Does my iphone 4s support GSM service? I recently upgraded to this smartphone from a AT

Does my iphone 4s support GSM service? I recently upgraded to this smartphone from an AT&T Non-smartphone and now I am not able to access data coverage at my cabin upnorth. AT&T says I only have GSM coverage in this location. Is there something I can do to make my iphone 4s do to pick this service up?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

It will support GSM. You will have to work with your carrier to

get the signal improved. In the past, with AT&T, if you complained

enough they would provide you with a MiFi device - but that only

helps if you have an internet connection already in place.


Your problem may be due to the remote location - particularly if you

are not in cell phone range due to lack of towers. But the responsibility

belongs to the AT&T. Is the problem that you can make/get phone

calls but do not have enough bandwidth for streaming video/audio?

Or is there no connection whatsoever?
