How to enable carrier aggregation on iPhone 11 in Mumbai?

Hello everyone, can anyone tell me how do I enable carrier aggregation on iPhone 11 on Vi/Airtel/Jio prepaid sim in Mumbai?

For iPhone's you cannot enable CA or band lock from your side. If Vi/Airtel/Jio tower supports CA then your phone gets it automatically from tower.
For some Vi sims I have observed that if you are using very old sims (idea or Vodafone) then CA don't work, so then replace it with new Vi sim this may resolve the issue for CA.

Thanks a lot for your reply, Devang. Can you tell me how do I check if CA is enabled for me? I get 2-3 Mbps speeds on Vi in Mumbai during the day. Is this normal?

For iPhones you can use (star3001#12345#star) this code (type this code in phone app where you enter number to call and then press call button) to access Field Test Mode. Inside this you can find CA status.

CA status This is what I can see in the CA status section in the Field Test Mode. Can you help me understand what it says?

By looking at it I guess its CA (band 1+3), but still not sure cause I don't use know much technical definition of all the terms given in it.

Edited: Btw which carrier are you using and how much speed do you get?
