    I just called to talk to someone about 5G and they finally said the same you mentioned. All the other agents I spoke to said there would be 5G. I just saw my credits show up and didn't want to escalate it yet until I've used them up. Let us know if the escalation worked and then I'll call in again in the future. Still disappointed there isn't 5G, but honestly not the end of the world as it is still pretty quick and I don't know if I'll notice the difference.
    I got a callback from the president's office yesterday. He was a nice enough guy and explained that even with all the power their team has, there is no way to even add 5G on to any non-Infinite plans, and that the best he can do was put me on a $60/20GB Infinite plan. I declined as 5G ain't worth $24 a month to me.

    That said, he did give me a one month credit for $45 and said he would push for their team to create a new 5G add-on and to check back in a few months to see if its available. He also mentioned he would talk to their winback people and make sure they start making it clear that 5G is not included on these plans.

    Overall not the best outcome, but whatever, lack of 5G is not a dealbreaker for me and the additional credit on top of everything so far was fair IMO.

    So what do you need for the wingback team to get this deal? I don't have a company email, but work for a government company, so I'd be surprised if I don't qualify. Would an employee ID and letter of employment cover it?

    I spoke to Mark about this and he said that the $36 plan should include 5G (when the network is available) support said I need to order a 5G SIM card.

    Not sure what is correct on this one...

    As if it costs them anything extra to let you connect to 5G over 4G.

    Seems like a hilarious way to piss off your customers over.

    Out of curiosity what’s your use case for needing 5G on your cell phone that LTE can’t provide today?

    I can watch my weirdo youtubes just fine on my "4g throttled to almost as slow as 3g", but agree you don't want to be streaming full movies. Still, your comment made my laugh.

    Ever bought an E63 when a Accord could do?

    No use case besides I want the fastest option.

    I honestly don’t care all that much.

    My phone shipped today but don’t have it yet.

    The chat support said I have to call them when I get it and request a 5G SIM card.

    Will update when I get it.
