Hi all
We have just purchased a PAYG sim card for our daughters birthday to use in an old iphone 6 but it will not display 4G even though both of our existing Vodafone iphones correctly have a full 4G signal in our house
We have tried resetting network settings
ensured correct settings are applied in...iphone settings
Completed another full reset on itunes
reset the iphone itself
searched the forums and tried various things
tried PAYG sim in our pay monthly iphone vodaphone phones and it only displays 3G in both of them also
no luck at all the PAYG sim is only connecting to 3G - it has a full signal
please can this kindly be resolved ASAP as we believe that this issue must be at vodafone's end
Many thanks
Simon

Hi,
I have the same issue. I can't connect with 4G anywere. I have 3G, H+ only. Couple days ago I have bought two sim cards and moved two number from EE. I tryed manually choose 4G transmitter but nothing. I reported that issue by chat and they told me that 4G will be activated within 24 hours. Still nothing.
Can somebody do this with my numbers?
"Glad to say after 3 weeks, issue was fixed. My number was disconnected from the network and reconnected. That was the fix."
Kind regards

I thought the process was more along the lines of removing 4G totally, then re-applying it to the account. But, either way, it should be very do-able.
The real pity is that there seem to be these rashes of 4G not working on new accounts. For a while, all peaceful, then it's as though there's a batch of cards where the account hasn't been set up properly. Well, such things can happen, but there ought to be better awareness amongst CS staff of how it is to be fixed.

Hi, the problem has been resolved. Not sure how, but 4G suddenly started working a few days ago.
thanks!

Interesting to read this. I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone SE.
Please can someone from Vodafone Customer Services get in touch with me by Private Message to fix this.

Hi Alex - yes I have the 4G. Brilliant thanks
The advisor last night readded my Vodafone International and my PayAsYouGo 1 plan - but I don’t have IOU back - when I tried to add it myself it said I needed to be with Vodafone for 7 days - basically treating me as a brand new customer.
Is is there anything you can do to get this added back on for me sooner?
Thanks.

Yep sounds like exactly the same problem I am having.
Once you get your line disconnected and reconnected it will work, getting to this point is often a challenge!
Thanks to the moderators on this forum for their proactiveness!
