Hi there, a really simple question which I don't have the answer for despite reading numerous whirlpool iPhone 5 threads. If I get the Telstra Prepaid Nano Sim Card, will I get LTE or 3G speed? I want to buy an iphone 5 outright and get a prepaid service. Thanks.
I did exactly what you want to do - bought an iphone 5 outright and using telstra prepaid sim.. i get LTE in the city but in suburbia i am getting 3G only. I originally had the larger sim but when i picked up the iphone they switched me to a nano sim on the spot.. Hope this helps..
Hey guys, great help there! Thanks! I'll just pick up a nano sim and hopefully I can get LTE where I live (near broadway nsw), if not 3g would suffice. I'm sure Telstra's 3g is miles ahead of Voda's. Now I shall battle in the iphone 5 lottery system with the apple store and hopefully get myself one very soon.
Picked mine up from Broadway, and there was LTE there :) I got it through their reservation page (https://reserve.apple.com/AU/en_AU/reserve/iPhone) - I entered my details just after 7am and that same day got a confirmation that they put one aside for me, and can be picked up the next day. Good luck :)
Wow, lucky you! I have been reserving it at the George Street store because I want to experience buying it from an apple store with fancy glass windows. Stuff that, I'll just head to Broadway! Thanks for the tip.
Both, depending on the area you're in and whether there is LTE signal or not. (the LTE service area is currently limited to inner metro only)
I don't believe you need a special SIM to get LTE on any of the networks.
What you do need is a handset with suitable hardware to send and receive LTE signal at the appropriate frequency.
I think you ought to be fine buying a Prepaid SIM.
