Three mobile - "Carrier Settings Update" message.

Hi
I'm with Three mobile. Just had a "Carrier Settings Update" message on my iPhone. Does this mean I am now on 4G? If so, how can I check?

Thanks

What version you currently have..rumour has it that the latest one also limits tethering..

Do you live in a 4g area to make use of it? do you have speedtest app installed - so you could see what speeds you are getting..

No - the change only modified the APN so if you were planning to tether, 3UK would know due to the way you accessed the service (using the 'personal hotspot' toggle).

As for 4G, this would automatically show in the same place you normally see 3 / 3G - and has worked this way even before the settings update.

Thanks guys.

So when my phone is upgraded, I will see 4 in the top left hand corner of the screen instead of the 3 thats there now? I must admit I thought the 3 was for Three mobile. As you can probabally tell, I'm fairly new to smartphones so did not get into 'Tethering', so wont miss that feature if it has now been removed by this update.

Cheers

No, the network name won't change, it will still say "3", but where your phone currently says "3G" in the status bar it will show "4G" when you are in a 4G area, and still "3G" when you are in a 3G area.
