Could be.  But, I went to 4G a different way with my lucky  
account.  At the time, I was 3G, [don't remember the GB data  
quota] at $45mo.  But I just happend to notice that there was a  
4G setting that I was allowed to switch to, and it was only  
$40, so that's what I did.  I think it even offered more data.

Then, a little while later, there was a $29/mo option, for  
25GB.  So, I switched to that.

I use a ZTE MF279T that serves phone [thru my regular household  
wiring] and data via wifi.  The MF279T dates back to around  
2012, but it supports the minimum VoLTE/LTE that Lucky  
requires.

You can sometimes find these things for under $10 at  
thriftshops.
