Strictly a guess, it may affect you’re ability to recieve calls on other devices connected to your account; if turned off.
It allows the Phone app to use cellular data but most like Phone doesn’t use cellular data... if it does, you should be able to see how much data it has used up over a period.
The topmost toggle, Cellular Data, controls the LTE modem for sending and receiving data for the apps on your phone. Sending and receiving data is different from making voice phone calls.
Cellular, wondering weather having phone toggle on or off is better using data.
VPN works regardless, but does it affect privacy/protection?
Settings>Cellular>Phone
Unless you have something like a WiFi connection turning off cellular data would leave you without a data connection to use the VPN with.
What about this? What does it do and if turned on or off does it tie up with the VPN connection?
That would affect any data that the Phone app itself might use let's say for visual voicemail or something of that sort. VPN won't be affected by that.
