If anyone has trouble downloading the MP3 files on the computer, if you are running iOS 13.X, you can also download in Safari.

I'm catching up on my mail and found this message. I experience this issue whenever I get a new phone, or occasionally after an iOS update.

If you mean 5G, then no. There has been lots of rumors that the 2020 iPhones will be able to access 5G, but nothing official announced from Apple.

There is a way to filter messages between those from contacts and those which are spam. I have this turned on, and in theory, it should send those dreaded spam messages into a separate list.
