For those of you who want to use it with more modern apps -> Lineage OS 18.1 (based on Android 11) obviously can be brought to work on a Lumia 950. -> https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-lineageos-18-1-for-lumia-950-talkman.4689984/ :)

It can use 4G, if the provider offers that. Maybe you can opt in to use only 4G with your provider? Some can do so.

2025 mine has worked "well" until now, but shutting down 2g and 3g has made it into a pocketable camera and music player with wifi. Some say it can do Voice over LTE as it has LTE and 4g but evidently my provider uses 5g, so that's it...
