You can check in the Settings app under Cellular > Cellular Data Options. If you have 5G, you’ll see 5G On and 5G Auto, on top of LTE. If 5G isn’t active, you’ll see LTE and 4G instead.
13Pro, I have 5G symbol at top right between signal bars and battery icon. But if I go to cellular data it says LTE.
Or you can simply disconnect your WIFI, then you will see the cellular name located on the very right top corner. LTE/5Ge is for 4G. 5G is for 5G.
PIA was unable to connect, at least not initially, but I was able to connect to my wireless router. It was a little bit confusing, but when I turned off both WiFi and PIA, I was able to see the 5G connection indicator. As PIA was unable le to connect to the server I chose, it really didn't matter whether I was on WiFi or 5G. I eventually ended up just deleting PIA and re-installing it from the App Store. Now, everything is good to go.
Thank you I did that. 5G shows now. I still have one bar signal, might have to call at&t to figure out the poor signal.
That's usually means you're in a poor coverage zone. Could be a dead spot. I have full bars most everywhere, but in my house only one or two. All the way to work I have full bars, but once I'm inside the building I'm down to one. WiFi takes over and my connection is strong so connectivity is never a problem.
Correct. I moved from 4G physical sim card to eSim card directly. Not sure if eSim card has 4G and 5G version, just like physical sim cards.
This method may work. Thanks for your suggestion.
If your phone can show 5G sign located on the right top corner sometimes, your phone should be setup correctly to receive 5G signal. The reason why it jumps between 5G/LTE/4G could be the poor 5G coverage... When 5G signal is poor enough, your phone will switch to LTE/4G automatically.
