Should change to 4G be automatic when upgrading

I bought an upgrade from 3G to 4G but this does not register on my phone. Is there something else I should do?

Have you purchased a handset upgrade, @Neville Carrington

An iD SIM card will work with 3G, 4G and 5G, if the handset has these network capabilities, and signal reception is good enough.

2G has NEVER been available with iD Mobile.

There’s no such upgrade?

4G is standard offering.

Thanks - my previous  contract was several years old and still shows on my phone settings as 2G/3G. I’ve just bought an upgrade but currently the settings on my phone still show as above. I’m now being charged for my upgrade but the settings haven’t changed on my phone yet. Maybe I’m being too impatient.

Dealt with thank you.  I think my SIM card was at least 8 years old and on my Samsung 21 the network was shown as 2G/3G. This message is still on the screen but also VoLTE  calls SIM 1 new which I have checked is 4G so no problem. I just had to upgrade.

Hi @Neville Carrington,

Is this now resolved?

It sounds like a new SIM was needed to get this resolved.

If you still require further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @Donald Wood 

 

If you’ve made an upgrade your monthly charges may change, you’ll need to check your account for anything such as this.
