It is natural to feel frustrated if you don't get the expected internet speeds after purchasing a 5G smartphone and opting for an expensive recharge plan. However, the issue often lies not with the phone or the plan, but with the 5G coverage in your area. Therefore, before getting a new connection or traveling, it is wise to check which company offers 5G network coverage in that location.

We often rely on the network bars displayed on our phone screens, but they do not reveal the full picture. Since you cannot physically visit every location to check the network yourself, major telecom companies like Jio, Airtel, and Vi offer excellent tools on their websites to check 5G network coverage.

How to check 5G coverage for Jio:

1. First, visit Jio's 'Coverage Portal'.

2. In the top-left corner of the screen, you will find options to select 4G+5G, 5G, or 4G based on your preference. Click the '5G' button to view 5G coverage specifically.

3. Enter your area's PIN code or full address in the search box.

4. Alternatively, you can grant GPS permission and tap the 'Use your current location' button.

What is the process for Airtel users?

1. Visit Airtel's network coverage portal.

2. Click on the green '5G' button to view Airtel's 5G coverage.

3. Just like with Jio, enter your address or PIN code, or use your live location to get accurate information.

How to check Vi (Vodafone-Idea) coverage?

1. Visit Vi's official coverage portal.

2. Select the network you wish to check from the drop-down menu located in the bottom-left section of the screen.

3. Enter your address or PIN code in the search box, or use your live location to easily check the 5G coverage in your area.
