Samsung S9 - What does crossed H icon means?

[Android Central Question]

Hello everyone! I recently got my Samsung Galaxy S9 and as soon as I started using it, I noticed leeter H crossed icon in my status. Does anyone know what is it and how to use it?

I noticed also that I can't see the message chat settings. I guess it is also carrier problem.

Yeah OP getting H or H+ is service indicator, like you would see 4g or 4glte the bars will always remain there
Wifi is there next to it

On my S9, or any phone I've ever had, the cell network goes away completely when connected to Wi-Fi. I still get cell signal strength, but not the type anymore.

Yep. Fake 5G and all.

Didn't know other carriers treat that differently.
