2g,3g,4g option still missing after iOS 8.1 update on iphone 6

i just updated my iphone 6 to iOS 8.1 after seeing that it will add the 2g,3g toggle back. But even after updating it the toggle is still missing. Can't change from 3g to 2g

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

Where are you located and who is your phone carrier?


You may need to wait for your carrier update.

no apple just leaves them no other choice ....the only carriers, that have the 3g/2g button are those, that support LTE but dont have it on the network. that means if the carrier is already using the LTE in his network, its customers wont be able to turn off the 3g.
sorry maybe i dont get it but to me it looks like its only apple, forcing the carriers(and customers), if they are using LTE or voLTE.

the battery of my iphone 6 wouldnt last 1 day if i have mobile data enabled the whole time...



maybe apple is really not participating in this forum, but i bet they are reading.

Hi guys,

One thing I would like to add to this thread is - AirTel is still not supported with iPhone 6, particularly for the LTE. I have visited an AirTel Relationship Centre this morning and they said their network will start supporting iPhone 6 by the end of November and then only I can use 4G LTE in it. I guess this is the reason why we are not getting the 2G, 3G or 4G toggle in iPhone 6.

I tried almost every network on my iPhone 5s and only Airtel seems to be having the issue. Change the network or Port it to other Carriers.


This is strictly Carrier's Problem and Airtel is too lazy to update it. You cant even make them understand the issue too.


Right now I am on Vodafone and i am able to toggle between 2G, 3G and LTE !! 🙂 Cheers
