iPhone 5: No Data While On Calls

[mton]

I got an iPhone5 about a month ago.  I noticed that when I'm talking on the phone, my data access disappears which disallow me to access the internet.  This happens especially if I'm on the LTE network.  Sequence of network status is: 

1.  before making the phone call:  LTE

2.  call starts:  3G

3.  time elapse during the call this could be between 10 seconds to 4 minutes:  <blank> ==> no internet access

4.  call ends:  3E

5.  couple of minutes later:  3G/LTE

This does not always happen if I start the call with 3G network; but unfortunately it does happen sometimes.

I've reported this to Rogers Tech Support.  Tried a slew of options including receiving a new phone.  They're still working on it... but I've read this is a problem in the US... only AT&T could support the ability to have data access while using the phone function... but I did find a post of a user having problems when on LTE network.

I'm curious to see if anyone had encountered this problem.

I have the same issue and was able to set the correct apn with a profile and can get 3G data while on a call with this site http://www.unlockit.co.nz/fw/ after a year of having this issue

Hello mton

LTE is only for data, its not for voice. So when you are on LTE & trying to call or on a call, LTE will come off & go on 3G ( on iPhone's. 4G on other phones). This is because like i said LTE is ONLY data, it does not support voice.

Actually i can use the phone going on the internet while on the phone. I can do this on my iPhone 5. S3 & BlackBerry Z10. Rogers does support it. It could be something wrong with the signal or the service you are on.

Thanks Meowmix... yes, I recognize that LTE is data... my experience is that I get NO data if I'm on the phone... this happens to me in multiple locations...

Hello mton


Hmm that seems to be a problem either with the phone pr the plan you are on. It should let you access the internet / get data.

Hello @Phi

Have you taken the device to a local Apple store and see a Apple rep to see if they can do?

Have you also gone into Settings - Cellular - Enable LTE - Voice and Data ( turned on).

If that doesn't help then visit the local Apple store and see what they can do. You can also visit Apple.ca and book a appointment with the genius bar rep at a time u prefer at the local u want.

Go into settings -> general -> reset ->network reset. 

and like MeowMix mentioned "Enable LTE: Voice & Data" should be enabled.
