I just notified a new software update is available on my iPhone 4S to get upgrade the Cellular Network from 3G to 4G on My Family Mobile - powered by T-Mobile. See for more detail as http://www.myfamilymobile.com/ or http://www.t-mobile.com/ for which 4G network is working on both iPhone 4, 4S, or 5...
iPhone 4S
Damien,
Spot on, yes it is possible for iphone 4S to use 4G LTE.
I presume one has to be equipped with latest OS in order to capture the latest software suitable for such an upgraded.
I have done it and it has been working perfectly.
Hey friend Damien, sorry my iPhone 4 (16 GB - White) by T-Mobile does not support 4G capable... Only 3G network..
Unfortunately, the cellular LTE and 4G network are NOT supported on my iPhone 4... Only on iPhone 5, 5S, & 5C for which they have LTE and 4G + ultrafast wireless is very expensive over $550 each when I don't want them.... I would like to keep using my iPhone 4 (16 GB - White) forever in more than 30 years lifetime warranty after I purchased since July 2002, now about 12 years ago...
Just a clarification for both Ashley and Damien about T-mobile's network:
3G- UTMS most common and reliable data network
4G is the HSPA+ network
LTE fastest/latest and greatest cellular data network
Notes:
3G/4G only works on the the 4S on the 1900mhz refarmed band.
Otherwise its 1700/2100 AWS which is not compatible with the 4/4S.
The iphone 4 only supports 3G.
The 4S supports up to 4G (but on these bands: 850, 900, 1900, 2100)
The 5 (C and S also) support everything and LTE.
Lastly Ashley, the iPhone 4 was released in 2010... how can you have a warranty before the iPhone was created?

No. It's not. You don't know what you're talking about.
The indicator in the status bar that says "4G" indicates that the phone is connected to an HSPA+ network, which is technically considered "4G" by the ITU and the carriers. It is NOT the same as LTE, which is what most people are referring to when they say "4G".
The iPhone 4S does NOT contain the necessary hardware to connect to an LTE network.

You aren't correct, Read my other post again.
In a nutshell, 4G ≠ LTE
The 4S supports HSPA+ otherwise known as 4G, not LTE.
The terms are no longer interchangable.
iphone4 does not support LTE
My iPhone 4S has upgrade the Cellular Network to use 4G on T-Mobile
