LTE not available on LTE enabled network in Belgium (Belgacom)

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

Just got back and you're correct. Didn't get any 4G. I guess you're right that I first need the LTE switch.


Was worth trying. Altough I live in a 4G zone, I thougt that the signal was maybe not strong enough to pass through the walls :-)


And I also read somewhere that the phone first needs to detect 4G before the switch is enabled.

Auka,

I also work at Belgacom and have an iPhone 5 without 4G connectivity or 4G/LTE switch.


About those people on the Proximus 4G network using an iPhone 5:

Isn't it possible these are roaming users from a carrier who does officially support LTE as seen on Apple's page?


Either way, I have tried everything too, but no 4G. Can I send you my number to check if it's activated on my MSISDN?
