It's not a matter of "allowing" - the technology - CDMA - doesn't support it.  GSM based phones should work fine with GSM based carriers.
no phones do this.. two different technologies in one box
On my iPhone, I can be on a call, go to a Web Browser or other application and get information. It is not convenient but it works for me.
I read it as talk on both cellular network and internet at the same time, on most iphones and android phones you can use both internet and phone at the same time.. On most carriers you can do this. T-Mobile and ATT Verizon should allow both.. any GSM carrier normally does.  Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular use CDMA
I have talked to Green P on the phone and signed up on their web site at the same time.

Your android must have a menu button. I do not even go on hold on my iPhone. I press the menu button and get a web browser. I am sure your phone has a menu button to switch apps.
What version of Android does your phone have?   I know on my phone LG G6 Android 8.1 Oreo the phone will minimize to the top of the screen with a counter, if a text message comes in I can see a few lines in the notification area.  I've been on the phone talking, received sms text and entered it in an app all at the same time

Using both phone and internet at the same time.
What is your cell phone plan?


I cant even send mms picture when on phone
my LG G4 Android 6 I also had no problem using data and phone at the same time.
You may need to back up your phone and then restore to factory specifications and set it up again.
