How To Activate 5G In Airtel

To activate 5G in Airtel, you’ll need to make sure a few things are in order:

1. Prerequisites:

• 5G Coverage: Ensure that Airtel 5G is available in your location. You can check this on the Airtel website or app.

• 5G-Compatible Device: Your smartphone needs to support 5G networks.

• Airtel 4G SIM: All existing Airtel 4G SIMs are 5G enabled, so you don’t need a new one.

2. Activation Steps:

• Check for Software Updates: Make sure your phone’s software is up to date. This is often necessary to enable 5G functionality.

• Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your phone.

• Network & Internet/Mobile Network: Find the section related to network settings. The exact name may vary depending on your phone’s model.

• SIM Card: If you have a dual-SIM phone, select the Airtel SIM.

• Preferred Network Type: Look for an option like “Preferred Network Type” or “Network Mode.”

• Select 5G: Choose 5G or “5G/4G/3G/2G (Auto)” from the available options.

Additional Points:

• Airtel Thanks App: You might also be able to activate 5G through the Airtel Thanks app if you have a postpaid connection.

• Customer Support: If you face any issues, contact Airtel customer support.

• Network Availability: Even after activating 5G, actual network availability depends on your location and network congestion.

• Battery Consumption: 5G might consume more battery than 4G.

Remember:

The exact steps and menu names might vary slightly depending on your phone’s model and Android version. If you can’t find the settings, you can search for “5G” in your phone’s settings or consult your phone’s user manual or the manufacturer’s website for specific instructions.
