No 5G on Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max in Toronto?

I plan to stick around

I just set up my new iPhone 12 Pro Max on Rogers and I am surprised not to see the 5G indicator on the screen. Still, only the old LTE is there. I switched Voice & Data under Settings -> Cellular to 5G On, but to no avail. Is 5G coverage in Toronto spotty?

 

I can see that the six Rogers towers closer to my location use frequency bands in the 700, 850, 1900, 2100 and 2600 MHz. I thought Rogers uses 600 MHz for 5G, but I don’t see 600 MHz transmitters in Toronto. Strange!

 

Do you guys get the 5G indicator on your 12-series iPhones? If yes, is it on consistently, or just occasionally?

Hello @MichealYYZ

I haven't tested it with Rogers yet. However I am with another company and I see 5G all the time other when I go into work ( store inside a condominium where I lose service).

I'll test it out and see!

Did you resolve this? I'm waiting for my iPhone 12 Pro Max and wondering if I'm going to have same issue..

Are you in TO?

I believe I found out. Apparently, Rogers has not enabled 5G on non-Infinite plans. 
Yes, I am in Toronto.

Re: No 5G on Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max in Toronto?

Hi @Mikec69,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

Is this specific to one location? Have you tried to reset your network settings? Ideally, if you already have an eligible device and a 5G SIM Card you should be good to go. Just as an FYI you might not be able to connect to a 5G network because:

 

  • Your device is connecting to an HSPA+ or 4G LTE network, as that network’s signal is stronger.
  • You’re in an Extended Coverage area.
  • You’re roaming outside of Canada.

Greetings @bhaveshp29!

 

Thanks for contributing to this conversation and Congrats on your first post to the Community! 🙌 I too am a fellow iPhone user and I'm saddened to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with the 5G network. In order to assist you, I do have a few questions for you to get started:

 

Have you had the chance to check out @RogersZia's post with regards to this issue?

 

As @phantomfire78 inquired, do you have a 5G SIM card?

 

When did this issue start occurring?

 

Regards,

 

RogersJo
