After confirming that your device* and eSIM support a 5G network, you should be able to connect with a much higher data speed. If you don't see 5G indicated in your iPhone's status bar, please follow the steps below:
- Ensure that you're in an area with 5G coverage.
- Go to Settings > Cellular/Mobile > TAP the preferred SIM > Cellular/Mobile Data Options. If Voice & Data has 5G On, your device has 5G activated. If 5G is not an option, the eSIM does not support 5G.
- If your device has 5G activated, turn on Airplane Mode, then turn it off to reconnect to a 5G network.
If you still don't have a 5G connection, please contact us on our support channels for further assistance. *Only iPhone 12 models or later work with the 5G cellular or mobile networks. *An area with 5G coverage is required to connect to a 5G network. Being too far away may cause speeds to slow down or drop to a 4G or LTE connection.
