Enabling 4g on an old Sony Xperia L1

[GedM]

With 3g shutdown in mind EE recently texted me with 2 easy steps to switch to 4g.. Step one is to set Network Mode to 4g. Step two  is to switch on 4g Calling. I found the first one under Preferred Network Type (as there is no Network Mode option) but cannot find the second one. The terminology seems to be aimed at newer devices. I feel as though Ii have done half a job but don't know what to do next. Thank you..Ged.....

If the 4G-calling option cannot be located, your voice calls will fallback to 2G whilst data will be carried over 4G.

Thank you Maestro for the quick response.

@GedM  As that’s only a 2G/3G device, you will not find those settings on that device.  The device isn’t capable of 4G.

According to https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_l1-8619.php (GSM Arena is usually a reliable resource), the XPeria L1 supports 4G Bands 1, 3, 7 & 20 which are required for EE data use.

Without VoLTE however, Band 20 won't work.
