Not getting 5g

I've been on several 5g ready phones in the past few years, I'm on s22 ultra with a 5g plan with all settings on the phone correct but have never seen a 5g signal even if standing next to a 5g mast.

 

I've tried all the suggestions like restarting and airplane mode etc.

It seems like it's some issue on Vodafone's side?

Thank you for your update.

As I mentioned one does need to be pretty close to a 5G module and in optimum conditions.

From PedroC1999 "Phones do not latch onto the strongest signal.They follow the network assigned procedure, hence why it's not uncommon to be connected to a weaker signal than is strictly available "

I am glad the Social Team were able to clarify this for you @ashall3n 

 

I always know Ofcom are able to offer some interesting information, the article here mentions how networks will be  adding smaller transmitters.  Ofcom - 5G mobile technology: a guide
