Solved: 5G - Noob Question

SibTig · ‎30-09-2020

Quick question - pretty noob question i guess.

If i buy a 5G enabled phone is it necessary to have to make changes to my contract in order to be 'enabled' for 5G or do I need a new sim in order to actually get 5G?

Or is it a case of just buying 5G enabled phone (and being in a 5g supported area) and it just works?

You will need to swap to a 5g sim too, but it is free

Call in to any O2 store and they will help you with a new sim.
