Does My SIM-Only Plan Have Access to Optus 5G?
Estimated Reading Time: 1 MinutesIf you’re wondering whether your SIM-only plan includes access to Optus 5G or if it’s limited to Optus 4G, you’re not alone. With the rapid expansion of 5G networks across Australia, many customers are curious about what their current plans offer. Here’s what you need to know:
Understanding Your Plan’s Network Access
-
Check Your Plan Details: The first step is to check the specifics of your SIM-only plan. Some plans are designed to offer 5G access, while others may be restricted to 4G.
-
5G-Capable Devices: Even if your plan includes 5G, you’ll need a 5G-capable device to take full advantage of it. If your device only supports 4G, then you won’t be able to access the 5G network, even if your plan allows it.
-
Coverage Area: Ensure you’re in an area where Optus 5G is available. While Optus continues to expand its 5G coverage, it might not be available in all regions. You can check Optus’s coverage map to see if 5G is available in your area.
-
Network Preferences: Some devices allow you to set network preferences manually, meaning you can choose to connect to either 4G or 5G. If you’re not getting a 5G signal, make sure your device is set to automatically connect to the best available network.
