S21 Ultra 5G (T-Mobile) mobile voice network type NR SA

[JMi115]

 

I bought the s21 Ultra through tmobile and used a new sim card they gave me but the phone came with a sim card. The issue that I'm having is my phone is on 5G all the time it literally never drops 5G until I make a phone call. Soon as I make a phone call it drops down to 4GLTE and my mobile voice network type drops from NR SA which I believe is (New Radio Stand Alone 5G if I'm not mistaken. My phone is always on 5G, 100% of the time until I make any call and my mobile voice network type is always on NR SA as well right up until I make any phone call. Could this be SIM card related perhaps? I still have the SIM that came new in the box with the s21 Ultra. Only reason they put a different SIM in my phone is because I had just gotten a new tmobile SIM card a week prior. They both say R15 on them, but the design on them are slightly different. How can I tell if this is affecting my VOLTE? I'm considering going back up to a tmobile store to register the SIM that came with the phone but I don't wanna waste my time if it's not the issue. They take hours in these stores to do anything and they try to charge me for every little thing.

Thank you for reaching out. I certainly understand your concern about your device changing to 4G LTE while on a call. As it's a carrier network you are experiencing these symptoms with, I would recommend reaching out to your carrier for further assistance.
