That's coverage — rural areas away from Tier-1 5G/LTE cells may only offer 2G or 3G legacy service. Openline routes you to whatever the partner network offers, so if the partner has no 4G/5G presence, you'll drop to 2G.
What to do
- Move toward a town centre if possible.
- Manually pick a different partner network in Cellular Settings — one Tier-1 may have better rural coverage than another.
- Some countries (Turkey, Egypt, parts of Africa) have shut down 2G/3G entirely; if you're in one of those and Openline can't hold LTE, the local coverage genuinely doesn't reach you here.
