5G and 5G Ultra Wideband mobile networks FAQs

Where 5G is available, 5G-enabled devices show a 5G icon instead of a 4G LTE icon on the device screen.

When you're using data in an area not covered by 5G, your device automatically shifts to our 4G LTE network.

Visit our Verizon 5G network coverage map.

All Verizon monthly mobile plans and prepaid plans include access to our 5G network.

• This change doesn't affect your plan’s data amount. Your device still receives 4G LTE and, if you have a 5G-enabled device, can access the 5G network when available.
• Depending on your plan, 5G usage may count toward your monthly data and Mobile Hotspot allowances.
• Prepaid plans: Our current Prepaid phone and data-only plans include 5G access. Our prepaid Unlimited Plus phone plan and 150 GB and 100 GB data-only plans include access to both 5G and 5G Ultra Wideband. Learn more about prepaid plans and 5G.

When you move outside Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband coverage area, the 5G-enabled devices hand off the signal to Verizon's 5G or 4G LTE network. In some cities, the stadium will be the only place with Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service, offering you a unique 5G experience you can't get anywhere else in your local area.

Benefits of using 5G Ultra Wideband include:

• Faster than what you have now. So your downloads take a fraction of the time. Get a movie in minutes, or a song in seconds.
• Safer than public Wi-Fi. So you can say goodbye to slow speeds and unsecured networks.
• Built for places where people can use their phones at the same time. So you can stream, share, post and work without being slowed down by everyone around you when connected.
• Not just for phones. It can give your whole home or business fast internet even with lots of devices connected. Easy to set up and without the headaches of cable.
• Video and audio in HD. So you can stream video and video chat without Wi-Fi and with fewer frozen faces from your family or coworkers.
• Console-quality gaming on your phone. So you can game on the go with ultra low lag.

Note: When you're not in a 5G Ultra Wideband coverage area, you may still get a great network experience with 5G, in addition to our award-winning 4G LTE network.
