Wingo Mobile new with 5G option

Also interesting is the possibility of being able to cancel the 5G option at any time after the minimum contract period of 30 days has expired.

Is it Easter already today?

How long have I waited…

5G activated, and then for life 😀

I have booked the option. However, notice that the battery consumption with activated 5g is massively higher than directly with Swisscom. Does anyone else have this?

Wingo is basically Swisscom, that can’t really be the case. What kind of device do you have?

@Sc00by

How long does the battery last if it is 100% charged in the morning and then in the evening at 8:00 p.m.

In my opinion, the provider should have no influence on battery consumption with 5G.

Is the “5G Automatic” option set under Settings\obilfunkt\language&data?

@WalterB with Wingo SIM and 5g the battery is around 30%, with the Swisscom SIM it’s a good 50.

I set @millernet like this.

Is the iPhone up to date? There was an update to iOS 16.4.1 a few days ago. Recently, users have been having battery problems due to iOS updates, especially at the beginning with iOS 16! As a test, you can deactivate 5G on your iPhone for a day. If the battery consumption is still higher than usual, it’s not the 5G problem.

Yes, iOS 16.4.1 is on it. I forgot to mention this, but I already did: when I go back to 4g, the battery consumption is back to normal with the same usage. That’s why I suspect that there is still a problem with Wingo on the 5g.

Now I would just have to replace my slightly older smartphone (iPhone 11) in order to benefit from the Wingo 5G option, but well, there is this option.

So far I’ve gotten through very well with 4G. As a direct comparison: I have an iPhone 13 from the store (which supports 5G), unfortunately the company is with the wrong provider: We have Sunrise Business contracts, which supposedly include “5G high-speed internet”. In fact, the reception with Sunrise at home isn’t even enough for uninterrupted phone calls, and things don’t usually look much better when I’m on the go. With Sunrise at the home office location, 5G high speed means: 1-3 Mbit/s download (regardless of whether with 4G or 5G), for comparison with Wingo and “only” 4G usually around 230 Mbit/s. That’s why I’m actually very satisfied with the Wingo 4G.

For those for whom the 4G network is not fast enough, Wingo now also offers an upgrade in the form of a 5G option. I may check this at a later date (e.g. when the smartphone is replaced). Until now, 5G use was reserved for Swisscom customers, so it’s nice that Wingo customers can now also enjoy the option.

I also have a Swisscom prepaid number (so that I can officially write in this forum 😅), 5G would also be possible there with a corresponding option…
