The important thing to remember here is apart from 4G availability in your state you should also have a 4G compatible smartphone with band support. Let us understand it in detail with an example below: Suppose if you have a device X with 4G support and have a SIM card also with 4G services in your circle. Here if the mobile operator supports a particular band in your circle say Band 3 but your device doesn’t support that LTE band then you cannot access 4G services. So, important here is you should have a phone with 4G Band support in your circle for a particular mobile network to avail LTE services. Indian telecom operators have received spectrum license to operate LTE networks over BAND 5 LTE FDD (850 Mhz), BAND 3 LTE FDD (1800 Mhz), BAND 40 LTE TDD (2300 Mhz) and BAND 41 LTE TDD (2500 Mhz).
