Re: No 5g Ireland

I got mine working there on Pixel 9 pro. Issue was my mobile number wasn't appearing with the sim when it was provisioned. Check to see if you go to settings > networks > sim. See if below sky it shows your mobile number. If it doesn't open your phone dialler and type in *#*#4636#*#*  select phone and then scroll down to the very bottom and there is a text box. Hit the refresh button first then remove the number there & insert your number and click update. Then reboot!  I seen similar posts on other forums and this which helped me fix it. Hope it works or helps others! May not but worth a shot! 4G calling & wifi calling now appearing for me too.

Re: No 5g Ireland

Hi I have a Pixel 7pro and have not been able to access 5g since I switched over back in December. At the time sky tech support said this issue should be sorted in a few months. Is there any update on this? When will 5g be available on Google devices in Ireland?

 

Thanks

Keith

This issue has been fixed with the Pixel update that released on the 8th of March 2025. 5G. and WiFi calling working where available.

Thanks for the update. Can confirm 5G is now available on my pixel 7a following the update.

What is the latest Android version that fixes this issue and allows for 5G? Mine is on version 15 and I still can't get 5G.

Thanks

Re: No 5g Ireland

Good to know, thanks. Do any settings need to be changed in order to activate 5G?

Re: No 5g Ireland

I would suspect that a lot of older Google made phones wouldn't be included in a software release - this is normally due to the work that the phone makers have to do to capture for each model of device as they have different chip sts etc so always a prioritisation call/cut off point. 

 

Reading this thread it would look like that cut-off is Pixel 7's and up have the software release, and anything below does not. If you were to get a newer Pixel device going forward I would assume that all would have the software to give 5G, wifi calling etc.

The Pixel 6pro worked on the Three network. It's also worked on Vodafone who supply Sky mobile in Ireland.

Re: No 5g Ireland

I am not sure it matters that Sky use the Vodafone network - I assume for example that AN Post who using the Voda network would have had the same issue.

 

Vodafone & Three would have had Google software on phones yonks ago while Sky has only just launched. Google and other phone makers won't go back to devices beyond a certain launch date, and might be a 3 year cut off or something similar post release.

 

So prob any Google device from 7 and up forever more will get the software needed, for older models people might be stuck using 3rd party apps. Prob not the helpful answer as I can only speculate but does seem likely.

 

If a dealbreaker I'd suggest DM'ing on twitter and that way you will get a proper written response
