Yes it does! Besides, you have gotten your answers from the simple test you did.

If the sim is old, it probably may have lose one of the legs to the chip...sim has 6legs, so the browsing fit slow or messages don't enter or enters lately.

Also, the band of a phone determines the kind of speed you get. If your network provider doesn't give you service on the band ur phone supports, OYO lo wa

Lies bro its not sim proby its your phony, most phones don't cover a wide range of bands amd thats where top phone brands like iPhone ans Samsung gets it right. Ppl using iPhone don't experience slow network even on Glo meanwhile in that same location some will tell u inside their parlor no network unley dinning room

Where can one get the settings for this on the phone?

crackkhaus:

Right, so is your SIM old?

It was at that time which was why I told you the video call would be slow and all that. But I've upgraded it and it's now in a 4g enabled phone so Internet speed is faster than before.

crackkhaus:

Okay ma

Which brand of phone supports fast 4g speed?

KrazyDave16:


Exactly!!!

@OP It's the phone having several bands and having several antennas in several parts of the phone plus the modem that's in the chipset.
Also put into consideration that some of these phones supports LTE categories like LTE-A (LTE aggregation) which is the combination of several bands to give you high data speeds and prevent loss of network, hence why the phones mentioned can surf the web with glo whereas some phones will be slower than a snail unless you're within reach of the mast that has the band.

Other factors affect data speeds but SIM cards doesn't determine how fast your network speeds should be

decatalyst:


Almost all Samsung phones supports all bands of network.

iPhone supports all. That's why I have respect for the phone. The support of all bands and security authentication level makes it stand out. But I am still not going to buy it! I think it is overpriced

edoairways:

Why na ? Which do you suggest I get?

dangoteinlaw:
to further buttress your point if sim supported network speed Airtel would have had all their customers get a new sim but instead they only insist you only get a 4g enabled smartphone and that was it. Mtn selling new 5g sims was just to boost their customer base and offcourse make more money from sim sales

My own is does phone help your internet speed.
Like something using a 4gsim in an itel phone and someone using the same 4g sim in maybe samsung,iPhone and the likes.Will the speed be the same.

classicfrank4u:

It depends... If the itel is 4g enabled it will be fast too... But never thesame with an iPhone or Samsung
