Get More Speed Without Paying More
With a 5G-capable phone and 5G coverage in your area, you’re all set to scamper into faster, smoother wireless performance.
5G can mean:
- Faster downloads
- Smoother streaming
- Better video calls
- Lower lag for gaming
- Better performance when the network is busy
When 5G is available, your compatible phone will automatically connect. No activation fee, add-on, or extra charge required.
5G Is Included With Every Plan
You don’t have to upgrade your plan to get 5G.
- Pay As You Go — $25/month
- Unlimited — $50/month
Every plan includes 5G access. Your plan determines what you pay—not whether you can use 5G.
No premium tiers. No extra fees. No funny business.
Do I Need a 5G Phone?
To use 5G, you’ll need a 5G-capable phone. Most newer iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models support 5G, although compatibility varies by device.
If your phone doesn’t support 5G, that’s okay. You can still connect to 4G LTE where coverage is available.
What Determines Your 5G Experience?
A few things can affect your connection:
- Where you are: 5G coverage varies by location and continues to expand.
- Your phone: Your device must support 5G.
- Network traffic: Speeds can vary when lots of people are using the network.
If 5G isn’t available, your phone can automatically switch to 4G LTE where coverage is available. You stay connected while your phone handles the switching for you.
Will 5G Use More Data?
Not necessarily. 5G doesn’t automatically use more data, but faster speeds can make it easier to use more—especially when streaming high-quality video, gaming, or downloading large files.
Your data usage depends primarily on how you use your phone, not whether you’re connected to 5G or LTE.
Is 5G Available Everywhere?
5G coverage is growing nationwide, but it isn’t available in every location yet.
Check your coverage to see what’s available where you live, work, and play.
Why Switch 5G?
We think getting better network access shouldn’t mean paying for a fancier plan.
5G is included with every Switch Mobile plan.
Choose the plan that fits your needs, bring a compatible phone, and let your phone find the best available connection.
No complicated upgrades. No extra fees. Just better ways to stay connected.
And if 5G isn’t around? Your phone knows the way back to LTE. Think of it as having a backup branch.
