1. A computer-implemented method for providing transference of a user equipment to a 5G network when a voice call is terminated, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a mobility management entity, a voice call termination message from a serving gateway;
determining, by the mobility management entity, whether the user equipment includes a 5G subscription and 5G capability based on the voice call termination message; and
providing, by the mobility management entity, a handover message to the user equipment to initiate a handover to the 5G network based on the determining of whether the user equipment includes the 5G subscription and 5G capability.
