You need to change to a 5G plan to receive 5G.

 

You don't get a new sim.

Hi @TonyAhed 

 

Just to add to Brendon's reply, there is no such thing as a 4G SIM or a 5G SIM. All EE SIMs are capable of operating on the 2G, 3G, 4G & 5G networks.

 

It's the plan you are on, and the phone you are using, that enables access to the 5G network.

 

If you are on a 5G plan and have a 5G phone, then your SIM will enable access to the 5G network anywhere that it's available.
