It's my understanding that if you came from GSM, you don't need LTE to do both voice and data simultaneously. This was a CDMA restriction which you don't have as you move to LTE.

The second item most likely sounds like this "Cellular Data Options, Roaming Off, button" Whenever Voiceover says "Button" at the end it indicates that this is not a simple on/off switch but that more options are contained in the item. Here if you double tap you get the following: Data Roaming, off - double tap this to turn data roaming on Voice and Data, LTE button - this is another submenu so to speak, double tap it and you have the option to double tap on "3G" this would select it and if you then go back you would hear "Voice and Data, 3G button" The next and last item in the main Cellular Data Options list is Low Data Mode which again is a simple on/off toggle and if you swipe right from it you hear the explanation about how it helps to conserve data usage, but if you do turn it on things like automatic updates and certain background tasks like photo syncing are paused and will only resume when the phone connects to WiFi. Ii have low data mode turned off because I am on WiFi a lot anyways and if I am not I do have 9 Gb of data eachmonth which is plenty not to have to worry about this and I'd rather my photos upload to iCloud, for example what if I took some pictures and then the phone was destroyed or stolen shortly after, my pictures in this case would still be on iCloud or what if my phone was stolen and as it has happened before the thief was a bit uneducated when it comes to technology and happily took some selfies which then would upload to iCloud and would be accessible for me to share with the police.

If you plan to have internet connectivity when not on Wi-Fi, you have to have cellular data turned on. Your phone will take whichever signal is stronger. Some phone services allow wi-fi calling too. So, if you are at home with a solid Wi-Fi connection, your phone won't use cellular data when surfing the internet, getting email, streaming audio or video, etc. If you are in your backyard, and your Wi-Fi signal gets weak, but you have cellular on with a good signal, it will switch to using cellular data. Which of course, uses data, but not necessarily more battery. The switching back and forth uses more battery. So, if you know you have good Wi-Fi, by all means, turn off cellular data so the phone isn't seeking the best connection and that will save battery because it isn't looking for the strongest signal. But, as soon as you get out of wi-fi range, your streaming/phone call/ etc., will stop. I am more picky about this so I go into the Cellular settings and turn it off for all the apps I don't want eating my limited cellular data without my knowledge. That way I don't have to remember to turn on cellular data when we go somewhere and want to use GPS, etc. HTH, Richard "Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it." - Jane Wagner My Web site: https://www.turner42.com<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turner42.com%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C371a77269fe54f3accaf08d9724b3005%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637666489518159992%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=bayoYMWgvg9%2F7PJYLag3Ctbpf7j7ua709AgQP%2FzA8aI%3D&reserved=0> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On Behalf Of Casey Wollner Sent: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 2:25 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: A question about LTE on our iPhones Hi I know it maybe personal choice.
