GrapheneOS supports LTE-only mode for that purpose: https://grapheneos.org/usage#lte-only-mode https://grapheneos.org/usage#lte-only-mode
> This feature is not intended to improve the confidentiality of traditional calls and texts, but it might somewhat raise the bar for some forms of interception. It's not a substitute for end-to-end encrypted calls / texts or even transport layer encryption. LTE does provide basic network authentication / encryption, but it's for the network itself. The intention of the LTE-only feature is only hardening against remote exploitation by disabling an enormous amount of both legacy code (2G, 3G) and bleeding edge code (5G).
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoLineageOS on my Samsung Galaxy S5 also has a setting for which network modes to use. Oddly enough, since the 3G shutdown, I have to set it to LTE-only to get service. Auto 3G/LTE results in no service.
- handedness 3y agoVery odd. I wonder what could account for that. Some kind of legacy 3G initial handshake that particular modem needs before it negotiates an LTE connection? I am completely making that up, but something along those lines.
