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

SA+NSA just means the network is broadcasting SA and NSA in your area but even those on older plans can see SA, they just can't use it. Means you'll be on NSA.
5G SA
5G NSA

Still nothing on the iPhone 14 Pro Max on EE 60.0.1
I have been getting this message frequently, but still no 5G SA.
Great news! We've updated some of your network settings, please restart your phone to make sure it's up to date

Has EE confirmed if the iPhone 14 is supported?
06-11-2024 02:19 PM
It is supported. I needed a new sim to get it working on my 15 Pro, I did this by downloading an esim in the EE app.

iPhone 13 & 14 are supported by apple for SA. Just EE haven’t enabled it for those yet.. Annoying

I've been reading this thread with interest as I am going to move onto one of the supported sim only plans next week. The postcode checker shows my area isn't a 5G Stand Alone area.
But when I run the Field Test on my current plan (which is a 2017 4G plan) it shows the following:
Does this mean that 5G Stand Alone is available in my area currently and that I would be able to connect to it, albeit with a suitable plan and a new sim card as mine is from 2017?
And also does this mean that the postcode checker is wrong ?

EE have a policy of not announcing a service is available in an area until a substantial part of the area has it. So you could find they are enabling it in your area but there isn't enough to show it yet.

@Colstalex thanks for the help, I wasn't aware of that. I knew that the coverage checker could not be relied upon for definitive confirmation of coverage.
When I eventually get moved on to the new plan and my sim card replaced, I will certainly run a speed check on nperf and see what it shows at the bottom of the app in the technology part (as I read on this thread that this will tell you definitively if you are connected to 5G Stand Alone)
