Hey there @UkzVortex98 

We don't have any specific updates on 5G Standalone just yet, but if you keep an eye on our 5G pages and coming soon page, we'll let you know as soon as we have more details.

I'm looking forward to 5G SA as the current deployment is a huge battery drain. 

[UkzVortex98]

it is not just EE being too slow rolling out 02 and  Vodafone already have it 

[carguy143]

I noticed on the EE website that the SIM only packages have been revamped as of a few days ago and whilst they don't mention 5G standalone, the terms and conditions document suggests only certain plans will get 5G standalone. Where does that leave the rest of us that are already in contract with yourselves? In my opinion it seems a bit short sighted to limit access to those on certain new plans as 5G standalone is supposedly meant to save the operator money, too.
