What is O2 5G?

5G is the best data technology in the UK and offers Internet speed like you've never experienced before. The best feature of 5G is that you won't experience a loss of signal in crowded unlike 4G.

How to get O2 5G

5G is not like any other data technology. For example; 4G, 3G and 2G comes with every O2 SIM only deal or mobile broadband plan. However, in order to get 5G, customers must first live in an area and have a 5G ready smartphone.

Clients are advised to check the O2 coverage map to see if their area has 5G coverage. The map can be located on the official O2 website.

If members are in an area that has 5G coverage, then congratulations! now all they need is a smartphone that is capable of achieving 5G technology.

Customers who choose a 5G ready SIM without a mobile phone that is capable of 5G will not have access to the best data technology in the UK.

The main reason there is a long process to get 5G is because it is the latest mobile data technology and has only been available to O2 customers since the 17^th October 2019.

What 5G ready phones does O2 offer?

Customers are fortunate that O2 offer some of the latest 5G ready smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G and the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.

Unfortunately, there are no Apple iPhones that are 5G ready, but Apple has made plans to release 5G ready iPhones in the near future.

However, customers can choose from other options, such as the Motorola razr 5G and Oppo Reno4 Pro 5G.

Members don't have to shop at O2 for 5G ready smartphones but there are benefits of being an existing O2 customer if they join on a mobile phone monthly plan.

What location offers O2 5G?

Customers can use the O2 coverage map by entering their postcode or full address to search for 5G coverage.

However, here is a list of all the towns and cities that offer 5G in the UK:

Aberdeen, Ashford, Banstead, Basildon, Belfast, Birmingham, Blydon, Bradford, Bridge of Don, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Chatham, Chesterfield, Chipstead, Coventry, Dartford, Derby, Dewsbury, Dundee, Dyce, Eastbourne, Edinburgh, Esher, Gateshead, Gillingham, Glasgow, Grays, Hemel Hempstead, Huddersfield, Hull, Jarrow, Leeds, Leicester, Lincoln, Lisburn, Liverpool, London, Lowestoft, Luton, Manchester, Mansfield, Middlesbrough, Morley, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newtownabbey, North Shields, Northampton, Norwich, Nottingham, Orpington, Oxford, Peterborough, Plymouth, Rainham, Redhill, Rotherham, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sheffield, Slough, South Shields, Staines, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunbury, Sunderland, Thundersley, Tynemouth, Warrington, Washington, Weybridge, Windsor, Worthing and York.

Rewind back to early this year and O2 only offered 5G to less than 50 locations around the United Kingdom but now they have 75 places that are 5G ready.

Choose a 5G O2 deal

There are two types of contract lengths that offer 5G which is a 12 and 18month contract. Customers can upgrade to unlimited data plans and combine with 5G, is the perfect deal!

For example, online phone gamers and movie bingers will have the best online experience without worrying about data usage. The O2 Unlimited data 12month Disney+ deal is a great plan that will give a lot of value to customers.

O2 5G is not only for personal use because businesses can get 5G deals as well. 5G is new to the business world but companies that are already using O2 5G have expressed that it offers a lot of benefits, such as the super-fast Wi-Fi speed, which has delivered a better customer experience and employees find it more productive using 5G than 4G.

However, choosing the right O2 5G deal may depend if the client has a 5G ready smartphone and 5G coverage.

Conclusion

5G is the future and customers are very lucky that O2 has created more areas with 5G coverage.

However, there are other mobile providers that offer 5G and cover a larger portion of the UK.

Also, if you are an Apple iPhone lover, you'll have to wait a little longer until a 5G phone is released.
