I recently upgraded my 3G service to 4G (Feb16) and have not noticed a speed increase. Is there something I need to do on my phone? I have rebooted it.

I guess I will have to wait until my plan is updated the beginning of March before I get the service. Does this sound right?
@WayneH That's right. You won't receive any benefits until the new plan is paid for and comes into effect.

@WayneH , did you do an immediate renewal or has the account completed a scheduled renewal? Once the 4G speed plan kicks in, you should be seeing a higher download speed provided you are getting either a 4G or 5G connection on your phone. There is no need to do network resets. The speed cap is handled at the Public Mobile end by way the current plan that is enabled in an account. Note that your phone can connect to 4G or 5G network provided it is compatible regardless of the plan speed you have in the account. Plan speed and network connection are two different things.

Does it take public mobile a fews days to make the change to my service level?

Thanks for responding. I have an iPhoneXR and the Cellular/Voice & Data setting is set to LTE. The only other option is 3G. The current download rate is 3MB down, 1 up (3G slow).

HI @WayneH
first, click Reset all networks on your phone
and then check Network mode on your phone, make sure Automatic is selected. Or you can manually choose 4G or LTE
and try speed test and let us know how fast you have

Go to your phone cellular data setting to 4G/LTE.
