You would think the phone would do it on its own, but it doesn't seem to. The default selection for preferred network type is 5G. The only other options are LTE and 3G. There is no way to leave that setting blank or automatic.
The Wi-Fi calling does generally work, but we've been experiencing a lot of power outages lately and I have to rely on cellular data.
the phone does it when you set it to automatic. but you haven’t set it to automatic, so it sees 4g and 3g and says “nope, my user would rather have no service than 4g or 3g service”.
you may want to get a UPS for your modem and wifi. a nice 1000watt UPS should give you a few hours of internet when the power goes out.
Again, there is no 'automatic' option. My only options are 5G, LTE, and 3G. It's also not possible to leave the setting unconfigured. The default is 5G.
I have my modem and WiFi on a 1500va backup, but we have had several extended outages recently.
maybe then you want to try manually falling back to LTE. from the docs:
Yeah, that's what I've been doing. It's annoying though because I have good 5G coverage in other parts of the city and I don't want to have to remember to switch back and forth manually 🤷🏼♂️
