@b1963 : 5G has already come long time but if his phone is not capable of 5G (or even 4G) he can still make calls & send texts with it.

The 5G network has been being built out for many years now, but there's nothing inherently wrong with 4G!
It sounds like your partner may have a 3G phone which, with 3G now switched-off nationally, will be using 2G for calls & texts permanently.
