LTE only means your phone only uses LTE network. Pakistani networks don't support LTE calls(VoLTE). As for the slow call speed that's your phone switching to GSM. My Z2 takes around a sec max which is about normal . So if its slower than this it may be software related.

AS stated by criticalerror, you cannot make calls on LTE. For that, VoLTE is required which is not launched in Pak. Call connecting duration is software issue, which rom r u using?

Its about a sec in gsm/lte mode. Also while receiving calls it takes 2 sec to connect on callers end. But this is testing sim I got just to check lte.

I am using stock s5 active lollipop. But I am happy that lte working on at&t mobile. And perfectly on Korean L phone that was believed not to work. But zong didnt work on lte I am in Islamabad so signal cant be a problem. Warid lte is superb.

I am not sure about AT&T bur L versions of Korean support 4g from LG G2 onwards. (Older L versions don't have 1800 band).

Can you make a simple phone call and sms from your warid sim while browsing or downloading on warid 4g?

Yes only if set to gsm/lte or global/lte option. It switches to edge and then to lte while making calls or sms. Takes 2 sec inbetween

Only for calls, not SMS. SMS are sent over LTE.

I would second what [MENTION=11094]StrikerX[/MENTION] has stated. Text messages get sent over LTE. For calls, it takes about a sec to switch back and forth.

Who need calls after these speeds :p




[MENTION=54682]gamer11[/MENTION] bro if you select lte only option it wont so its better to select gsm/lte or gsm/lte/wcdma option. I am using warid since 2 days and it switches to gsm only while receiving calls. Rest its lte always

How is the voice call quality of warid and text service any delay in sms? Does calls drop? And the signals remain stable like mobilink signals?

I'm actually thinking to get Warid so have no idea abt this network quality and service.

Apart from MAYBElink, I've used all Pakistani networks and I'll have to admit it that call quality is best on Warid. Even text messages get sent instantly. And, yes! Signals are damn stable.

Yes but mmi codes dosnt work either I didnt send any sms [emoji14]
It'll switch to 2g when u run a mmi code because then it actually dials a number and then initiates the mmi command, so yeah, that's why u need to have gsm/lte option selected to run mmi codes. But texts are smooth over lte.
