VoLTE stands for Voice over LTE. It allows you to make voice calls over the 4G network, providing better call quality and faster connection times.
3G networks are being phased out to make way for faster and more efficient 4G and 5G technologies. This allows mobile operators to improve their network performance and offer better services.
If your phone is not VoLTE compatible, you will not be able to make or receive calls once the 3G network is shut down. You may still be able to use data services if your phone supports 4G data. You will need to upgrade to a VoLTE-capable device to continue making calls.
The method for finding your phone's model number varies depending on the device:
Android: Usually found in Settings > About Phone > Model Number.
iPhone: Usually found in Settings > General > About > Model Name. You can also find the Model Number, which you can then look up online.
