Ask about 5G service in their area? In India, there are even viral tests spreading out to check people’s status on whether their premises are marked by 5G Service. Here, before getting another SIM card or upgrading your phone, confirm 5G availability with the telecom service provider in your location. Be it Patna or Mumbai, or any city, a few easy checks are there.

1. Official Websites of Telecom Operators:

Most of the prominent Indian telecom operators have provided online tools for users to check the availability of 5G in their area. For example, Jio set up a page dedicated to checking the 5G coverage where users will only have to input their PIN codes to see if Truly 5G is operating in their areas, and to date, Jio has already covered over 2,500 cities.

Airtel provides coverage maps on its website under Open Network, where a user would type in the site to check for 5G availability and signal strength coverage. The company has almost completed rolling out 5G to major cities.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) has launched 5G services in selected cities such as Patna. Go to the 5G page and enter your location for coverage. Just ensure that the phone is 5G enabled and has a 5G SIM for joining the network.

2. Maps of Coverage by Third Party Sources:

Some good third-party websites like nPerf and Ookla can give a fair overview and comparatively analyze all operators. Perf stands almost with a complete coverage map of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks within the country of India, with filtering options per network type and real-time actual data from users of that area.

Along with that, there is also the coverage map of the Speedtest site from Ookla, instantiated with user speed tests that verify the strength and extent of real 5G service near your area.

3. Check from Smartphone System Settings:

If you have a 5 G-enabled smartphone, the first way is to check whether it connects to 5G actively:

Open Settings.

Tap on Network & Internet or Connections.

Select Mobile Networks and then Preferred Network Type.

Make sure 5G is selected there.

If the 5G icon is visible in your status bar, the location you are at is actually under 5G coverage, and you are secured into the network.

4. Witch&DashLocal Store or Customer Care:

If that doesn’t work, go directly to the nearest Jio/Airtel/Vi shop for assistance. The staff at these stores will tell you if you have 5G in your area and help you select the best plan and SIM to use.

Be sure to check whether 5G is in your area before converting to a new SIM or altering your device. However, official sources, third-party maps, or phone checks give you a clear idea and enjoy a faster internet bereaved of bad surprises.

These simple steps should help you understand which telecom operator offers 5G in your area and get what matches your requirements most.
