   Uhhh? My phone was set to 5G only and couldn't do or receive calls as a result.

   Is 5G "Data Only"? No voice calls possible?

     @uvok that depends on a lot of things. In this day and age with VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling it shouldn’t be. In lots of (most?) places 5G isn’t proper standalone 5G and actually uses the LTE packet core anyway (5G-NSA) so “5G Only” is a tough ask.

     Maybe your phone couldn’t find a suitable cell to register on given the restriction of 5G only and that’s why you couldn’t make any calls?

     @ret phone showed data reception anyway. Maybe my provider doesn't support VoLTE, I can imagine.
