Yes, Smart does have 5G service available.
Smart, a major telecommunications provider, has actively rolled out its Fifth Generation (5G) network, offering subscribers access to significantly faster mobile data speeds and lower latency compared to older network technologies like 4G/LTE.
According to information from Smart themselves, accessing their 5G network is quite straightforward for many existing users.
Key Information About Smart 5G
- 5G Network Availability: Smart has deployed a 5G network.
- SIM Card Readiness: A key point highlighted by Smart is that all current Smart 4G/LTE SIMs are 5G-ready. This means if you have a recent Smart SIM initially used for 4G, it is likely already capable of connecting to the 5G network, provided you are in a 5G coverage area and using a 5G-compatible device.
Checking Your SIM's 5G Readiness
To confirm if your existing Smart SIM is indeed 5G-ready, Smart provides a simple method:
- Text SIMCHECK to 5832. This service is FREE.
This quick check will verify if your current SIM card supports 5G connectivity.
Getting a New 5G SIM
If your SIM check indicates your SIM is not 5G-ready, or if you are a new subscriber, you can easily obtain a 5G-ready SIM.
- Visit the Smart Online Store.
- Go to the nearest Smart Store.
These channels ensure you get a SIM card capable of connecting to Smart's 5G network.
To learn more about connecting to the Smart 5G network, you can refer to their official resources, such as the page titled "How to Connect to Smart 5G" on their blog.
In summary, Smart has a functioning 5G network, and most current users already possess a SIM card that is technically ready to use it, assuming they meet other requirements like having a 5G device and being within coverage.
