This thread and the 3g ditching debate is reminding me of the family guy episode with the chicken fight...

They still sell the 5S, which...... does have LTE, I didn't read their spec page properly. Never mind then
I thought the 6 was the first, but hadn't been following Apple phones during the 5 era. |

I'm glad it wasn't me going mad, I even checked Apple to double check if they were still selling the 4s.

I highly doubt that they'd still be selling the 4S, now that the 5/5C, 5S, 6 and now 6S have been released.

Looks like it might be easier for networks to install masts in rural areas:

4S was a great little phone. I loved mine. Wonder why I got rid of it. Oh yeah, 3/EE can't do voice and VO2 can't do data. That phone was a gem in it's time. One day, one of the networks will offer a voice service as good as VO2 and also a data network as good as EE. One day. Currently, they all fail.

http://www.mobilenewscwp.co.uk/2016/...ndset-locking/ I wonder if EE/Three will finally be able to install a new mast at both Denny Abbey (Cambs) and Eye (Peterborough)? As both of those locations urgently need EE/Three masts |

There's a new EE/3 mast being installed near me, how long do they usually take before they go live?

Doesn't matter if your phone supports it if your masts don't anyway...
iPhone 6 and no VoLTE here. |

Is T-Mobile in the US the same company as EE?
If yes why do they seem to have more advanced tech over there? e.g icloud based Wifi calling. |

If yes why do they seem to have more advanced tech over there? e.g icloud based Wifi calling. T-Mobile USA is owned by T-Mobile International, who's parent company is Deutsche Telekom. Deutsche Telekom did own 50% of EE until BT bought it. However, the technologies used by phone companies normally reflects the speed of advancements in that country rather than how advanced that company is in other markets. |

![]() Good things come to those who wait as Synthetic says. You just might have to wait another year, that's all. It's going to be so awesome, everyone else is going to melt...... Take EE's 2G and now imagine that as 4G1800 but a little better on coverage. Now add in some 4G800 on a quarter of masts (Devon will get more than it's fair share due to the geography). Hey presto! Mental network!!! |
