Voice and Data option missing from Cellular Data settings: iPhone 12/13 ?

 

 

Many iPhone 12,13 Pro max, X,7 plus users are facing issue with changing mobile data setting in the iPhone. In the iPhone there is no  option to switch between LTE and 4g. To switch to LTE there are no longer option under Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options for Voice & Data.


LTE option missing from iPhone : AT&T,Verizon



In many cases the iPhone users are seeing 5Ge option but not the LTE service option. Many iPhone users are linking this issue with the iOS but actually this issue is linked to the network provider and the plan you are using to use mobile data.


 

Why there are no LTE option in iPhone settings : iOS 15.1

 

In the new 5G networks the 5Ge is LTE. It’s like an LTE plus. When you had the menu “Voice & Data” it gave you the option to choose LTE or 4G. The 4G wasn’t really 4G, it was like a 3G plus. They are shutting down the 3G network so they took that choice away. Now you only have LTE. When it says 5Ge, that just means you are connecting to a stronger LTE, like an LTE  plus.

 

Fix: Check with Network carrier provider


Many ceulluar sevice provider like At&t and Verizon are in process of shutting down the 3G network and due to this if you have not updated your plan to 5G you may not see option to switch voice and data. Check with network carrier provider for chanding your plan to 5G and after that you should see the mobile data settings.
