does the sim support 5g which operator is best for 5g ?

5G support depends on two things: your operator and your phone model. Even if your plan is 5G-enabled, your device must support India’s 5G bands and your location must have 5G coverage.

Operator-wise 5G availability

Jio: Highest 5G coverage (True 5G SA)

Airtel: Strong 5G in metros (5G NSA)

Vi (Vodafone Idea): Limited 5G rollout

BSNL: No 5G available yet

Device requirement

Your phone must support Indian 5G bands such as:

n28

n78

n258 (mmWave, where supported)

Tip: Even with a 5G SIM, your phone may switch to 4G if coverage is weak or if your device doesn’t support the local 5G band.
