If I change to a 5g sim card but do not have 5g coverage in my area would it still work, or am I better off sticking with my original sim card (4g)

A 5G sim card will work fine with only 4G coverage

If you travel between 4/5G Zones then it makes sense to change as long as you have a 5G phone

However it's advisable if you do decide to change the sim to take photo ID instore to allow them to do it all for you

Yes it will still work even where no 5G coverage exists, if you don’t need to swap stay as you are

Hi, the only reason I was going to swap is because the sim only 5g data is alot cheaper and has more data included
