I tried a bunch of things to get LTE to work on my phone. Power off and on, no joy. Turn cellular data on and off multiple times, no dice. Moved to a different geographic area. Nope. There were no updates from my cell provider.

This seemed to work. I toggled the phone into airplane mode and then turned airplane mode off. Boom LTE is working now. It totally makes no sense!

I wish this worked for iOS 12.1 on my iPhone 6s on T-Mobile. My wife is on 12.0.1 and the LTE connection has been working super smoothly on her iPhone 6s, but mine is flaky! It's just there enough to make you think you've got something. But click on Amazon App? Nothing. Try hotspot? Nothing. It pretends it's connected to your laptop but it's not.

I don't know what's going on. It's been on 12.1 for a while but this weekend it just became unsuable even though I can still text and talk on the phone. But data is dead. I wonder if I'm throttled?

Thank you, I had not thought of that. I checked, (Settings> General> About). Unfortunately there is no update available for Verizon at this time.

You have unlimited plan on t-mobile? If not unlimited data maybe you use all your data! If you have unlimited data and this happening contact apple and t-mobile.
