I was very excited about the opening of the first public LTE network in Belgium by the carrier Belgacom.
This carrier runs LTE on 1800MHz which is supported by my european iPhone 5.
Apparently Apple blocks access or is not willing to provide a carrier settings update for us to access this LTE network?
iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1
Bought from Mobistar - Model MD297NF yes.
MD2**NF numbers indicate color and storage capacity. Don' think that would matter here.
Everybody check your settings->general and add your info to this topic.

same version for everyone
a colleague has an iphone 5 and no 4g here in the belgacom building in Brussels (we have our 4G antenne)
If it's true what they say over here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1472856.
Then that means that the switch to enable LTE is dependend on the carrier settings (signed carrier profile and not just APN settings).
But this would not explain why those few Proximus customers have LTE.
I'm busy doing a full restore via iTunes instead of the OTA update I performed 2 weeks ago.
Let's see if it does anything :-)
Restore is done, still no 4G
Settings have stayed the same.
Still carrier 13.0
Modemfirmware 1.01.00
Fastest way to a solution is spread the word that iPhone 5 does not support Proximus LTE.
Go tell all your friends!
See how long it takes before Apple takes action...
it's not the solution
first, the LTE has to be active on the number and have the switch in the device
some people here sent me their number, the LTE was not active on their number
Then what is the solution Auka? Sit and wait?
hey Auka,
Yes I also send you my number a few days ago and you activated the LTE for me because it was inactive.
But as you mentionned before that the girl/woman did an update to 6.0.1 a few days ago (and she is on 4G) I thought that maybe there is a difference in the update via OTA or the full update. So I tried, but it doesn't work.
Have you had any response from Apple?
Maybe you are not contacting the right people at Apple?
Try to get in contact by phone.
All European iPhone are the same (identical hardware): model A1429
In the software almost every country has another model number. I have model MD297B, Bought in Britain. DN: Germany, NF: France/Belgium etc.
They should all be compatible with the Proximus LTE network as they have identical hardware
Why some iPhones now work with LTE is a mistery. Mine doesn't work either btw. Yesterday I was in Leuven all day long, I only had 3G.(iOS 6.01)
LTE not available on LTE enabled network in Belgium (Belgacom)
