Thanks, that was the obvious place to look. Duh. No Sony Xperia S, hmm..

NoooooooooooooooHTC one s not there

Tuvoc · 13 Sep 2012 at 10:41

I'm shocked how few phones are on that list.

You'll also need a 4G sim card from them.

It says you need to nothing and the tariff will stay the same in the bit i read?

Well, if you look here for example the Sony Xperia S is 4G LTE:

Maybe that EE list is not comprehensive (or the above link is wrong)

LTE at 700 and 1700 only on the Xperia S - EE use 1800.

Wait for the next wave of phones that do LTE on 800, 1800 and 2600, some of the above do already I believe

Somone said on this forum you need a 4G contract onto of your orginal contract.

I could've read it wrong tho.

Is that the UK version of the phone though? As there are many more international LTE phones. For example the Current UK GS3 Does not have LTE for example. But the US Version does. You will need the new GS3 for LTE.

If you had then it probably wouldn't have been the LTE model anyway.

Robbo · 13 Sep 2012 at 13:14

Exactly, the above phones are all special new models. They don't have this LTE support out of the box.

samsung galaxy note should work then i believe that it has 4G and can cover 1800... :confused:

Good point. I looked on Sony's UK site and saw no menton of LTE.

You're right but i think it's more a case of brand management. I think all contracts involving 4G phones are likely to be be on EE or customers who have 4G phones under T-Mo/Ora will be moved over as part of a switch to it.

But the network is empty so the speeds are expected.
