AT&T Wireless data - why can't we get LTE?

[pdtpoet]

My iPad can use AT&T wireless data through LTE and has for years.  I live about 30 miles from New York City in a well-populated suburban area.  
This morning I purchased a micro-sim from AT&T and added it to my family data account (LTE) and successfully inserted into the Gemini micro-sim slot.  When I powered on the Gemini with the SIM card installed, only the 3G signal showed.  I can access data with the Gemini over 3G, but (as anyone) would prefer LTE.

The Planet Computer website suggests that LTE should be accessible.  Is anyone else in the United States with a Gemini and AT&T data account able to use the LTE?  Is there some setting I failed to address?  I am not tech-conversant so that is possible.

Any input would be appreciated.

It's a bit better on T-Mobile, but still not exactly "modern".  

I dealt with this problem with my old LG F3Q phone.  Like the LG, Planet didn't
exactly pick a chip with the respectable support of frequencies used in the US
so there are a lot more places where those frequencies just aren't recognized.

Sucks to have a brand new phone and be plunking along on 3G.   :/

Here's hoping they come out with a GeminiMX with a proper chipset and a real
camera, backlit keyboard, etc etc.



Good luck,

Thanks for the reply, PJS.  Doesn't sound very hopeful.  I was hoping for a software fix.  Would it be possible for Planet to modify the e-SIM so it could accept LTE?

I'm in the UK but this worked for me, did you try it yet? https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?s=&...st&p=286592
