Slicing lets network operators provide the right resources for certain kinds of demanding activities where a strong connection is critical. Right now, that means boosting performance for video calls, but in the future it could mean being able to prioritize the data needed to safely guide an autonomous vehicle through an intersection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The catch is that you need a standalone 5G network to pull this off, and much of the US\u2019 5G networks still operate on 4G cores. T-Mobile has been able to move quicker on this thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/7\/26\/6646158\/t-mobile-sprint-merger-justice-department-approves-26-billion-fcc\">its Sprint acquisition<\/a>, and it rolled out its first feature based on slicing this fall with a service that <a href=\"https:\/\/tmobile.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1011l44qEJ\/[p_id:1011l394533]\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.com%2Fnews%2Fbusiness%2Ft-priority-network-slice-for-first-responders\">gives priority to first responders<\/a>.

But you also need to be on Verizon\u2019s priciest plan, Unlimited Ultimate, which costs $90 per month for one line with autopay. And you\u2019ll need an iPhone 14 or newer running iOS 18.2. Samsung Galaxy S23 and newer and Pixel 9 phones will be compatible too, but support for Android video calling apps on Android is arriving in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the company\u2019s website, it delivers \u201coptimized video and sound quality on calling apps,\u201d even in times of congestion.
