Yes, VoLTE (Voice over LTE) works even if mobile data is turned off. VoLTE allows voice calls to be made over the LTE network, which means you can still make and receive high-quality calls without needing to turn on your mobile data
Our mobile network is evolving.

I’ve tested this today and it does infact work, shows lte on phone when on call, data not working but that is intended as there is no active data plan currently

I have a Samsung A52 5G (model SM-A526W) and my wife a Motorola Stylus 5G, and both work VoLTE perfectly in north-eastern USA, and south eastern Florida.

Yes also in Canada since 3g will be removed in 2025.

finally, it was about time haha

Yes haha The main fizz roaming partner will start removing it next summer. I juste hope fizz will add more supported phone by then. Cause it mean some people will lose the ability to call even with phones that are 1 years old like One+ phones by exemple.

2G GSM is still around in Quebec !

oof… that's sad

They should probably get a ride it. Im pretty sure barely anyone use it.

I just tried 2G at home in Quebec and phone calls work! If you are in Florida, and your phone is not VoLTE compliant, the only way you can make a phone call is thru 2G GSM (very limited coverage).
Attached pictures show 2G frequency band #8 in network mode 2G GSM FizzExt.

If you talk about calls no it wont consume data.

@ Oli 64JKA...
2G coverage can be 20 or 30 km, whereas 4G
or 5G coverage is usually less than 5km. 2G can still be useful for emergency calls.
2 -
Dam 20 to 30km that's realy far! Yes I agree it can still be usefull.
1 -
for emergencies, that's a good thing
