4G in Belgium

Dear Apple / customers




When will we have 4G unlocked for carriers that provide 4G in Belgium? Mobistar does not have 4G and with the iPhone 5 we have the possibility to use 4G only on the Mobistar carrier. Proximus and Base provide 4G but with an iPhone 5 it is not possible to use these fast networks?




Does anyone has an idea when we Belgians can access fast networks with our beloved machines?

that's not correct! Apple is the only cause of this:


- Mobistar is the favourite carrier of Apple in Belgium but he has no 4G network ready, nevertheless it has been given 4G authorization 7 months ago even if in test phase


- Proximus and Base have their 4G network ready and tested and approved already by other manufacturers as Samsung


Apple is simpling forbidding 4G in Belgium to protect Mobistar


That's against the free internet access principle


Apple is punishing his loyal Customers to protect a provider !!! :-(

It's an official communication from a Belgian provider, it's gone on tv and press, don't you think Apple would have legally pursued the company if the communication was false?

No.

By the way iPads are already working in Belgium in 4G regardless of the provider can you explain me why this?

???

You just told me iDevices weren't working on 4G and Apple was preventing them from working on 4G...


Are you a a french model?
