        Hi @ubuntutouchluvr

        The Nexus4 does not have 4G capabilities.
        The modem is GSM/HSPA which is 3.5G or something like this...

        I'm sorry but this is not a software limitation but a hardware issue. The modem needs to be 4G compatible.
        4G LTE is enabled by default in Ubuntu Touch but it works only if there is a 4G modem :man_shrugging:

          @ubuntutouchluvr You cannot enable 4G on the device as the hardware doesn't support it. It is 2G/3G only. The work round that is coming or already here is SIP over Wi-Fi. I see you are using AT&T which means you are in the US and providers are rapidly switching off 2G and 3G.

          I have too many devices...

            @MrT10001,

            How do I enable that SIP workaround? That sounds interesting, and I’d like to try that before I spring for a better phone.

            And thanks for the replies, guys šŸ™‚

              I think i can use Skype on my Nexus 4 phone without having to need 4G VoLTE.

                You don't need VoLTE to use skype, only 2/3/4G data. 4G data ("LTE") is marked "L" on UT phones when running.

                  @keneda Thanks for the info, keneda. I tried a Skype app on UT, but it doesn't seem to work all that well on my phone, the signal is too weak. They keep saying, Try again later.
                  I bought a T-Mobile sim card kit from Tracfone, hopefully i can make calls with that (if the sim card is compatible with the Nexus 4).

                    Maybe also because this is a webapp and wasn't updated since 2019...

                      @ubuntutouchluvr You could try making your own webapp using Webber https://open-store.io/app/webber.timsueberkrueb and give it a try.

                            @ubuntutouchluvr Have a look at Webber it is very straight forward even I can do it. It is not like creating a full app from scratch at all.
