LTE does not turn on on iPhone 5s Beeline.

Share the link with your friends Finally, domestic operators began to expand and improve the quality of LTE coverage at the periphery. The data transfer speed relative to the good old 3G in this case is of course phenomenal. It remains to enable support for this standard wireless communication

on your iPhone or iPad. Read about why this is needed, how to do it and on which iPhone models this is generally possible.

What does LTE (4G) provide? Advantages and disadvantages Of course, the main advantage of LTE (4G) is the data transfer speed. Web pages and other multimedia content will load much faster, and when using your smartphone in modem mode you will get more high level

comfort when working on a PC. But do not forget that the use of LTE (4G) networks leads to faster discharge of the device. Even iOS itself speaks about this when switching in the settings.

Which iPhones support LTE (4G) and what is the data speed?

• Not every iPhone has an LTE module on board. It first appeared on the iPhone 5. But another nuance is that each new generation of iPhone uses a more advanced LTE module that can provide greater bandwidth. The maximum data transfer rate depending on the device model is as follows:
• iPhone 5, 5c, 5s – up to 100 Mbps.
• iPhone SE, 6, 6 Plus – up to 150 Mbit/s.
• iPhone 6s, 6s Plus – up to 300 Mbps.
• iPhone 7, 7 Plus – up to 450 Mbps.
• iPhone 8, 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XR – up to 600 Mbit/s.

iPhone XS, XS Max – up to 1 Gbps

Of course, these figures can be significantly lower depending on the channel width provided by the operator, the distance and workload of the base stations.

How to enable LTE (4G) on iPhone and iPad

1 If the cellular data network is already configured, then enabling LTE (4G) is not difficult: . Open.

2 Settings → Cellular → Data options → Voice & data . Check the box next to LTE. In the pop-up message, click "».

What is LTE and 4G in iPhones

I will explain it in simple language for dummies. LTE and 4G are standards mobile communications, which allow you to use the Internet at higher speeds. Therefore, if your iPhone supports LTE (4G), then you will have fast Internet, i.e. Internet pages open quickly, videos look high quality without any lags. With configured LTE, it will be more comfortable to distribute the Internet to other devices using -.

Which iPhones support LTE (4G)

Not all Apple iPhone models support LTE (4G) networks. The first models support operation only in lower-speed 2G and 3G networks. In Apple's line of phones, the LTE communication module first appeared in the iPhone 5. Therefore, if you want an iPhone with fast internet take iPhone 5 or later models.

The LTE module is constantly being improved, therefore, the more recent it is, the higher the maximum information transfer speed in LTE networks. For example: maximum throughput of LTE modems:

• iPhone 5, 5C, 5S – 100 Mbps.
• iPhone 5SE, 6, 6 Plus – 150 Mbps.
• iPhone 6S, 6S Plus – 300 Mbps.
• iPhone 7, 7 Plus – 450 Mbps.

True, our operators cellular communications They are not so quick to update their equipment to meet the new LTE standards, but this is gradually happening.

How to enable and configure LTE (4G) on iPhone

If your iPhone model supports high-speed Internet (see the list above) and you have already configured the Internet (link to setup at the beginning of the article), then you just need to turn on the LTE mode and use it.

Enable LTE (4G) as follows: Settings – Cellular – Data settings

Voice and Data - LTE

Enable LTE? This cellular network is not carrier certified for LTE on iPhone. This may affect battery life, calls, text messages, answering machine and cellular data transmission. Click Enable LTE.

As soon as you turn on LTE mode, you will immediately feel good speed Internet, of course, a lot depends on the cellular operator, so when choosing an operator and tariff plan check if there is support for working in LTE networks. Well, keep an eye on the traffic, with LTE enabled, the limited traffic on the iPhone flows well!

Yesterday, owners of new iPhones, whose devices communicate with the world via a black and yellow SIM card, had the opportunity to make full use of the mobile Internet. Namely, . And while subscribers of other operators have to envy and wait for the results of negotiations with the American company, some users can already try out high-speed mobile Internet, but this will require a little effort. We have prepared instructions on what is needed to connect to Beeline's 4G networks from iPhone 5s and 5c.

The first step is to make sure that the smartphone can work in Russian networks. Representatives of the operator report that 4G operation has been successfully tested and guaranteed on the following models: A1457 and A1530 for iPhone 5s, as well as A1507 and A1529 for iPhone 5c. Owners of other handsets should not despair - there are reports that LTE is also appearing on 5s labeled A1533. But if buying a smartphone is still only in your plans, you should choose a device with guaranteed support for Russian frequencies.

A regular SIM card will not work for 4G on a smartphone. High-speed Internet requires a special USIM card, to obtain which you need to contact one of the Beeline offices, and do not forget your passport to confirm your identity. As an option, take with you the person in whose name the contract was concluded. Of course, also with a passport.

Having received the desired SIM card, you should look at the “Settings” section on your smartphone, then “General” and “About device”. There, users will receive the offer by downloading the carrier settings update. The process is no different from installing new versions of a mobile operating system and will take a little time.

4G Internet is available on all Highway options that operate in 3G and LTE networks. As for the connection speed to Beeline's LTE network, on average it is 10-20 Mbit/s, with a maximum of up to 74 Mbit/s. Of course, in practice, everything depends on real conditions, for example, the user’s location and network congestion. But in any case, connecting via LTE is much faster than the usual 3G network.

On this moment VimpelCom deployed LTE networks in Moscow and six regions Russian Federation: Kaliningrad region, Altai Republic, Adygea Republic, Ingushetia Republic, Kalmykia Republic, Astrakhan region. In each of the locations of presence, about 80% of urban areas are covered. The company's immediate plans include active development of 4G in the Moscow region and the launch of a network in St. Petersburg in March 2014. In the new year, the LTE network will be launched in six new regions and cities with a population of over a million throughout Russia.

It is important for Muscovites that the capital’s Beeline has begun to use frequencies in the 800 MHz range for LTE, which provide best quality indoor communications than 2.5-2.7 MHz. Support for CSFB mode is also present - the smartphone will seamlessly switch between 4G for mobile Internet and 3G network for voice calls. VoLTE technology, which allows making calls on LTE networks and exchanging short messages, will not be launched in the foreseeable future.

The pace of progress has become more and more rapid over the years - every day, here and there - new technologies, new devices, new theories... And even an advanced person today finds it difficult to keep track of all the innovations that rain down on him like from a cornucopia.

You don’t have to look far for an example - a user is browsing through the settings of his favorite Apple smartphone and suddenly notices the mysterious phrase “Enable LTE” and, of course, those who are curious in life have a question - what kind of LTE is this?

We are happy to help those who are thirsty for knowledge - in this article we will tell you everything about LTE (LTE) - what this technology is, how to connect it, how to disable it, configure it, and why it may not work on a particular iPhone.

LTE in the iPhone 5S is, strictly speaking, the same thing as LTE in the general sense of the word, or rather, in the general sense of this abbreviation.

LTE (stands for Long-Term Evolution, literal translation is “long-term development”) is new wireless standard communications for data exchange . Well, simply put, LTE is more high speed and perfect follower already, of course, known to everyone 3G . That is why this standard is often also called 4G or the fourth generation communication standard.

The main advantage of LTE

So, by turning on 4G on the iPhone, you get access to a more advanced data transfer standard, which has a lot of advantages compared to the 3G interface, but if we talk about the advantages that are obvious to the user, this exchange data on the Internet at higher speeds.

If 3G provides maximum surfing speed World Wide Web- 5 Mbit/sec, then the new communication standard is capable of delivering all 100! But. Of course, there is a but. In reality, operators cut the potential 4G capabilities to 20 Mbit/s in order to avoid network congestion. However, increasing the speed four times is also not bad, would you agree?

On the other hand, of course, you also need to understand that 5 Mbit/s for 3G and 20 Mbit/s for 4G are the maximum possible data speeds, which assume almost ideal reception conditions. So in the “harsh” reality, users work at much lower speeds. However, one way or another, 4G remains the “faster” standard.

Why isn't LTE enabled by default?

Probably, at this point you have a reasonable question - if the 4G standard is faster, why does it need to be activated separately, why doesn’t Apple make it enabled by default. And the point here is in some features of the development of LTE in Russia.

Our telecom operators are a little behind advanced countries in the development of data transmission standards, and when in the USA, for example, 4G networks were already being introduced in full swing, we did not yet have high-quality 3G coverage. Today, with the third communication standard, everything seems to be quite good, but LTE, of course, is not present everywhere.

What are the consequences of this state of affairs? Imagine, LTE is always on, and you are in an area where there are no networks of this standard. Your smart phone, of course, will automatically transfer you to the 3G network, but at the same time it will work tirelessly to find 4G. Needless to say, this endless search will not take a toll on the battery, which in modern powerful smartphones- weakness?

So it is better for Russian users, of course, to use the fourth standard network only in those places where it is definitely present. Then you will get a gain in speed, and the battery will not be used up faster than you would like.

However, in fairness, it is worth saying that not only Russian users, but also many other countries, face the problem of “not receiving LTE”. Yes, strictly speaking, even in such an advanced America, 4G cannot be found everywhere.

And we still need to pay tribute to our telecom operator, because in order to develop this standard in Russia faster, the avid competitors of the Big Three even enter into joint agreements on the partnership construction of stations for 4G service and their collective use.

How to enable LTE on iPhone 5S?

It is very simple to enable LTE in the iPhone 5S - you just need to move the slider opposite the line “Enable LTE” to the active position (the slider is located at the “address” - “Settings” / “Cellular Communications”).

How to disable 4G? Just make the slider inactive again.

The answer to the question of how to set up 4G on iPhone 5S is also simple - additional customization LTE networks not required on iPhone 5S. If after turning on 4G does not appear, read the section of this article “What to do if LTE doesn’t work?”

By the way, 5S is not the only “five” that can work with the new communication standard. Apple iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C also support LTE. How to enable 4G on them? Just like on iPhone 5S. Just keep in mind that in order for the “Enable LTE” slider to appear in the menu, your smartphone must be updated to at least iOS 8.

What about the “younger” iPhones? iPhone SE, sixes and, of course, sevens... Does LTE work on them? Certainly! Well, the iPhone 4S and older models of i-smartphones do not work with LTE.

Which iPhone 5S/5C/5 smartphone models support the Russian LTE network?

Well, you ask, don’t all iPhone 5S/5C/5 boast LTE support? Do you really need to pay extra for models that work with 4G networks? No. Here the matter is completely different.

The frequencies on which LTE operates differ in different countries, because first the relevant government department distributes the bands to the special services and the military, and only the “remains” are offered to operators. So operators work in different countries with different “remainders”.

Well, you might say, why not equip the iPhone with a multi-band receiver that would cover all the LTE bands that exist in the world and switch between them. Yes, of course, this can be done, but such a receiver will be very expensive, which, in turn, will affect the cost of the smartphone. And since the iPhone is already not a cheap phone, several models are produced, tuned to a number of ranges, rather than one universal version.

That’s why, when buying an iPhone 5S outside of Russia (as well as iPhone 5/5C models), you should always check whether the model supports Russian LTE frequencies.

So, which iPhone 5S models support LTE in Russia?

Russian 4G band is available on 5S - A1457, A1530 (some Russian operators They already work with models A1453 and A1533, but models 57 and 30 are a more reliable option).

As for models 5C and 5, they are, respectively, as follows: A1507, A1529 and A1429.

To find out which iPhone model you have, you can look at its code on the box in which the smartphone is shipped, but it’s safer, of course, to look at the “Settings” menu (“Basic” / “About this device” / “Standards”) of the device.

Which iPhone 6/6S/SE/7 models support LTE?

Well, if we talk about the “sixes”, the iPhone SE and the current Apple flagship- iPhone 7, then here we have good news, any model of these versions of the i-smartphone will work with Russian LTE frequencies.

Years of development of the standard, close cooperation between operators around the world and the Apple giant have led to the fact that it was possible to find the most common ranges, they are coded 7 and 20, the entire “Big Three” today works with these ranges, and all models of the sixth and iPhone 7s, as well as SE, support these bands.

What to do if LTE doesn't work?

So, we figured out which models support LTE, and now it’s time to figure out what to do and how to set up 4G on the iPhone 5S and on any other one if it doesn’t work.

Firstly, you need to make sure that

• your iPhone model supports LTE frequencies for Russia
• you are in a 4G zone
• you are using a new SIM card that works with LTE
• Your smartphone has the correct operator settings

In the first two cases, you can, of course, turn on 4G on the iPhone, but it makes no sense, the network still won’t appear.

As for other situations, let's figure out what can be done here.

If you are not sure that you have a new SIM card, you should contact your operator's office and clarify this point. If the SIM card is outdated, they will give you a new one completely free of charge, and LTE will be supported.

If you know for sure that your SIM is new, you are in an LTE zone and your model supports 4G, then the issue is most likely an incorrectly configured network. In this case, you need to reset the settings (“Settings” / “General” / “Reset” / “Reset network settings”), order new ones from the operator and reboot the smartphone. After this, the connection to the network should be successful. Otherwise, you have problems with the iPhone itself and need to contact the service.

By the way! For a long time, iPhone 5 users experienced connection problems, due to the fact that at the time of its release it was not yet entirely clear at what frequencies Russian LTE would operate.

As a result, models for our market received receivers operating at frequencies that were completely unsuitable for us, but over time, operators launched 4G at the iPhone 5 frequency for the Russian market. The first such operator was the little-known Motive, and only then the Big Three got down to business.

Let's summarize

LTE is a promising and promising standard, as evidenced by the great desire of operators to develop it - even the Big Three are deciding on partnerships. However, for now the coverage area for Russia still leaves much to be desired, but it’s nice that the iPhone, starting with the 5th model, has LTE support.

For now, of course, it’s better not to enable this option permanently, so as not to waste the battery, but in areas of reliable reception, why not “surf” the network at impressive speeds.

In this article we will talk about 4G, also called LTE. In most countries, 4G has been working for a long time, but in other countries it is slowly being introduced. I'll tell you how to enable 4G support on your iOS device and about all the problems that may arise during connection.

How to enable 4g ​​on iphone?

To set up 4G, the only condition is to have a smartphone and SIM cards with support for 4G technology.

You can check this using USSD codes:

We dial the combination *245 *5# and the call button. With this combination we will check whether our smartphone supports 4G. In my case everything is supported.

The second combination is *245 *4# and the call button. With this combination we will check whether our SIM card supports 4G. In my case, everything is supported the same way.

If your card does not support 4G. Then you need to contact the service center of your mobile operator and replace the card. The smartphone must have a SIM card - USIM standard.

After checking our phone and SIM card, and making sure that we have fulfilled all the conditions and everything works for us. Let's move on to the 4G settings on the phone itself. My phone, as you noticed, has 3G. We will fix this.

1. Go to the section - "Settings".

2. Select the item “Cellular Communications”

3. Go to the “Data Parameters” section.

From this list select the “LTE” item. And we confirm the inclusion.

Congratulations, you now have 4G. I also wanted to say that the 4G network is 10 times more powerful and makes it possible for more users to use the Internet without “sagging” speed.

I also forgot to say that combinations for checking a smartphone and a SIM card are suitable for the Kyivstar operator. If you have a different operator, then the combinations for checking may differ. Look on the website mobile operator which you are using.

Lifecell

For lifecell subscribers, you can find out whether the smartphone and card support this standard, either by calling 5433 in the call center, or in the “My lifecell” application, having previously updated it.

Vodafone

The combination is *222#. Wait for information with the result of the check.
