iPhone5 from other provider - will it work properly on Vodacom?

[M@tthew]

Picked up an iPhone 5 from CellC on another contract. I chucked in a Vodacom nano sim and it seems to be working 100%, 3G is also working great. Was wondering, is LTE going to work 100% (when it does get released?) Is there any difference between the devices from the different carriers? Or are the iPhone 5's from the different SA carriers all the same?

Cell C intends to launch LTE on 2100 while Vodacom and MTN launched on 1800, so best to check if your iPhone model supports the correct frequencies on LTE.

Same model iPhone brought in by all the different mobile providers so won't have any issues!
