I am in the UK, southern England and EE told me that 5G wasn't available when I activated my watch the other day. I beg to differ lol....
Got a tip for us?

Was it a watch purchased via EE? Have you previously had a watch and just switched the data plan or was it a new data plan?
Wondering if switched plans or watches not purchased from EE don’t work for 5G or if they just haven’t got 5G Redcap on all masts.
Bought the watch from Apple - long story with the plan, but the essence of it is a new plan that is included with my new iPhone Full Works SIM only plan that I just upgraded to. (I used to pay for standalone watch plan)
Ditto. Seems to be largely an AT&T issue. I can't figure out if this press release is exaggerating with the coverage in their build out, or if we should be focusing on this phrase "As we continue expanding the 5G RedCap network and ecosystem..." and we need to wait for the expansion.

Yes it appears to be an ATT issue, terrible marketing a feature before it’s actually available and usable…
Anyone know if T Mobile supports 5G on U3 currently? I would seriously consider changing over all my plans because of ATTs false advertising

I doubt it. It’s highly unlikely that they’d escalate their rollout because of an Apple Watch.
