Vodafone 4G LTE launched in Mumbai

[sp399]

they have rushed their 4G launch just to get some monies in their pocket before the JIO launch :smirk:.... I have been using 4G from past 2 days and network is crap.... network strength drops to half whenever i switch to LTE unch::swear:....

I might apply for 4G card today.. Assuming vodafone center nearby has 4G SIM cards.

At Vodafone stores they have less stock of ported sim .they have 4g cards in 2 category one for Vodafone number and another for ported sim.So if you having ported number they might not have sim cards in stock.i changed my 1st card to 4g and the next day i got to store for my another card they were out of stock.
also I have tested Vodafone LTE at Mumbai airport at night and speed were not much good they were giving result same as Vodafone 3G.here it is screnshot

Techbhp, what iOS are you running ? I am still on iOS 8.4 and little apprehensive about upgrading to latest. I heard Apple has to certify a LTE network before customers can use it. VODAFONE LTE works fine on latest iOS. So I am trying to figure out if I would really have to upgrade or will it work on 8.4 too ?

@Dhiraj my phone having ios 9.2.1 there is no issue with LTE mode.As of now there is few 4G towers installed in mumbai but they are not boosted yet for the 4G.they are showing the same 3G speeds ....

Thanks @techbhp

I am in south mumbai and still not getting LTE. So I guess it may have to do with upgrade. I'll do the os upgrade and try it out.

True, it had nothing to do with iOS upgrade. Its working on my iPhone now but the network is very sporadic. I hope it improves with time.

I forgot to mention here.

I got 4G SIM but I am not getting LTE symbol!

All I get is 3G symbol.

How do I know if iPhone locked on to 3G or 4G network?

In android it shows 2G/3G next to operators names but no such thing on iPhone!

The same place where you see 3G, you will see a "LTE" symbol. Check the iPhone screenshots that users have shared in this post, you will see a LTE in those.
