Is there any way to turn off 5g

Is there any way to turn off 5g because the only time my phone doesn’t work is when it’s connected to this stupid network.

In settings choose Cellular > Cellular Data options > Voice and Data. There you can switch to LTE. 5 G coverage is still pretty spotty.

Until now we had no cell phone coverage on the road we often travel to my mountain hometown. I just read that they are finally erecting towers along that route, not sure whether LTE or 5G. People are objecting to the appearance of towers, but for those needing assistance, it will be a great help. The night that the elk ran into us, we had no cell phone coverage so we couldn't even notify the Animal Control officers to search for an injured animal. And we were a menace to other drivers with our smashed windshield!

I live in Arizona. There are inner-city parks with spotty coverage in the deepest parts and popular national monuments with as little as 5% cell phone coverage.


I can cut people slack when they live in crowded/flat states and are staggered when told about "no coverage".


At least in the city areas they put fake palm-leaves on the cell towers so at a glance they look like trees.
