VS995 4G bands: LTE band 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 13(700), 20(800)
Vodafone UK 4G bands: 800 & 2600
O2 UK 4G bands: 800

So on the face of it according to the above info I should have no problem whatsoever getting LTE on the VS995.

I believe I've tried everything but I can't seem to get H+ or LTE reception on Vodafone UK or Giffgaff UK (O2), that's all I've tried so far. I've tried different APNs which mirror what I have on my Note 4 & Tab S both get LTE and I'm in the same geographical area. I haven't started to personalize the phone yet or log into Google as I want to make sure LTE works.

I do get a message coming up on my phone saying
SIM card is not from Verizon Wireless
but I'm assuming that's normal. I am getting HSPA(H) but no faster!!

NETWORK SETTINGS
Mobile Date: ON
Roaming: Allow access for all trips
Network Mode: LTE/GSM/UMTS
Network Submode: LTE/Legacy 3GPP multi
Automatically select preferred network is selected
When I Search for all available networks this is what I get for Vodafone & O2:
vodafone UK = RAT:GSM
vodafone UK = RAT:WCDMA
O2 - UK = RAT:GSM
O2 - UK = RAT:WCDMA
O2 - UK = RAT:LTE

I've tried and checked the APN settings for Vodafone & Giffgaff which I use successfully on my other devices. Baffled am I missing something ?
