Having 4G connectivity is a great advantage that all users would like to have, since 4G networks can exceed up to 6 times the speed of traditional 3G networks.

Well here we will tell you how to activate 4G in WOM.
Imagine if before you noticed a big difference between what would be the 2 G and 3G, believe me that when we are going to talk about the speed at which 4G can reach it is really noticeable too. Thus, it is normal that many people want if or if they have 4G on your mobile phone so that you can navigate practically as if you were connected to WiFi.
To consider
First of all, 4G is relatively new to say in some way for companies, therefore, it is normal that in some places the coverage is mostly quite poor, to be honest. In any case, You could call the operator to find out more about it.
In turn, it must be taken into account that Wom works in a band different from the other companies like Clear, Movistar or Entel. This means that if your mobile was in one of these companies you will not be able to use 4G, but rather only 3G.
We also have to take into account the fact that perhaps your mobile is not compatible with 4G, in order to know if this technology can really be used on your mobile, we recommend that first of all you enter the website https://www.wom.cl/4g/ Then what you will have to do is enter your mobile as if you were going to make a call the code * # 06 # to get the number of IMEI and enter it on the web with the email and our name in order to know if the mobile we have can really be used with 4G from WOM or not.
How to activate 4G in WOM?
Activating the fourth generation LTE network in WOM is something very easy to do from Android. Simply You must go to the Settings menu -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode and you will see that the current option is WCDMA / GSM (Automatic Connection) which is the option that usually comes in Android factory, but to enjoy mobile data in 4G you must select LTE / WCDMA / GSM. If you have a question you can consult this guide.
By selecting LTE / WCDMA / GSM what you tell the phone is that when there is no coverage to connect to a 4G network, then it will connect to a previous network automatically¸ these networks can be 3G or 2G (depending on availability but always the best one).
The way to activate 4G is very simple, more than anything if you have a mobile with the operating system of Google, Android. The only thing we are going to have to do is simply go to the Mobile Settings part, once there we press on Mobile Networks and then we will go to where it says Network Mode to change the configuration and put LTE / WCDMA / GSM. Because when it’s in WCDMA / GSM (Automatic Connection) takes the 3G and 2G networks.
The configuration that we select will then give priority to 4G, In any case, if we do not have a 4G connection nearby, do not worry because it will seek to connect by 3G also automatically without you having to do anything and not even notice it.
I can’t get how to activate 4G in WOM
If after having done the previous configuration you still cannot connect to 4G with your mobile, you may not be taking some things into consideration. Let’s see:
1.- WOM compatibility:
WOM is one of the last companies that has entered the mobile operator market in Chile, so that WOM works at bands of different frequencies than Movistar, Entel and Claro. This means that if your mobile is originally from one of these companies and you have switched to WOM, WOM’s 4G network is probably not compatible with your mobile.
2.- Coverage:
Being a practically new company in Chile, It is possible that the 4G network is not yet implemented in your residence¸ so you have to wait for the coverage to spread to new places little by little. One way to know if the area where you are has 4G coverage is by calling the operator WOM at 103 or to the number (+56) 223377600 from landlines.
