I signed into my account,then clicked the link"can I get 5g" Which shows 2,3,4 and 5g available.I then scrolled down to the coverage checker, which took me to the signal strength checker and that shows 2,3 and 4g only,as you mentioned. Piece of cake if you know what to do

Re: 5g question

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G at launch as it was the exact same price as the 4G version.


Even though I have no 5G in my area it will one day arrive and even then I can sell the phone as a 5G model for a better price than the 4G version.

Re: 5g question

There is a notice on a light near me that says they are putting in a telecoms mast, so hopefully I can get a 4G connection.

I have since phoned CS, but sorry to say, I found it hard to understand what she was saying. The funny thing is when I check using my postcode it says 5G is available, but the list of all the cities and towns that can get it does not mention my home town, Blackburn.
Sounds like the sim might need replacing. I know that when I upgraded to my current iPhone 12 recently, Three sent me a new sim. I have only been a 3 customer a couple of years, so I was surprised my old sim wasn't compatible.

Re: 5g question

All SIMs Virgin Mobile customers are currently on are compatible with the Vodafone radio network which allows for the 5G service.

The switchover needs to happen at Virgin Media's end.

Re: 5g question

I have the ultimate oompth bundle and just contacted mobile support asking the same question. My phone is a OnePlus 9 and this is the answer they gave when asking why I can't get 5g when it's supported in my town:

"Thank you very much, Apologies, the 5G network for Virgin only works on the following phone:

Apple: iPhone 11, iPhone 12
Samsung: Galaxy A42 5G, S21 5G, A32 5G, and A52 5G
Sony: Sony Xperia 5 II 5G
Oppo: Fine X3 5G"
