LTE settings on Iphone 6

Hi guys, I cannot find LTE settings on my Iphone 6. Any ideas?

Apple instructions don't work - cannot see any reference to LTE

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options and tap Enable LTE or Settings > Mobile Data and tap Enable LTE. If your carrier supports Voice over LTE (VoLTE), you'll see these options:

Off: Turns off LTE

Hi @Jimboaloobob

Why would you want to disable 4G or VoLTE?

It improves your service and also unlocks access to EE's extended-range 4G coverage that isn't otherwise available.

Thanks for reply. I want to boost my mobile signal as I live in a flat surrounded by trees. EE do a boost that requires you have 3g and I see no option to select it.

Actually @Jimboaloobob it's the opposite.

EE used to provide a "Signal Box" that plugged into your home broadband and acted as a mini-3G-cell where you otherwise had no coverage.

Those signal boxes are now old technology, and WiFi-calling is the recommended coverage solution anywhere that you don't have mobile coverage.

EE also have "extended-range" coverage that (where it's available) can improve 4G coverage in rural & indoor locations, but you need to have a 4G-calling device on a pay-monthly plan to be able to use that. And if you disable 4G, then you would lose access to that.

That's brilliant, thanks a lot!
