Can I buy a 5G sim deal for my 4G enabled phone?

Hello

I would like to sign for a sim only monthly deal which says 5G phones only but the trouble is my phone is 4G enabled (Samsung A70) and because I like it I don't want any other phone at the moment.

My question is if I get a 5G sim deal will I be able to use it in my 4G phone? I'm not really bothered about 5G so would be happy with 4G still.

Yes, you can buy any SIM Plan for your phone.

You can buy a 5G plan for a 4G phone, but you won't get 5G speeds, because your phone is built for 4G. Newer phones will look for the best signal available, but you'll only get 5G speeds with a 5G enabled device.
