Is it necessary to activate a 5G package to use the 5G network? The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has responded, and users are applauding

Two years ago, 5G was still far away from us; two years later, 5G has come to everyone. There is no doubt that 5G network is the future development trend. Major mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to gradually phase out 4G products, and basically achieved full coverage in the mid-to-low-end market, but many users choose to continue to stick to 4G network because 5G packages are too expensive. In order to reassure tens of thousands of users, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently issued an important statement that everyone can use 5G network at any time, and there is no mandatory package requirement.

5G

5G mobile phones are everywhere; the number of 5G users is rising continuously, and the entire market is moving towards a new stage of development. However, the current 5G network ecosystem is not perfect enough, and many areas are not covered. Even if it is covered, many users are reluctant to use the 5G network. Because the 5G packages of the three major operators are a bit expensive, most users are unwilling to spend more money, so they simply turn off the 5G in their hands and continue to use the 4G network. In summary, it is a cost issue.

5G Experience

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently responded to this topic of public concern, which is a reassurance to all 5G mobile phone users. According to the official statement, as long as you have a 5G mobile phone, you can still use the 5G network even if you do not apply for a 5G package, but the 5G package has a faster network speed; if you do not apply for a 5G package, the 5G network traffic will be deducted from the current 4G package. If the mobile phone only supports 4G, it cannot use the 5G network. This is a hardware limitation and there is no way to solve it.

5G

In fact, it was already implemented in some areas a year ago, but many users didn't know about it. This time, the official news from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is authoritative, and everyone can use it with confidence. Although the speed is not as fast as the launch of the 5G package, compared with the current 4G network, the 5G network speed of the ordinary package was sufficient. Many ordinary consumers also applauded this policy. If there is no special demand, this plan should be the most suitable.

User Reviews

After actual testing, some cities of China Mobile and China Unicom can already use 5G networks smoothly, and the speed is satisfactory. This is without a 5G package. If you really need it and don't worry about the price, then the 5G package is obviously better because its upper limit of network speed is higher. However, everyone's usage scenarios are different, and 5G may not be of practical significance to some users. Now WIFI is used indoors, and the usage scenario of data traffic is generally used when going out for work.

Internet speed

It is indeed a good policy that you can use the 5G network without having to apply for a 5G package. It is good for users who are worried that the 5G package is too expensive but want to experience the 5G network. But think about it carefully. Although 5G development is a trend, the current market is not mature and stable enough. It will take more time to popularize it to the level of 4G today. By then, these packages will be reduced, and the three major operators will also launch more discounts to attract users.

5G of the three major operators

The smartphone industry has taken the lead in 5G deployment. As long as you have a 5G phone, you can enjoy a more efficient network speed experience, but this still needs to be viewed rationally. 5G has both advantages and disadvantages, and it still needs to be upgraded.
