Back to changing cell providers. Boost seems fine to me. Their price is competitive. My billing is set up. Bottom line, for convenience alone I will not be changing companies.
The iPhone 7 cannot work on 5G you need at least an iPhone 12 or later.

Iphone 3 and 4 cannot run on a 5G network. Iphone 6 and above can be made to run on 5G network (requires latest Apple software and new SIM card) but will run at 4G. This is the extent of my knowledge on the subject.

The modem in the phone has to be 5G capable, only the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 have this.

From Apple:

Use 5G with your iPhone
iPhone 13 models and iPhone 12 models work with the 5G cellular networks of certain carriers. Learn how to use 5G cellular service.

What you need
An iPhone 13 model or iPhone 12 model
A carrier that supports 5G
A 5G cellular plan1
If your new iPhone comes with a physical SIM or eSIM, use that SIM. If not, use the SIM card from your previous iPhone. In some cases, you need to contact your carrier to set up the SIM card from your previous iPhone for use with a 5G network.

I suspect that it is my most recent hearing aids. These things keep getting smaller and have more applications and features. I actually disabled a feature that seemed to be unhelpful in my circumstances. There is a "tap" application that you can use to answer a phone or change a hearing program or what you are listening to as music or a podcast. It is too sensitive, and it doesn't work well with eyeglasses and masks because you are always doing false taps if you touch your glasses or mess with a mask.

iPhone 12, as it was taking me too long to check-in using the QR codes as we have had to do with the pandemic response. It took a bit of getting used to with all the swiping features. But at least I haven’t had to get embarrassed holding up the queues at Kmart etc!

A Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G phone.
Upgraded after six+ years of faithful service from an LG Stylo.

Also upgraded my seven year old Roku 3 to a Roku Streambar.


Toying with getting a Samsung smart watch in the next month or so.
