Could be the aus set you are using be a different LTE network band compared to Sg and My sets. I heard Digi is utilizing a different bandwidth compared to celcom and maxis. One of mh previous iphone 5 which I gave to a staff canno get LTE either and we are on digi as well. Previously the phone could get LTE when i was using it but I was on Maxis.

digi using 2600mhz for lte.

iphone 5 sg/aus/my set only support 1800 mhz which maxis is using

https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

scroll down to iphone 5 then u will see the bandwith supported by ip5.

well if you see the link it shows australia set does support 2600Mhz frequency band.

It could be USA CDMA version. Such set doesn't use any simcard ( like what we had here). These are tied down to telco n telco info embedded into phone. This is my understanding of CDMA sets but hadn't seen any USA CDMA sets yet
CDMA sets are locked to telco that sell it n I understand you cannot switch telco too.
CDMA networks not supported in M'sia n many other Asian countries too

True. We also must consider other sillier possibilities. Like she mistaking the ipad mini for a 6+, not realizing that hole in the side is the sim card tray, bought an imitation brand, etc laugh.gif

like mentioned, cdma phones do not have a sim slot as shown in the pic below. iPhone 4 for reference only.

user posted image

the confusion is due to the different variations of iPhones used in the US.


QUOTE

New generation of iPhone has been officially available and it comes in two versions this time, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Apart from considering between a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch iPhone, consumers also have to deal with choosing among different models, including A1549, A1586, A1589, A1522, A1524 and A1593.


I see a lot of people buy iPhone 6 in the U.S. or on eBay with global shipping but many of those phones couldn’t work in their countries because there are some iPhone models manufactured for different wireless carriers and markets. They have almost the same tech specs but there are some differences in cellular connectivity. The situation is much better this year as the new iPhone 6/6 Plus features new VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology, which means you can buy a GSM version and still can use a full range of services on CDMA networks. For example, you can buy a sim-free T-Mobile phone and completely avoid CDMA to use it on Verizon. Some carriers offering VoLTE are T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon in the US; Hutchinson Telecom (3), CSL and SmarTone in Hong Kong; SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ in South Korea and StarHub in Singapore.
As VoLTE hasn’t become popular worldwide yet, I’d recommend you to check carefully so that you can purchase the most compatible one. The model numbers of iPhones can easily be found on the box or on the back cover. The amount of iPhone 6’s model numbers is less than iPhone 5S’, then it is much easier for us to pick the right one. So, what are the differences between those iPhone models? Let’s check them out.
buying a verizon phone in the US is not an issue as it comes with a sim slot. but there are certain models which are without sims and those don't make it to this part of the world hence making them rare to be seen around.

QUOTE

Yes, all Verizon iPhones have had a nano SIM card since at least iPhone 5 for the LTE signal which is high speed data transmission. iPhone 6 & 6 plus are able to use the new Voice over LTE (VoLTE) service to make voice calls over the high speed frequency to currently other Verizon phones capable of the same for high definition calls. They will expand that to call phones on other carriers next year. All other phones will cause the iPhone 6 to make the call over the regular 3G band.

I can't get 6 hours of usage on my existing Note 3's 3200mah battery even now, tops is 4 hours. So 6 hours for me is impressive enough, ha ha ha...

Yes, its a corporate account as it is a company line. The sim card has been changed to Digi's latest Nanosim card (Black Sim Card) and still doesnt work. Called Digi CS and they told me certain Iphone 5 models doesn't support their LTE bandwidth.

But I read that CDMA versions of the iphone were only produced on iphone 4 and iphone 5 batches. Iphone 6 and 6 + only comes carrier locked and it still has a sim card tray but already comes standard with their respective telco nano sim inserted and it doesn't comes with the sim card ejector like mentioned.

If for me, I would save myself all these hassle and buy a local MY set since its due to launch already now. thumbup.gif

Starting with iPhone 5s, it is known as "world phone" where both CDMA and GSM are in the same chipset. So to be sure, better ask you friends relative take a picture and show it to you.

I remember buying a Melko case for my ex Note once. The photo shots shows it really looks like original Melko. I had bought several Melko cases before from Melko site directly and their flipcases always follow same pattern on different phone models. I bought it since was cheap RM80 vs Melko site quoted RM 120
When I received it straightaway I know it was an imitation : firstly its external packaging doesn't had Melko badging and its bottom side of the flipcase doesn't had a cutout for the USB port
I contacted the seller and he had the nerve to tell me " I didn't advertised it as original Melko , just Melko " !!
Well it was a good lesson learned buying cheaper than original pricing
