it aint LTE
@Taleya
How isn’t it?
Ask your manufacturer.
Basically: if your phone is "4g" but you get told it's gonna get cut off when they tank the 3g network, then that most likely means the phone doesn't support Voice Over Long Term Evolution (volte) ...... it uses 3g for calls.
@Taleya
The Apple Store told me the telcos would be unlikely to upgrade 4g and would probably redeploy the 3G resources to 5G.
My phone does support VoLTE but the Optus infrastructure is crap. It used to drop to 3G calls but no longer. Now it just drops out completely.
I guess it doesn’t matter now because the telcos have realised half of rural Australia would be left with no service and that would be very bad.
I wouldn't listen to an apple store as to what telcos are doing.
3G hasn't closed down yet so your phone should still drop to 3G
@Taleya yeah it should. I have no idea why it stopped.
