Plan change

[Bruins77]

I’m going to change plan from 3 g to 4 or 5 g    Do I need to change SIM card ?

So there isn't any confusion, any plan you have with Public has access to the full network, 3G, 4G/LTE and 5G. The differences in plans is only the speed limit applied to the account. Changing from a 3G to 4G or 5G plan does not change anything in regards to the network you use, the coverage you have or how your calls work, it only changes the maximum speed you can receive on the data network.

@Bruins77 iPhone 11 has 4G LTE, so you will get good speed with a 5G plan as well

(If you currently have a 3G plan, the top speed is only 3Mpbs, 4G plan would be 100Mpbs)

Sorry for dumb questions.    So I’m 3 g. iPhone 11.  Is it a lot better for me to change to 5g. ?

[Bruins77]

On 3 g now

@Bruins77 you don't need a 5G phone for 5G plan.  With PM, 5G plan is about speed, you get up to 250 Mbps with a 5G plan and you can get this speed even with a LTE phone on LTE network.  (With 4G plan, the top speed is only 100Mpbs)

Just realized my iPhone 11 can’t go 5 g.  Glad I said change plan on renewal.  So I cancelled plan change.  Looks like everything is okay but I hope I don’t get screwed up

@Bruins77 

no sim card changed required.  The sim card is tied to your account and can be used on any plans.
