Does your carrier have carrier aggregation?

I believe what you're seeing is a signal to pick up HD voice calling. On the U.S networks its seen as VoLTE. Personally I disabled this feature due to battery drain and dropped calls.

I think the response about "carrier aggregation" is on the right track. LTE is the latest technology and can do voice and data simultaneously and has high data speeds. But traffic is limited to one "band" that the phone and carrier supports. LTE+ I think allows the carrier to combine (i.e. aggregate) more than one band to increase the data you can receive. My BlackBerry Priv on Bell shows LTE+, while my wife's Priv on Rogers only shows LTE. So technically I should get more data throughput.

That still might not be true since if her LTE single "band" is broader than the combined narrow bands on my phone, she might still get more data.

Basically, LTE+ is a good thing to see on your phone.

Best explanation! Thank you!
