Mobile Data Option disappeared from Iphone mini 12



Hello,


I have an iPhone 12 mini iOS 15.6, and it has disappeared the "Mobile Data Option". 

I want to use 4g instead of 5g as it drains my battery.

I have a second e-sim line apart from my Primary.

Could anyone help with that?

The options are chosen by your carrier, who sends a “carrier settings” file to your phone periodically. Depending on who your carrier is, there may not be a “4G” network available; Specifically in the US, AT&T and T-Mobile called their 3G HSPA (sort of “3 1/2”) 4G for marketing reasons. AT&T shut down their “3 1/2G” network in March, and T-Mobile this month. You should still have a choice between LTE and 5G, or more commonly a setting for “best network”.
