The 5gUC "upgrade" bricks my iPhone 12 Pro
T-mobile just "upgraded" towers in my area to carry signals as 5gUC but whenever my phone switches from 5g to 5gUC, the data gets bricked. My family has four T-mobile iPhones, from the 12 Pro through...
5G UC is meant mostly for very high speed data when stationary and within meters of where the signal is coming from. This is why it is perfect for places like stadiums. There could be a few reasons causing the issues, the first of which might and more probably be distance. The weaker the signal, the less chance of UC being usable. Apps, texting, and data not working is solely based on the way iMessage works. It requires data to work. No data makes iMessage pretty useless. With more US sites being rolled out. It is possible that the site you are connecting to isn't fully deployed yet. If your device keeps connecting to it automatically, you could turn off 5G temporarily to put it back on 4G LTE to restore your data.
