Google Pixel phones now (Dec 2024) work with 5G on 48?

According to this post from @MariuszZ3470, the December 2024 software update for Pixel 8 Pro (and other Pixel phones?) finally allows 5G to work on 48 (presumably because Google now whitelists 48/Liffey Telecom for 5G access?).

Maybe Google Pixel phone users on 48 can clarify if this is the case after they apply the latest update? 

Also ensure that your APN settings are configured correctly by texting "APN" to 50048 and following the instructions here:

If you need to contact 48 support about this then see the links in my signature below.

After latest December 2024 update my Pixel 8 pro is connecting to 5g. Carrier version settings is 48_ie-62000000001.13 2024-08-29.

Thanks a lot for this and for your other post @MariuszZ3470.

Hopefully this will help other Google Pixel phone users on 48 to benefit from 5G mobile data access now.

How come I've updated everything, I have the same carrier version, 5G sim, but the 5g is not available ( network preference is on 5G)

I have a Pixel 7a and can confirm that 5G is now available

Thank you for the confirmation. Glad the Pixels are supported now.

The 5G plan would be perfect at €11.99.

The 5G plan is €12.99 not €11.99.

Are you definitely on the €12.99 plan which is the only one that supports 5G?

Is mobile data working at all? 

E.g. are you getting 4G?

Are your APN settings configured correctly? 

Maybe try deleting any configured APNs and configure the settings from scratch by texting "APN" to 50048 and following the instructions here: 

• https://community.48.ie/t5/The-Newsroom/APN-Settings-step-by-step-guide-for-50048/m-p/60689

If you still can't get 5G then you may need to contact Google support or a Google support forum.
