Eligibility for 5G
New and existing customers get access to 5G with speeds up to 1 Gbps when using a 5G-capable device. Most newer smartphones already support 5G. To check if your device supports it, visit How to check if your device is 5G compatible.
Your device will keep working normally on 4G/LTE network.
Device requirements
To use the 5G network, you’ll need a 5G-capable device. If your device only supports 4G/LTE, you can keep using it without changing anything. You can also upgrade to a device that supports 5G.
Go to our phones page or a store to explore upgrade options.
Your current SIM or eSIM works with 5G and doesn't need to be replaced.
Plan eligibility
Most Fido mobile plans include 5G. If you’re on an eligible plan and have a 5G-capable device, you’re all set.
Basic plans and Wireless Home Phone plans don't support 5G. If your plan doesn’t include 5G, you’ll need to switch to an eligible plan.
