    Claro has some 5G coverage and switching it on on a compatible phone carries no extra cost apparently. In fact, Adri's new phone is 5G ready, so I'll give it a go.

    Mine isn't, unfortunately - Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

    My old castoff definitely won't. Doubt if it's available here anyway.

    Adri's phone switches automatically between 4G and 5G, which is what all phones will do where services are available.

    I’m thinking that older phones aren’t set up for 5G, UK Man . How old is the “old castoff?”

    No idea but it's a good few years. I only use it for WhatsApp messaging so it's not as if it's that old. ^^ It gets 4G so might well get 5G when available. I might have to update the software.
