It's a Google issue - they haven't whitelisted 48/Liffey Telecom as a valid 5G network.

You should contact Google and ask them why they won't whitelist 48/Liffey Telecom.

If it's an issue that's affecting you then you should maybe also contact Google and ask them why they haven't whitelisted 48/Liffey Telecom as an allowed 5G network.

I have same issue. Bought a Pixel 6a through the refurbed site here 3 months ago. My phone also only allows the LTE setting even though when I go into the internet settings 5G is selected. I also can't get roaming when I go to the North of Ireland where we have family. It's very frustrating.

I've put the relevant APN settings in via Bot Chat when I moved to 48 at the end of the summer but I've always had issues. Can't seem to get the time to fix it properly

You're not going to get 5G connectivity/mobile data speeds on your Google Pixel phone until Google whitelist 48/Liffey Telecom as an allowed 5G network.

It's been explained above and in this thread: 

• https://community.48.ie/t5/Internet/5G-on-Xiaomi-but-not-on-Pixel-7/m-p/61783

Contact Google and ask them why they block certain networks from 5G connectivity even when their phones are SIM free/unlocked for use on any network.

Regarding the roaming issue...

If your SIM predates January 2023 then a replacement may help:

If they don't then you'll just have to contact 48 support for further assistance.
