What’s going on with that?

When you make a phone call, the antenna’s are used 100% for calling and using data is disabled (or at least, it used to be). Android might thus “pretend” that it is still connected.
That used to be the case with 3G and “3.5G”, but with 4G and 5G calls are done over data (VoLTE).

Ooh, how long till some manufacturer makes the old blackberry mistake? You used to be able to call 911 and hang up to unlock the phone
Sounds like it’s just switching the call to the cellular network. But I could be wrong.
It’s miles away from my home so that’s got to be it but cellular is turned off. I guess it doesn’t do anything unless it’s in airplane mode…?
Well the cellular network has voice over LTE or voice over NR, whether the data side is turned on or not. So unless it’s an airplane mode with Wi-Fi turned on and you go out of range of the Wi-Fi, it should just switch it from the Wi-Fi over to the cellular network.
Probably just swapping over to the cell network to continue the call.
While VoLTE is using data, it’s not part of the normal data service your phone uses for the internet, so turning off data likely doesn’t affect it.
I think you will find that VoLTE is neither wifi nor data. It’s a LTE voice connection. A VoWifi will fallback to it.
Does that also work for people who never had data service and is a wi-fi only phone for calling, no cell/mobile service?

I know the SIM gets some information when the phine is turned on. I have never had data service on phone before, and I gave up cell service entirely awhile ago, so I was wonding how the iPhone could stay connected for service that has never existed or been used on phone.
