It is strange i will try in some other region / places to see if it has 4G. Maybe it is a problem with the equipment...
There is coverage in my zone from my carrier. I will contact Vodafone to see if they help me to find the problem. Thanks for the help
EDIT: there was a problem with my service in the network. It is fixed now, have 4G.
I have a somewhat similar problem of owning an s4 mini but only getting HSPA+ (icon "H+" in the status bar) and not 4G LTE (icon "4G"). In fact, since I purchased the unit in late July, I have *never* to my knowledge had 4G service, only HSPA+. The key difference from the OP is that I am in the U.S., have T-Mobile as my carrier, and my s4 mini is an unlocked unit. Has anyone else bought an unlocked s4 mini for the U.S. market and not been able to achieve 4G LTE?
T-Mobile offers 4G LTE in my area (Detroit area), and I have also used the phone in Hawaii, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland, OR. In none of these places have I attained 4G LTE service.
At first, T-Mobile said that the phone probably operates on incompatible bands with their network. But I confirmed that the 4G LTE bands used by T-mobile are supported by the s4 mini. So back to why no 4G LTE??? Any advice would be great appreciated. Love everything about the phone, except for the disappointment of having expected to have 4G LTE on my newly purchased phone.

In my s4 mini i cannot get 4G signal, only H+. And i am in 4G zone. Anyone have this issue? Thanks
Hi newarkoz,
I have the same problem in Vodafone PT, when I called the customer service, they tried to make an elaborate excuse that 4G signal was being displayed as H+ on S4 mini.
And by now I know it´s a lie.
Can you share what you did?

Yes it is a lie. I called the customer service and they told me that my SIM CARD wasn't 4G so they send me another to my home (or you can go get one in a store). Then the problem persisted, so i called them again and they said that they needed to activate the 4G in my service. In one hour i get 4G on S4 Mini.
Maybe your problem is on the SIM CARD... Try to go to a store.
And see in this page if the location where you are trying to use 4G is covered: http://www.vodafone.pt/main/Ajuda/Cobertura/
At first I saw thought that two, but after recieving the 4G ready sim card, the problem persists.
I´m gonna call them again.
Thank you very much for your help.

"Update: I just called the customer service again, and in fact they told me the 4G service was not active on my account. In one hour I should have 4G."

[Update] It didn't worked for me... :/ i dont know what to do
