The PM 3G plan runs on the 3G AND LTE networks. You do not need to change anything if all services function.

@swizzlerz Welcome to Public Mobile.

I would say let the phone select the type of network. But this might drain your battery if you constantly move to and from areas where LTE network is weak. I suggest to test for a few days with LTE/3g network only, and then 3G network only. Depending on that, use the appropriate settings.

@swizzlerz

Configure your phone to auto/3G/LTE or 4G and let your phone to switch to the best signal.

During a voice call, your phone will be switched to 3G and back to LTE while browsing. You can configure your phone to do 3G only. But not LTE only as you will be disable the voice call without the 3G.
