Hi, I have a 2022 iPhone SE which i am using in courtenay BC, recently I’ve purchased the 30g for $45 plan and i am so freakin’ annoyed to find out that somehow this plan I’ve just bought has data speeds/connectivity that are actually inferior to what I was getting on Chatr after using up all my Chatr data. Even at 2 bars it will usually either fail to load a screen or something else. Since I am a doordash driver i need a stable data connection, and so now I just want to know whether I am able to fix this or if I can get a refund
I'm an Android person but my first line of defence would be making sure to have the latest OS and app updates, do a device restart, if that doesn't help, a network reset ( you'll need to sign into saved WiFi networks again after this).
Edit #2: It might also be worth trying to force your phone to LTE instead of auto - as far as I can tell 5G can still be less consistent than 4G LTE, and, possibly, if your phone is often switching back and forth between the two depending on signal availability and strength, it might influence the loading of your app.
Adding: Rereading the title of your post... Your problem is with the Doordash app, yes? I don't see the connection to VoLTE?
In my experience, there are varying inconsistencies with all networks, depending on where you are in the Comox Valley... I used to live near Puntledge Park and Fido/Rogers data thoroughput was abysmal. Freedom was ok as long as I was in what they consider their home network, cross the road and they switch you to nationwide. While not personal experience, I have friends on Virgin/Bell in the Arden/Cumberland Rd area and they have gone back to having a landline since their iPhones are missing 9 out of 10 calls when at home. I recently moved out to Lazo, and PM/Telus is still the best of the bunch, although I hardly ever get full bars and it feels like I can tell when everyone gets off work at CFB Comox...
