Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I not getting a 5G signal?
If you are in a city where 5G is available but you are not getting 5G signals, your telecom operator like Jio, Airtel or Vi is unlikely to roll out 5G services in your area or region yet. Try moving to other areas where 5G is live.
How to check if 5G service is available in your region/area?
If you are an Airtel user, download the Airtel Thanks app. There is an app option ‘Check if your phone is 5G enabled’. Click on it to know the availability of Airtel 5G services in your area.
Otherwise, Airtel and Jio users can download the SpeedTest app via Ookla on their mobile phones. The app has a ‘map’ feature that tells you where 5G services are currently available.
Which cities have 5G services?
Airtel has launched its 5G Plus services in select cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Siliguri, Nagpur and Varanasi. On the other hand, Jio True 5G has started rolling out in Delhi, Varanasi, Nagpur, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai and Siliguri.
