Using 5G plan on 4g phone

GlennRW

I want to move my wife’s phone over to public mobile.  Her phone is only 4g, and I want to get her a Canadian-US plan.  They only come with 5g.  I assume that her 4g phone will work OK on this.  Can anyone confirm?

@GlennRW  Yes and you can still bet better speeds then 4G plan with 4G phone on 5G plan.  But when jn the U.S. if wife’s phone is.not on  the PM voLTE whitelist making calls will be difficult and she will have to rely on 2G and connect to T mobile for voice or use text now app or what’s app for voice but text and data will fine 

VoLTE white list

hi @GlennRW 

yes, it will work without problem

5G plan is just about speed, you can get up to 250Mpbs with the plan.

with a 4G phone, you can connect to 4G network and still get the same top speed at 250Mpbs. 

So, no problem to change to the Canada-US plan that you want
