Nothing on my Galaxy S23 either. What are the compatible phones?

Thanks for confirming. Sadly for me I just upgraded on the 17th of August. The new plans are a lot more expensive than the previous ones. Hopefully EE sees sense and opens this up to the rest of us eventually as 5G standalone doesn't just benefit customers, it benefits EE too as it allows them to better manage their network

Are you on new plans that have the benefit included?

You'll see it in your active add-ons

[UkzVortex98]

yes I am but I am not getting settings to turn on in my iPhone

What version iOS are you on? I'm on the 18 public beta.

I have a new plan with a new esim and the postcode checker says SA is available in my area. I don't have the standalone toggle in my phone's setting menu that I've heard people mention, though.

If your on iPhone, then you’ll need the iOS 18 beta installed on your device to see the SA toggle. If you wait a couple of weeks then iOS 18 will be fully released soon anyway alongside the new iPhones.
