I get 4G on my 1520. Is that LTE?

[Exoma]

So, I bought an RM-937 1520. I live in Canada so Fido (my provider) allows me 2600 Mhz LTE on my phone. I'm just wondering if 4G means LTE on this phone?

The phone's signal goes in this order from what Ive noticed.

E (Edge?)
3G
H+ (HSPA+?)
4G (LTE?)

Am I getting LTE?

doubt it. I believe 4G means just that and LTE means LTE.
unlike the US where at&t can call their HSDPA 4G when it's really just 3.5-3.7G

Mine says LTE when I am on LTE

You have an RM-937?

the international version doesn't show the icon LTE on the status bar. for us users of RM-937 the 4G icon is the equivalent of the LTE icon

Interesting. Does the RM-938 do the same thing?

My 938 shows lte

Don't have an rm-938 to test. Sorry. Perhaps the owners could chime in

Yeah, that's what I thought...

Makes sense considering there is also a H+ logo for HSPA +

4G is the same thing as LTE... It's usually called 4G in Europe.

4G is a term that is most confusing. It largely depends which country you are in and which carrier you are using.

Install my app: Battery Stats | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States) and it will tell you exactly what network you are currently on.

I live in Chicagoland should have LTE, but all I see is 4G.... I never saw LTE...

 

[foxbat121]

If you are on AT&T and using an AT&T branded phone, you should see 4G when you are on HSPA+. And LTE (or 4G LTE on some phones) when you are on LTE. Please note that currently there is no voice over LTE yet. So, anytime you are on a call, your network will drop back to HSPA+.

Now the question is, Is it AT&T or my phone? That I must figure out. I could call AT&T, and see what they say...

Did your old phones before 1520 ever get LTE service? The reason I'm asking is that your data plan on your account must be marked as LTE in order to get LTE service from AT&T. You only need do that once. If you have never gotten any LTE phones before, you need ask AT&T to make sure your data plan is properly provisioned for LTE.

By the looks of it, I think OP is getting LTE.

I have an AT&T Lumia 920 which has LTE capabilities. However, it has a French ROM onboard.

It goes like this
E or 2G (I can't remember)
H
H+
4G (which Insider confirmed as LTE)

In the US, H+ is technically 3/3.5G and was marketed as 4G in the US. Hence the iPhone 4S's amusing "upgrade" to 4G in one iOS update.

But I confirmed my 920 was getting LTE when it said 4G. I'm assuming the LTE specific indicator is something US specific.

I did a chat with AT&T, I had used a dumbphone with my account for a couple months to save for a new phone. I cut it down to fit. They said my Sim isn't provisioned for LTE and they are going to send me a new one Priority Mail.

UPDATE: I got the card today, now my phone says LTE... Doesn't really seem faster, but it at least says LTE.. LoL

My RM-938 says LTE. I'm on T-Mobile in the US.
