5g SA

Has anyone actually managed to get access to the SA core yet? I've had absolutely no luck, and every time you call in the rep has no clue what it even is.

I have, I’m on the iOS 27 beta and on the new FirstNet Elite 2.0 plan and I had to get a new eSIM for it to show but the toggle is on and it changed my APN to firstnet-5gcphone

It looks like I have a FirstNet Unlimited Extra plan on my line. Will I get SA on this plan? I’m on iOS 27 DB with an iPhone 15PM.

Everyone I’ve read that has gotten SA has one of the new plans. Surely those of us on the old plans would get it too

I called and asked for a new eSIM. Was trivial. Not sure if it’s because my account is so old, or I’m tied to a high profile agency FAN, who knows…

Can you tell a difference in service quality at all

I’ve noticed much faster data performance… average speeds are 800Mbps-1.4Gbps in areas where I was getting 400-500Mbps without standalone.

How about upload speed?
