the guide below).
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Page 100 - 102 explains how the Contacts feature works.
Enjoy your new iPhone!
Have a great day!

HT4623 I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?

I am trying to update an iPhone 4 but I can't follow the instructions above because "software update" is not an option under settings/general. How can I update my phone?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Then you will need to update to iOS 5.1.1 as outlined above. A word of caution before updating: be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing with a supported program such as Outlook, to an online service such as Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup). Failure to do so risks losing your data.
Syncing an iPhone 4 requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
You will first need to meet these system requirements in order to sync (and update) your phone.
