Hi All,

 

My ma hates mobile phones and wants control over her 5g exposure! Can I switch 5g off and on with a Koodo Samsung Galaxy S21? I know KooDo isn’t on any 5g networks but want to be able to assure her she won’t have any 5g transmission if she doesn’t want it.

Thanks!

Ben

Your mother should not need to worry about this. The phone may have 5G capabilities, but the Koodo network only extends to LTE at this time. It will only work on the 4G network, as it does not offer any service on the 5G network. https://choosehappy.koodomobile.com/network/

I didn’t have a S21. However from a report in the forum, the Koodo firmware didn’t have the 5G toggle as if it didn’t exist in the phone.
