HI @bogag517 no 5G for PM. If you need it, you will have to check out Koodo or Telus

for PM, we are still relying on 3G for voice and they just start promoting 4G data.

3G won't go away at least until end of 2025. I think we probably need to wait till the "death" of 3G before we will see 5G here. 😞

For Pm, you are joining for the price, not for the high speed

Chances are that it might roll out in 2025 when 3G is discontinued and replaced by 5G. So it will be 4G/LTE and 5G.

That is when people with old 3G phones will need to upgrade to a new phone.
