Starting to appear like maybe you in an area not covered by 5G...only LTE. Use this link to see if that's the case.

HI @Peterhddh 

make sure you have the latest iOS and Carrier Profile

then Reset Networks Settings.  And go to Network mode to make sure the mode is set to 5G Auto or you can try 5G On

and try in different area, and maybe try your sim card on another phone

@Peterhddh  nope it will work 

Also need to be in 5G areas also for it to work

@Peterhddh - Here are the system requirements for 5G to work on an iPhone with Public Mobile:

• Has to be on iOS 16.5 or later
• Has to be an iPhone 12, 12mini, 12 pro, 12pro max or newer, or an iPhone SE 3rd gen from 2022.
• Has to have 5G Coverage

@Peterhddh  You need to select 5G network in phone settings but if you have s20 series phone it won’t get the 5G network like it can with Telus for example

HI @Peterhddh 

what phone do you have? I guess yours is a 5G phone?

try Reset All Networks and see if it works

Then confirm your network mode is set to Automatic

if possible, test your sim card in another phone as well

@Peterhddh 

could be no 5G in your vicinity. Could be you've selected LTE in Settings.

Which phone model do you have? It may not be compatible with Public Mobile's 5G network.
