5G on PAYG?

[Southsider46]

Last month I started a  topic titled "Why is 5G not available on PAYG?"

Unfortunately, the forum trolls and know alls hi-jacked it, and it was locked.

Today, 1st July, I noticed that my phone is now showing that I'm getting 5G on my PAYG phone.

I've opened this thread to inform anyone who is interested, that 5G is now available on PAYG.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the tag @Enlli 

Just to clear any confusion, we are currently enhancing our Pay & Go connectivity during the 2nd half of this year and customers will start to receive 5G services as their Pay & Go Bundle allowances refresh.

If you're not currently on a Bundled product you will recieve 5G service over the coming months.

Our online pages/FAQs will be updated to reflect this in due course.

As somewhat expected, VMO2 have confirmed to ISPreview that the 5G roll-out on PAYG doesn’t currently extend to include 5GSA.

I didn't have a "5G" sim, the sim that was in my phone on 1st July when it started getting 5G, was the same one that has been in it since the beginning of time.

We are dealing with 5G NSA here @Southsider46 ; the 5G SIM is for 5G SA which is not yet available on PAYG. 👍

I beg your pardon, I started this thread to inform people that 5G was now available on PAYG. 

If you have anything of value to add, please do, but keep on topic, there's a good man.

Did you read my opening comment about trolls and know alls?
