I just had my number ported from EE to Lycamobile (massive reduction in bill).

I've now found out Pixel phones can't get 5G on Lycamobile.

Does anyone know what phones will work with 5G on Lycamobile please?

Thank you :)

Oh, I'm surprised by this. Are there any settings you've changed? I know some Pixel users have changed settings so they are roaming instead and you can get 5G that way.

I'm even having problems receiving texts straight away. With work, certain things require a text being sent with a code. It can take hours for the text to come through.

Lyca don't offer Wi-fi calling in the UK.

Thank you for the replies everyone :)

Latest Pixel update seems to have enabled 5G for me on Pixel 8 Pro (updated just a couple of minutes ago and it started working).

I just checked and did the update and I now have 5G as well! Saved loads of hassle and getting a new phone. Thank you :)

Thank you again to everyone :)
 
I've had the issue getting 5G but that seems to be ok now. I had issues receiving texts as well. I think this may have been linked with the 5G issue because after an update and phone restart, *touch wood* it seems ok.

The issue with texts was when a code was sent from logging into to something online and it could take a couple of hours to receive it instead of a few seconds.

Those issues seem resolved and everything else seems to be ok and working well :)
 
Yes, purely to save money.

I've found my speed staying the same. I refused to pay EE more for having unrestricted speed. They have three tiers now - 10Mb, 100Mb and unlimited.
