What would be looking for in a plan?
Loads of minutes or lots of data?
Walk into any shop tell them you want a pay as you go SIM and tell them your number.

Crikey, I nearly bought one.
Does anyone know, will the roll out of 5g mean that you need a new phone?
Yes, most phones don’t currently have the hardware to use 5G.

Yep, you’ll need a 5g phone. Remember when you had to get rid of your 088 phone…
OnePlus have just released a 5g phone which gives serious bang for buck but I’d wait for significant rollout of the network before buying otherwise you’ll be sitting in Gregg’s in Bolton with only 4g coverage.

Would a 5g phone work for 4g?
Yep, but kinda pointless having one for 4g
The operators don’t really have much use for 5G at the moment is my understanding. 5G is significantly faster than 4G, but on a phone you will struggle to notice the difference. 5G range is much shorter which will mean a lot more phone masts needed, but they won’t be seen for a few years yet.
Saw a video last week of a sppedtest in Vegas when the 5g speeds were in excess of 1gb
Agree about rollout and lack of availability
Bonus time for sports clubs to get masts up

If only there was someone about with time on their hands who knew how to put it all together
I was told by someone that its being rolled out in the UK fairly soon.
Do you have “an inside man” in the telecoms industry or was it the girls in Greggs that told you.
