Which phones are supported on standalone 5G?

[Philt8]

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and although I have the full works package shown in my account, I don’t seem to be able to enable/see the option to enable standalone 5G. From https://ee.co.uk/why-ee/5g-on-ee the criteria is:

• be on an All Rounder or Full Works plan purchased on or after 29 August
• have a compatible phone
• be in a 5G Standalone location

The problem is, I can’t see further information as to the compatible phones.

Did you take the contract out after the 29th of August this year?

If not you can't enable Standalone 5G even if your phone does support it

I upgraded today. Standalone 5G is shown on my account. Enabled options on my account.

Hi @Philt8 

Thanks for coming to the community.

TCL 50, Moto Razer 50 Ultra and Moto G 85 5G are live on 5G SA now, as well as EE 5GEE WiFi and 5GEE Home. 

The Samsung S23 & 24 line-up will be EE 5G Standalone enabled with VONR shortly, with further smartphones from Samsung, Microsoft, Google, Sony and ‘others’ due to be enabled in the coming months.

Which phone have you upgraded to?

Hi! I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I don't have that one showing as compatible just yet @Philt8 , but it is listed on the Apple website as one that will support 5G SA, so it may be available in due course.

Keep an eye on the latest software updates and the mobile data options in the Settings for the option to switch on 5G SA.

Thanks everyone. I do think it would be helpful for EE to publish a list of compatible phones, as they reference compatible phones.

@Philt8   You need the option to enable it on your device ( it’s in voice and data ). and you need to be on a tariff that has this.

Anything from the iPhone 13 line up and newer supports it, you will just need an R15 Physical Sim, or you can reinstall your eSim and it should work on iOS 18

Oh that’s interesting. I am on an eSIM on the iPhone 14 Pro. 

I have tried re-provisioning the eSIM but the outcome stays the same on both iOS 18.0 and iOS 18.1.
