In respect to this, how do I check my LTE band?
To launch engineer mode we use a secret code (i.e *#*#83781#*#*) dialled on the stock/default phone dialler and which should work on most Spreadtrum devices. The code may however not work with all devices in which case you can try searching online for your device specific code.
Additionally, how do I know what band My phone is? You can easily determine the frequency of your cell phone in your given area. Visit wirelessadvisor.com, enter your zip code, and hit the search button. A list of all the cell phone carriers in your area will appear. Find your carrier on the page and cell phone frequency is listed next to 'SYSTEM:' in MHz.
Furthermore, how do I know if my area has Globe LTE?
Customers who are already using an LTE SIM and device will see an LTE or 4G signal indicator when they are in an area with 4G coverage. To check if a SIM is LTE/4G-capable, they may text SIM CHECK to 8080 for free.
Is LTE the same as 4g?
LTE, sometimes known as 4G LTE, is a type of 4G technology. Short for "Long Term Evolution", it's slower than "true" 4G, but significantly faster than 3G, which originally had data rates measured in kilobits per second, rather than megabits per second.
