Why can't we convert 5g cellular to 3g?
I am a layman by all standards in this area so please forgive how dumb I'm sure this question is. Why can't I buy like a box that takes a 5g sim have it take that data and transmit it to my old phone with a 3g signal? Of course I understand things like internet browsing wouldn't work but why couldn't it handle basic SMS and calls?
