I’ve noticed the addition of 5G to several plans. Will my current device support it?
To access 5G, you’ll need a 5G-compatible device. If you’re unsure about your device’s compatibility, you can check the device specifications or contact the manufacturer for assistance. You can visit our dedicated 5G mobile page for more information.
