Not getting H+ Speeds on 9900
In setting, I can see below options
3G/H+
2G
3G/H+ & 2G
I have selected first option. But I never get H+ speeds and always get 3G speeds.
What could be the problem
I have used my phone in different locations so far, but I have never seen H+ icon.
I'm from India and using Airtel BIS network

As far as I know from my own experience, 3G or H+ it depends from the carrier. I most cases, 3G=H+ only some carriers uses H+ and other uses 3G. So in my opinion you don't have to worry about it. Let's take my case as an example. On my Bold 9900 I have 3G signal, but when I put my simcard to the BlackBerry Z30 I have H+ signal. And it doesn't mean that my Bold is brocken.
Similar situation is in case of 4G and LTE. It should be the same, but some carriers calls their H+ as an 4G. This is stupid marketing idea.

Thanks, how can I confirm if I'm getting h+ speeds?
Is there any app using that I can test speeds? Any way? I feel I'm not getting h+ speeds

Maybe you should compare frequencies your Bold 9900 with frequencies of you Carrier. I mean, you know from other thread based on USA as an example that there might be different versions of Bold, for example, again USA - for T-Mobile 9900 won't get 3G on AT&T and the same for AT&T Bold 9900 won't get 3G at T-mobile.
Check it. I hope so, that I wrote it quite clear. :) as I'm not an English Guy. :D

I'm on Mobile Network Preferred setting and "H+,3G and 2G and I always have the H+ symbol. I guess I am lucky with Rogers.
But this is odd, I went to check these settings and under Mobile Network is says "BELL." My sim is not in the 9900 right now but this is a Rogers phone originally so no idea why it says Bell :p
