If you are using your iPhone 5 on an LTE carrier that is supported by Apple, such as AT&T or Verizon in the United States, then the LTE option will be enabled by default. But if the feature has been switched off and you are only able to access 3G or Edge networks when you think you should be able to access LTE, then you can follow the steps below to re-enable the LTE feature on your iPhone 5. Step 1: Tap the Settings icon.
Step 2: Select the General option.
Step 3: Touch the Cellular option.
Step 4: Move the slider to the right of Enable LTE to the On position.
