FAQs

What is Gemalto 5G? ›

Gemalto first in the world to make 5G SIM available to unleash the potential of next generation networks. The new 5G SIM provides improved data privacy, enhanced protection against hacking and seamless 5G global roaming.

What kind of SIM connects to Verizon's 5G network? Currently, eSIM and compatible 4G and 5G SIM cards work on the Verizon 5G network. Check compatibility of the SIM at our BYOD page. Important: Moving a 5G SIM card to a 4G device won't enable that device to connect to the 5G network.

Do I need a new SIM for 5G? The simple answer is no, you do not need a new SIM for 5G. You can use your existing SIM card on your new 5G phone.

The best thing about 5G is its speed: 5G offers super fast download speeds — nearly four times faster than 4G LTE. Additionally, 5G is congestion-resistant; it has the capacity to handle more devices at any given time without slowing upload or download speeds.

Gemalto provides software solutions, subscriber identity modules (SIM) and managed services to more than 700 million subscribers in the telecommunications market.

To check if your phone supports 5G, open Settings, go to Connections, tap Mobile Networks, and select Network Mode. If "2G/3G/4G/5G (auto connect)" is an option, your phone supports 5G. If it shows only "2G/3G/4G," your phone does not support 5G. Enable 5G by choosing the auto connect option for faster connectivity.

Wondering whether your old SIM card is compatible with the new 5G network? The answer is straightforward: A 4G SIM card can function in a 5G phone. There are some 5G-specific sim cards, but you don't need them.

Your device may display a message such as "SIM card not recognized" if it has trouble reading the SIM card. This might happen because: SIM card is damaged (e.g., cracked, worn, split, etc.). Make sure the SIM card isn't damaged before inserting it into the SIM card tray or slot.

When you insert your SIM card into another phone, you transfer that information to the new device. Your phone number does not change when you transfer phones using your SIM card because your number is linked to the SIM card and the mobile network rather than the specific phone.

If your phone supports dual 5G standby, when using two 5G SIM cards. After 5G is turned on and the local network supports 5G, both SIMs can use the 5G network, and the 5G icon will be displayed in the status bar.

Is eSIM better than physical SIM card? ›

Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs are integrated directly into your device. They remove the need for physical swapping, allow for the storage of multiple accounts, and greatly improve convenience and durability. eSIMs are especially beneficial for international travelers and devices with limited physical space.

Compatibility of 5G SIM cards with 4G phones:

This means that you can insert a 5G SIM card into a 4G phone and still use it to access 4G networks. However, you won't be able to take advantage of the faster speeds and other benefits offered by 5G technology.

Customers who have 5G-enabled devices and have latched onto the Airtel 5G Plus network can now enjoy Unlimited 5G Data.

Jio is the best 5G SIM in India Jio won all nine awards for mobile networks in India in 2023, including all awards for 5G networks.

The UE ID in a 5G network is used to uniquely identify the UE and establish secure communication between the UE and the network. The UE ID can be a temporary identifier (SUCI) or a permanent identifier (SUPI), and it is used in various network procedures, such as registration, authentication, and key agreement.

Therefore, each generation of cellular networks defines at least one authentication method. For example, 4G defines EPS-AKA. 5G defines three authentication methods: 5G-AKA, EAP-AKA', and EAP-TLS.

Security in 5G networks is standardized (by 3GPP) in a hop-by-hop fashion, where user data is decrypted and encrypted in different functions within the network. User data is (in most cases) encrypted in transit (over the network) but processed in cleartext in many functions.

The adoption of innovative technologies such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) on the new 5G network technology has the potential to transform the way businesses communicate, providing improved call quality, greater mobility, and an array of possibilities for collaboration.

In most cases, you will not need to change your SIM card to use 5G. Most 4G SIM cards are backward compatible with 5G networks. The reason is that 5G networks often require a specific type of SIM card called a 5G SIM or Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).
