Do I need a 5G device/handset to access 5G?

Yes. To access 5G with MATE, you’ll need:

  • A 5G compatible device that isn’t locked to another provider
  • A MATE 5G-enabled mobile plan (capped speeds apply)
  • To be in a 5G coverage area

To access 5G, you’ll need a 5G compatible device and be within a 5G coverage area. 5G is now available in most metro and regional areas and continues to expand (check coverage here).

đź’ˇ Tip: Outside of 5G coverage, your device will automatically switch to 4G so you won’t notice any difference.
