Many Jio users have reported issues with 5G connectivity, particularly after updating their iPhones to iOS 16.6. Some users report that their Jio SIM cards, which previously supported 5G, no longer do after the update. Others have stated that even with a 5G-enabled phone and coverage in their area, their Jio eSIM doesn’t display 5G. Troubleshooting steps like changing network settings to 5G auto haven’t resolved the problem for some users.
Some users have suggested that the issue might be software-related, stemming from the iOS 16.6 update. They point out that their Jio SIM worked perfectly with 5G before the update, leading them to believe the update might have inadvertently removed certain SIM support parameters. However, others have observed that 5G works fine on iPhone 14 with Jio SIM even after the iOS 16.6 update, suggesting the problem might not affect all users uniformly.
Some affected users have been able to regain 5G access by replacing their SIM cards, sometimes incurring a fee from Jio. However, the lack of an official statement from either Apple or Jio regarding the issue and the inconsistent experiences among users have left many confused and frustrated. While resetting network settings has worked for some, others have found no solution through online forums or blog posts.
Jio users experiencing this issue have expressed frustration with the lack of clear information and support. They are seeking official communication from Jio and Apple acknowledging the problem and providing guidance. Some users question why they should have to replace their SIM cards if the problem originated from a software update.
While some users have found success with resetting network settings, this solution hasn’t been universally effective. Others have tried inserting different SIM cards into their phones, confirming that 5G works with other SIMs but not their Jio SIM. This further suggests a potential incompatibility between the Jio SIM and certain iPhone models after the iOS 16.6 update.
Users are asking if the problem lies with Jio’s network, a specific iOS update, or an incompatibility between the two. The lack of official acknowledgment from Jio or Apple continues to fuel speculation and frustration among affected users. They are left wondering if there’s a widespread Jio network problem or if the issue is limited to specific devices or software versions.
