5G is not available in Pakistan yet, but PTA has already issued guidelines on how you can ready your phone for the next-generation mobile network. This means that 5G is most likely ready to launch later this year.
However, only smartphones that support 5G will be able to connect to it.
Does Your Phone Support 5G?
Most Android phones that support 5G do have the word “5G” in their names. For Apple phones, all iPhones from 12 and above have support for it.
If you are unsure whether your phone supports 5G, you can simply head over to gsmarena and search for your handset. Check the top row, which is called “Networks”, and see if it has 5G support.
IPv6
If your phone does have 5G, you need to enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), which is the latest generation of Internet Protocol for improved connection quality, better internet speed, and many other advantages.
This is because 5G and IoT services will be rolled out on IPv6 connections, according to PTA’s instructions.
Smartphone users can enable #IPv6 on their handsets using the method mentioned at PTA website: (https://t.co/xAw5GpyPuU). Fixed broadband users can also get it configured through their respective service providers.

How to Enable IPv6
Enabling IPv6 on Android smartphones is quite easy. For Samsung handsets, simply head to your phone’s settings and tap ‘Connections’. From here, go through Mobile networks > Access Point Names > Ufone (or other networks). Scroll down to ‘APN protocol’ and select ‘IPv4/IPv6’.
For other OEMs, such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Infinix, etc, you might have to find mobile network settings or SIM settings, but the general path is the same. For dual SIM phones, select the SIM you use for mobile internet and follow through the settings mentioned above.
Once you’re done enabling IPv6, your phone is ready to use 5G in the future.
5G aya ni Pakistan mai or ye chuss post pehly sy agyi.. bsdi walo pehly 4G to ki coverage to do👏🏼
“5G is not available in Pakistan yet, but PTA has already issued guidelines on how you can ready your phone for the next-generation mobile network. This means that 5G is most likely ready to launch later this year”
any guidelines for 6G or 7G so to stick with this post
ProPakistani! A monster that feeds on misleading readers. Internet Protocol has nothing to do with 5G. Even the Public Organization like PTA knows that, and has no where in their press release mentioned it. Stop spreading bullshit.
It was on their SMS alerts as well as their Twitter account
PTA famous for making fun of itself. Country on the verge of collapse can’t even afford to maintain the 4g infrastructure and they are thinking of 5g when people are struggling to make ends meet.
Wahoo Amazing 👍👍
Shoro 5G enabled device b honi chahiye…
