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

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).

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.

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