1.If the Jio/Airtel app prompts that “your device does not support 5G”, the likely reason is that the particular model isn’t listed among the 5G-compatible models displayed on the operator’s system. For avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that this notification does not impact the actual functionality of your mobile phone for 5G usage as the actual synchronization with the network operator may take some time in few instances. Highly appreciate your support and understanding.
2.Failure to activate the VoNR (5G calling) service may affect 5G network registration during a call. Currently the VoNR service is only supported in some cities. Consult your carrier for details, after activating the VoNR service, the display of 4G or 5G during a call depends on the carrier’s network.
