Ask your carrier. They will have the authoritative answer. After all, it's their network.

Ah your’re using for internet. That‘s a different animal? I just use wifi at home. Honestly I’m out in the sticks so even my 4G coverage is pretty bad

The V40 doesn't support 5G, so I'd be surprised if your V20 would.

Most carriers are killing off old tower technology, which means anything V40 and older from LG. This will effect prepaid services too. I doubt AT&T will help with this.

You should have some options in your phone to limit it from what types of connections it can connect to. For me, it's in Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Advanced > Preferred Network Type
