Calls dropping/call fail

In last few days I have been having trouble using the phone: call fail, calls are dropping mid call or people can’t hear me.  Located in PEI

The only options are LTE and 3G.  The phone seems to cycle through the two networks regardless of the setting.  Is there something else I need to do to keep it on one network or another?

I think I have a VoLTE compatible phone: iPhone SE iOS 16.5.1.  My only choices for cellular data are 3G or LTE.  Please advise.  Thanks

@Ajlm1 PM uses mainly 3G for voice.

If possible, try to change the network type to 3G for now and see if it helps.  If f so, use it for a week and change it back to LTE later

Some of this stuff is too technical for me.  I did reboot the phone already.  The network is LTE. Maybe I should change it to 3G but I was under the impression LTE was better.  Noidea how toreset allnetworks. I should not have towalk around lookingfor a signal. The phone has worked at homebefore. Everything else is not possible

@Ajlm1 

could be network issue, please try these 

  • first try to reboot the phone
  • If that does not work, change the Preferred network type or network mode to 3G only or WCDMA only and see if it works
  • Try to click Reset All Networks and see if it helps
  • and do you have another phone to test the PM sim ? just to make sure it is not a device problem.  Also, that can force a sim card re-provision and it could resolve the problem
  • Also, try the phone in another area if possible, it could be just a local network outage
  • You can also try to see if VoLTE works.  But first, what brand and model of phone you have?
    You can check the VoLTE compatibility here:  https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/volte
    If you have a compatible one try to turn on VoLTE

    iPhone: Likely no extra work need to do as Telus will enable by default but hide the option.  Still you can check
                     Settings->Cellular->Cellular Data Options->Voice & Data, enable 4G or LTE there
    Pixel Likely no extra work need to do as Telus will enable by default but hide the option.  Still you can check
                    Settings->Network and Internet->Internet, click on the settings icon besides SIM 1, turn on 4G calling there
    Samsung/ Other Android: Settings->Connection->Mobile Data, enable VoLTE there

    Now, turn off Wifi first. Check if the phone status bar showing it is connected to 4G or LTE

    Then make some calls, see if the signal indicator shows LTE or drop back to H or 3G while you are on the calls.  If it stays with LTE, then yes, you are using VoLTE, and you can see if calls are any better.
