content：Why Jio 5G Isn’t Working (And How to Fix It)

You’ve got a Jio SIM, recharged with a 5G plan, but your phone still shows 4G or LTE Plus? This is a common frustration for many Jio users. The video I analyzed breaks down a practical solution, and I’ll add extra tips to ensure you get true 5G unlimited data working quickly.

Pre-Requisites to Enable Jio 5G

Before you start, make sure you have:

  1. A 5G-compatible smartphone (check your phone’s specs if unsure).
  2. An active Jio SIM (with a 5G-eligible recharge plan like ₹198, ₹349, ₹899, or ₹1299—lower plans don’t include true 5G).
  3. The latest version of the MyJio app installed on your phone.

Step-by-Step Guide to Activate Jio 5G

Let’s walk through the process step by step:

1. Update or Install the MyJio App

Open the Play Store, search for MyJio, and either install it or update it to the latest version. Open the app and log in using your Jio number (OTP verification will be required).

2. Enable 5G via MyJio App

Scroll down in the MyJio app until you see the “True 5G Unlimited” section. Click “Get Started” and follow the prompts. The app will ask if your phone is updated—click “I Have Updated” if you’ve installed the latest software (if not, update your phone first).

3. Adjust Phone Network Settings

After activating via MyJio:

  • Open your phone’s Settings → Connections → Mobile Network.
  • Tap Access Point Names (APN) → select your Jio APN → click the 3 dots → Reset to Default. This fixes any APN issues blocking 5G.
  • Go back to Mobile Network → Network Mode → select “5G Preferred” (or similar option like “LTE/5G” depending on your phone).

Key Notes to Ensure Success

  • Phone Software Update: Old software can prevent 5G connectivity. Always keep your phone’s OS up to date.
  • Recharge Plan Check: Only specific Jio plans (like ₹198, ₹349) offer true 5G unlimited data. Verify your plan via MyJio app if unsure.
  • Restart Your Phone: After making changes, restart your phone to apply the settings properly.
