Stand Alone 5G - iPhone 15 Pro Max

[garetc]

Anyone else on an iPhone 15 series who’ve updated to iOS 18 noticed that they have a toggle for Stand Alone in their network setting under Voice & Data?

Mine’s greyed out but wasn’t there before iOS was released at 18:00 today.

@garetc 

Yeah it was enabled by Carrier Profile 59.1 which didnt include RCS 😡

Once enabled you can go on a hunt. More chance of catching a mammoth though

I know where it is in Sheffield, but not that desperate to go into town lol, might try it at the weekend when we go to the cinema

I am not sure if this list is still up to date, but O2 5G Standalone was initially released in fourteen cities :-

Another pointless post, I think me @Enlli and @garetc are techy enough to know where 5G SA is as well as what is needed to use the service without a link to an article we all knew about...;

At least unlike EE all you need is a R15 SIM card and a compatible handset...

There’s a bit of SA on the East Lancs going towards Manchester.

Tested it on my S24U, performance is good, it’ll be great when they roll it out further.

Liverpool is one of them....a very small part of Liverpool I assure you 

[madasaf1sh]

There's quite a bit in Leeds, but that is not surprising as one of o2's main campus's is in Leeds, its the only reason to go to the office 🤣🤣 

Might have to have a trip to York or Lincoln as well....

Hi,

how did you enable Standalone? 

this is greyed out for me. 

I was on work O2 & sent me a new sim but not fixed it. 

5G standalone works with EE & VF. 

Thanks
