Zero1 Mobile discussion thread

I think non of the ST MVNOs have switched to 5G SA yet. They are all still NSA+SA.

Yeah, nothing published on SA on ST Mvnos

Can anyone share how long the porting takes?
I just received and activated my Z1 SIM moments ago.

They took 2 weeks to send me my physical SIM.

when i ported from M1 to Zero1, it took 3 days. Port request was done late Wednesday evening and the signal from my M1 disappeared on Saturday morning.

 

[donetus]

Zero1 now officially states they give out the newer sim card that's compatible with 5G SA.
Vivifi thread says they got new sim cards (but that information isn't on the website).

i believe they might start sending this once they are on SA. When i checked with Zero1 support, they said that they're still on the NSA.

emailed z1 customer service again, they replied said the SIM i received only supports 5G NSA and not SA. There might be a need to change to SIM.

This is a conflicting response where i another cso said i will receive a 5G SA SIM and not need to swop when 5G SA is launched.

Probably some limitation in the existing 4g sim to communicate with the 5g SA cell.

There's alot behind the scenes when the initial hand shake goes through for the validation in order for you to get your data/calling/ sms working

Haha... esim best. All same.

4g esim? 5g esim?

 

[twosix]

4g esim? 5g esim?

Dunno leh, thought it should be ota update since it is "e".

I always get this message when I go in to the sim manager menu in Settings:

Yup. Mine always need to refresh and update esim, when I was using esim (circles, simba)

 

[shawniiex]

4g esim? 5g esim?

Yeah but the way the other guy says is there is a diff between NSA and SA sim which is just dumb.

Are you using Android or IOS? NSA is always a 4g SIM afaik .... 5g SA is a own dedicated network.

Android under SIM status can see.. Forgot the IOS code they always mentioned

Else download network cell info lite, you can see it is SA or NSA

When i signed up circles plan last month, it was a 4G plan with 4G esim.

Once i activated the line, the provided me a free 2 months 5G trial. I activated the 5G and they say need a 5G esim. So in the app, they issued me a 5G esim and my 4G esim was deactivated straight away.

Then I activated the 5G esim to use 5G SA networks.

 

[shawniiex]

Well anyway I just ported into vivifi. They gave me a 5g sim card but it's NSA on nPerf.

Here's to hoping I don't need to go change sim cards when they switch SA on.

Haha... esim best. All same.

Not according to Zero1, they specifically state that esim also 4G/5G difference.
But I would agree that it is crazy.

For my $3.30 plan, I got a physical sim that specifically states 5G ready, whatever that is supposed to mean.

 

[A7997A]

You sign up streamo freedom online is 5g included right?

Btw can I ask, is there an option to port in AFTER getting the sim card? Like in the app or website

Or need to select port in and input number during sign up online?

Need to select port in and input number during sign up.
Vivifi seems to have an option to do so later.

Sharing what Zero1 replied me on 5G SIM, 5G SA and Billing Cycle:

"Zero1 is currently operating on the 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) network. The 5G SA (Standalone) network is still in the trial testing phase and is targeted for rollout by end of December 2025."

"Your SIM card activated on xx Sep is fully compatible with our current 5G NSA network. Once the 5G SA network is officially launched, further updates will be shared. At that time, if a SIM replacement is required, we will provide instructions accordingly."

As good as saying they have no clue.
