Hello. I am currently on the free trial, so I can see how the service worked in my area. I noticed that I am mostly seeing the LTE icon. I also see the 5G, although much less. I contacted VISIBLE yesterday to inquire why I am never see the 5GUWB, as their website says this is available in my area. I was told the FREE TRIAL does not provide this service, so I cannot assess this using the free trial. My question is, if I am seeing LTE most of the time, is there any reason that you can think of to get the higher priced plan after the trial? Although I would not know if I can get 5GUWB unless I purchase the $45 plan, does it not seem unlikely that I would even have that service, since I am seeing LTE most of the time now, instead of regular 5G? I am trying to understand this, in order to make a logical decision. I know these plans are not expensive, but for the next few months, I need to pay for a plan with another carrier, so I am trying to watch expenses. Another issue too, is the way the $45 plan works: 5GUWB is not slowed down at all, but lesser speeds are after 50MB. So this is a central feature of the $45 plan. Thank you for any feedback that you may provide.

I know very little about 5G and 5G UW since I am in a 4G LTE area. You can get 5GUW on your phone on the trial/base plan but it won't show it as such, from what I have read it is the c-band which I believe is band N77. Also from what I know UW is more line of site and inside buildings it may be a lot harder to pull in that signal.
The plus plan does give 50GB of 4G LTE and 5G premium data and once used you would be deprioritized, basically the base/trial plan. If you can pull in the 5GUW that does not count towards your 50GB allotment.
