    VoIP over LTE. Airmobile and Telkom LTE

    Does VoIP work over Telkom LTE and afrihost Airmobile networks? Meaning do they block VoIP traffic etc…. Sometimes fibre fails and would like to setup a failover with either of the above-mentioned in a 4g device. Would there be a need to change any APN settings?
