For any Canadian users who believe this would be useful, consider filing a concern with Rogers to persuade the Rogers management team to white-list the Librem 5 to use the VoLTE network. The 3G networks relied upon as an alternative to VoLTE for calls will be disabled this Summer.
@JCS If Purism has the resources to reach out to Rogers to encourage this effort, I think that would also be a worthwhile pursuit.
As Librem 5 is unique(DO NOT EXIST OTHER AT LIBREM 5 LEVEL), i dont think that is fine to say that v.o.l.t.e do not work on Librem 5 but on Modem. in fact Librem 5 may ever v.o.l.t.e work with Rogers even better v.o.n.r too, but it needed Purism Power.
Sadly i stoped troublesooting Librem 5 from 2020, as i get so obsessed with knowing and understanding autoimmune diseases and why we ages.
It may be that Broadmobi is the one who will have to contact Rogers to arrange VoLTE certification/authorization. (And, good luck with that, I guess.)
Citation needed.
3G - Wikipedia supports the claim and there are plenty of actual citations that you can follow from there.
I see, Freedom Mobile will also be affected at the same time:
Other Canadian telemcommunication carriers will shutdown 3G at the end of this year instead.
IMO, it’s another opportunity to force some customers to leash a new cell that is compatible to what the telcoms want you have. By the way, the telcoms leash out cells that are compatible with what they want.
In two - three years they’ll shut down 4g. I wonder, what will L5 need to stay in the game?
Just a thought,

A 5G-compatible modem.
Isn’t the L5 a 3 - 5g compatible modem?

I can confirm from our own internal discussions with Rogers that the clock is ticking, not sure about this summer, but I would hazard that by this time next year HSPA will be going away and only VoLTE/LTE will be available. This is from a project manager in our company.
So when 5G shows up on mine, it’s a lie, looks kewl, a error or is a conspiracy 
to sell phones?
Frankly I don’t care. It works. I simply followed the advice when setting it up. I don’t make calls on it until I can rid of screeching and squawking - later.
TGIF and the weekend is here,

Sometimes this is user confusion between mobile communication and WiFi.
Mobile communication … 3G, 4G, 5G, … (G means generation)
WiFi frequency bands … 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, … (G means giga, and sometimes the “Hz” is omitted)
… and to be clear, the actual frequencies that mobile communication currently uses for e.g. 4G and 5G are all over the spectrum, some lower than 2.4 GHz and some higher.
Otherwise
If 5G is showing up on your Librem 5 for mobile communication then it must be some sort of error (bug) but it would, I guess, also “look kewl”. Not a lie and not a conspiracy though.
