Adjust Preferred Network Type

Open your phone’s Settings app → Network & Internet → Sim Card & Mobile Network. Select your Airtel sim, then tap Preferred Network Type. Switch from 4G to 5G Preferred—this is the first critical step the video emphasizes.

Pro tip: Ensure your phone is 5G-compatible. Most 2022+ models support it, but older phones may not. Check your device specs if unsure.

Reset APN to Default

After adjusting the network type, go back to Sim Card & Mobile Network → Access Point Names (APN). Tap the three dots in the top-right corner and select Reset to Default. This updates your APN to Airtel’s latest 5G configuration, fixing connectivity issues.

Airtel Xstream Sign-Up

Open the Airtel Xstream app or visit airtelxtream.in and sign up using your Airtel number. This step links your sim to Airtel’s 5G services, as mentioned in the video.

Choose the Right 5G Plan

Not all plans work for unlimited 5G. The video specifies plans like 349 INR or 398 INR are valid, while smaller plans (1GB/1.5GB) won’t activate 5G. Recharge via the Airtel Thanks app to get unlimited data.
