will EE Mobile get 5G standalone (SA) this year

I’ve followed through all the comments/suggestions but I can’t get that toggle to show in my settings, it just never shows the option.

What phone are you using? If it’s an iPhone it currently needs to be a 15 series iPhone. 
iPhone 13 and 14 series will be supported eventually but currently EE have only opened it up to the 15 series and only on the iOS 18 beta. 
You also need a supporting plan with EE, without one the toggle will show but you won’t actually connect to the SA network

That could be it then, I have the 14 pro max, I do have the latest plan though.

My Samsung S23 Ultra updated to OneUI 6.1.1 this morning and it is now connected to 5G SA with VoNR (Vo5G). There's not really any difference so far.

Hi all,

With the upcoming release of the new iPhone 16 series just wondering if anyone knows if they will be supporting 5G Standalone. Looking at Vodafone's website it says "5G Ultra phone" which would indicate the device sold by them supports 5G standalone but can't find anything from EE.

Thanks 🙂

I've moved your post to a lengthy thread discussing 5G-SA support on the latest iOS phones. Take a read through the preceeding 8 pages of posts.

I have an S23 Ultra and due to having to go to a certain red company and their blue cousin for a SIM card to get a better deal on gigabit, I can see why I stay with EE.. 400 Mbps 4G, 800 Mbps 5G with EE vs 20 Mbps 4G and no 5G with the blue cousin. 

Thankfully the red company is delivering great speeds so far, but it's my first day.

Hi. Where did you find this info? I’ve just updated my iPhone 13 Pro Max to iOS 18.1 on the Dev build hoping it would pull down new carrier settings. It has, EE 59.5.1, but still no SA Toggle as yet. I’m on the new All Rounder for iPhone tariff too. Guess we’ll have to wait.. Out of curiosity, what carrier version are the iPhone 15 peeps who have the SA toggle have?

59.5.1

My settings on my iPhone 15 Pro are EE 59.0.1 (not 59.5.1).

SA toggle is present and I am on one of the new SA plans.
