Thanks with that info.

I just discovered something strange about Globe's LTE and their SIM cards.

Last week (Tuesday), I bought an Xperia Z in Glorietta 3 and proceeded to the nearest Globe Business Center to replace my standard SIM with one that is already LTE-enabled.

When I got to their office, I specifically asked for a micro-SIM card that is LTE-enabled. Prior to my visit, I knew for a fact that they're already offering the BB Z10 LTE (which also uses a micro-SIM) so I'm confident that Globe's LTE is no longer exclusive to the iPhone's nano-SIM.

Well, almost a week later, still no 4G reception on my phone. All this time, I was only connecting at up to H+ speeds and was almost certain that it could be a problem with my new phone. I was even considering returning it to the shop. But on a hunch, I borrowed an officemate's nano-SIM from his iPhone 5. Using a bit of Scotch tape, I was able to secure the nano-SIM on the Xperia Z's micro-SIM tray, inserted it and powered up the phone.

10 seconds later, BOOM! The 4G indicator icon lit up.

Another visit to a different Globe business center today confirmed that it might be a configuration glitch specific to my account and I'm not the only one having the same issue. They sort of promised that I will be contacted "soon" when they already have a fix to the problem.

So if you are a Globe postpaid subscriber and you have an LTE phone that can operate on LTE Band 3 (1800 MHz), you should be able to use their LTE facility. If not, it could be a SIM problem or a configuration problem (telco or your phone).
