Q: iPhone 5 EDGE only
Hi,
I have a iPhone 5 and no metter which SIM card I input, the phone is picking only EDGE signal.
- All sim cards pick LTE when inserted in another iphone
- The phone has the latest iOS 9
- I did reset the network settings
- The cellular setting is set to LTE
- I was prompted to update the carrier settings when going to About which I did
Any idea what that could be? Can an iPhone be simlocked to Edge only ?
cheers
iPhone 5, iOS 9.3.5

Can you clarify what you mean by "Edge"? It that the carrier name or are you referring to the older, slower GSM Edge networks? If so, you may have a version of the iPhone 5 that doesn't support the LTE bands your carrier uses. Go to Settings>General>About and check the model number of the phone.
