I think they have only switched it on in Lagos. OP, how long have you had this particular etisalat sim?

That means Etisalat has been issuing Usim for a quite a long time. Could you tell us your device so that we can narrow down which LTE band etisalat may be using?

I find that hard to accept though

barackodam:


And what's usim?

Usim(Universal subscriber identity module) is an advanced type of sim card, with better security, able to handle more s, it can encrypt calls and data, and so on. It's the standard sim for accessing 4G LTE.

Your Samsung has had 4G since forever simply because you are using a T-mobile variant of Samsung. T-mobile USA coin its 3.5G as 4G, for marketing purpose. That's how their variant of phones are.

I have clarified it for him.
