Hi Debbie,

I am really struggling to get 5G SA enabled on my S24 with X24 All rounder plan and have tried physical sim then eSIM and finally a sim that I am told by EE shop is from new stock.

Ive tried to test in Manchester and Central London. The postcodes have been confirmed as being in 5G SA coverage.

Ive had many calls and 2 with level 2 tech. I’m waiting on a call back from the second.

I use engineering mode in the phone to see if on 5G SA. I’m only on NSA.

It took me two weeks to get my Vodafone phone onto 5G SA when they first launched. But have it a good coverage.

Thanks for your help...we now know there is a solution.😊

I am using 5g NR  on using a GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX) 5G NR router duel sim. I didn't replace the sim and it just worked. I tested by isolated just that tech and telling the router which masts I want to use.

 

There are no benefits for mobile broadand with phone benefits saving you battery only. I did it out of curious. Don't get upset over it.
