Sim Card question

simpleman — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 21:00:26 GMT

Been with Public Mobile for about 6 years now. Yeah, it's an old sim card. 5G was unheard of back when I purchased this sim. If I move from my 4G plan to a 5G plan with Public Mobile (granted I need a 5G phone as well) do I need a new sim card or will in fact my present sim card allow me to access and take full advantage of the 5G data speed?

@simpleman No you don’t need a new sim card for 5G plan , your current SIM card will do the trick

SIM has nothing to do with speed (G). You can continue using existing one and switch to 4/5G at any time.

hi @simpleman the same sim card will work with 5G plan.

and you don't really need a 5G phone. The 5G plan is about speed. you can have a 5G plan ,access the 4G LTE network and get a speed promised on the 5G plan, like 200+ mbps

@simpleman

Just think of your old SIM as an account and everything is stored in the SIM.

If you change your plan (3G>4G>5G) it will change in your SIM.
