5G not working well & how to opt out of 5xxxx messages?

[dinnyb]

I’ve recently changed to 5G and signal-coverage no better. Should I just revert to old 3G plan????
I also get texts from a 50000 number and want to stop, but to reply STOP won’t send. Anyone with any solutions? Thanks

What exactly do you mean by "signal-coverage no better"?

Do you mean the mobile data speeds? 

Or simply the signal strength/stability?

Where are you located? 

Are you sure that your APN settings are configured correctly?

Text "APN" to 50048 and follow the instructions to make sure that they are:

If you're having ongoing problems with the signal/connection then you should contact 48 support.

See the links in my signature below.

What do you mean? 

There is no 3G plan. 

All plans support 4G LTE.

The €12.99 plan also supports 5G.

48 doesn't allow texts to be sent to premium SMS 5xxxx numbers other than 50048.

See here:

You'll have to contact the sender directly and tell them to stop sending the texts. 

Failing that maybe blacklist the number on your phone so you don't see them?

Update: as of December 2024 48 DOES now support sending texts to Premium SMS 5XXXX numbers!
