@Betaboy_79 , the nameplate on a plan reflects the speed throttling applied to the plan.  Otherwise all plans give customers access to the 5G/4G/3G networks.  Even with a 4G connection on the iPhone SE 2nd ed you should be able leverage most if not all the speed capabilities offered in a 5G plan.  One other thing you should be mindful of is VoLTE which is an essential consideration if you happen to roam in the US.  This is the official help article covering VoLTE and the devices enabled on this service.

HI @Betaboy_79  Yes, it will work

you will be using 4G network and can take advantage for the higher speed limit and more data offered on the 5G plans

No it doesn't support 5g

HI @Betaboy_79 

and even your iPhone SE 2nd Gen does not have 5G, but it can use the 4G networks and speed can  as much as 200Mbps still, more than the speed offered on 4G plans

HI @Betaboy_79 

Any phones, even non-5G phones, can use the 5G plans.  The 5G plans are more for the extra data.

All phones on any plans can access PM's 3G  or 4G or 5G network, just the speed will be different accordingly

So, your iPhone SE 2nd Gen will work on 5G plan here
