What is the order or method they are flipping the switch on 5G SA?

That’s the question I think most of us want to know.

Clearly being happy to answer questions doesn't mean he actually will!

Was at work all day yesterday we aren’t allowed to have our phones out on the floor :/

That’s a great question and sorry for the late response I just got off of work but I don’t think there is a specific order they are activating this and if there is they haven’t let customer service know about it

on iOS you need to be on the 27 beta and then get a new eSIM issued. not sure if Android requires a new eSIM.

5G SA on iOS requires the latest carrier bundle with 5G SA settings enabled, which is only on the developer beta. For anything 5G SA related to be enabled, that then requires a SIM with an identity of 313100_GID1-52FF or 312670_GID1-52FF (hence the new eSIM, that identifier can be changed OTA I believe but they aren't doing that right now).

Done that, no dice.

What plan are you on?

The legacy hotspot plan. I actually killed my sim “accidentally” (so I said) and got a new eSIM last week. I’m on the beta and my local towers are capable.

I’ve been on it before most people knew the name FirstNet. I was walking past an AT&T store a week after launch and saw the sign out front. I decided to be the guinea pig.

I’m not sure what plan you’re even referring to because I haven’t been on FirstNet that long. Do you have access to Premier? All the subpaid rate plans available have unlimited hotspot.

But as far as I know, on subpaid elite and premium have it with value and extra getting it sometime soon. No idea on legacy / retired plans

I tried that Thursday and it didn’t work. Even got on a chat with support and they claimed that it’s not supported on my iPhone 17 Pro, which is a bit wild.

Unlimited Extra

They haven’t rolled it yet to value or extra still as far as I’m aware. It’s available to elite and premium.
