What About Sim Card Upgrade???

We Must Upgrade Sim Card Right?? To Use 5G??

Not for Airtel and Vi as they have NSA networks. We will have to see what Jio does.

4G sims are compatible with NSA 5G which will ride on the 4G network as a base layer but for SA 5G it might need a separate one. When Jio first launched 4G network they didn't know whether they will go for NSA or SA deployment.

Let's hope for the best I don't want to stand again in queue.
