4G Calling

What is 4G Calling?

With 4G Calling you stay on the 4G network when you make a call. So any apps you’re using stay connected to our 4G data network instead of dropping back to 3G or 2G.

Plus with 4G Calling, you’ll experience faster call setup and better call quality wherever 4G is available.
