You can call and find out which plans have 5g , the 5ge was long time ago and it was only enhanced 4g lte .

Will look into it. thanks.

It's cool. Like I said it's been working fine, plus I'm on wifi alot. Thanks for trying though.

I was getting over 200 Mbps in some locations with "5Ge" and starting to hit 300 at towers near my house and I suspect avg speeds will only stabilize/improve as more people move off 4G like what happened when people were moving off 3G. So if you are getting good speeds, I would have held off myself if I didn't get my daughter a 5G phone.

But you never know if you check plans... I ended up paying less with the new plan so worked out for me. But I had discounts applied too.

I am on Note20U, AT&T locked, on AT&T plan. Mine also reports the "ATTNextgenphone" under APN. I am on the top tier 5G, Unlimited plan.

In Kansas City area, I mostly get 5Ge. On rare occasions around town, I will show 5G, but only in restricted locations. Out in the "burbs, best is 5Ge.

I had that issue when I bought this phone as well. I ended up having to go to the AT&T store. They got into my account and changed something on their end to get their servers to update my phone to 5G. I didn't need a new sim or anything. Just an AT&T associate.

I went online and looked at the 5g plans. Seems like I'll be paying a little more plus I might lose my employee discount if I switch. I might hold off a little while and just deal with the 5ge.

I won't be upgrading anything unless it's free with my current plan. 4G has served me perfectly fine.... I'm not going to be up sold and charged more for a shiny new name lol.

For me my monthly payment actually went down $10 a month (I also have home internet with them) and along with 5G each phone also had 30gb of Hotspot through phone so it worked out. Hotspot has come in handy a few times.

The only upside was I would be getting unlimited data instead of the 30gb with rollover that I have now, but as much as I wanted unlimited data the price wasn't worth it.

Re: no 5G on AT&T Note 20 Ultra

Might not be a plan issue. True 5G isn't implemented everywhere yet. It requires a network of towers positioned very closely together and may not work consistently even in urban areas that have it.

Better than here in Canada where lucky if there is 2 or 3 cities that have it yet. The rest is glorified LTE branded as 5G in your notification panel. In fact the iPhone 12's being sold here don't even have the mm wave antenna but are still being branded and sold as 5G devices.

Apologize for jumping in but am curious. Am on ATT which is constantly advertising 5g. However I have only seen the5G on my display once when I first got the phone. IIs it possible to disable it?

If you are asking if you can disable 5G on a locked AT&T phone I would say no. AT&T has removed the 5G button that some other models have. I have found no way to restore it yet but I have been looking.

No, was just wondering since the 5g symbol has disappeared! Have been doing a lot of changes and updates so I thought I may have disabled it by mistake

Do you have the Good Lock QuickStar app enabled? I believe you are able to make those type of changes in that app.

We live in Clarksville Tennessee on Spectrum. They just turned 5G on and my note 20u and my wife's s20 FE shows 5G.

It's because you're on Wi-Fi. Turn Wi-Fi off temporarily and the 5G symbol will replace the Wi-Fi symbol.

While you may occasionally see both symbols at the same time, it usually only shows one or the other.

Turning of WIFI did the trick. Odd though, it should show both at once.

I've never seen it show both, other than during transitions from one to the other, or once in a while the mobile network will blink on briefly while on Wi-Fi, but never stays on.

That's how it's always been on any Samsung I've had in my family (current S20 FE, S9, S8, S4, S2), any iPhone we have or had (current 12-Mini, 7, 5C, 4, 3G), or BlackBerry I've used (Z10, Torch 9800). Those are all devices we've used that have or had Wi-Fi capabilities.

Since the Android 11 update my note 20 shows both and stays on. The only way I can get rid of the 5ge is if I turn mobile data off and then back on. I never had this issue before Android 11 though .
