Phone cannot connect to 4g after 3g switch off

I got a samsung j3 2016 which can’t connect to LTE. I read that this phone can’t connect anymore to 4g (only 2g) after the provider (TIM from Italy) removed 3g antennas. It’s like the phone is not in the provider whitelist (first time I hear about it). Is it legal? Is it possible to bypass the block without going root or lineages? I don’t like to spend money on dumb phones.

I have to test but I bet with other operators it would stay 4g until you receive or do a phone call. That’s how it works a 4g huawei I got. It takes some time to switch between 4g and 2g but it works

That phone supports LTE but not VoLTE. That means it was 3G only for calls, therefore now without 3G its only means of receiving calls and texts is to fall back to 2G.

There’s nothing that can be done apart putting the 3G towers back.

The second next option is to force it to LTE, where you’ll get only a data connection and you can use VoIP calling apps to make and receive calls and texts.
