Will switching to LTE from 5G improve voice call connections?

I just got a Galaxy Fold 2 and the quality of my voice connections (dropped calls, can't hear me, etc.) has dropped noticeably from the S10+ it replaced. Will forcing an LTE connection help? I think "no" because that's really a "data thing" not a "voice call" thing?

I opened a ticket with support and am getting a Network Extender sent to me. But as an FYI I have found that switching to LTE seems to increase the signal slightly. -115 dBm to -112 dBm right now. But the number does change frequently so it's unclear if it helps.

Refreshing the connection did not help this issue.
