Please add pixel phones to 5G SA compatiblity list

Hello,

Pixel phones have been 5G SA compatible for ages. When can customers expect their pixel phones to be supported by Sunrise’s 5G SA? I’m using a pixel 9 pro, and telling me I need to get a “more modern device” is just blatant upselling BS.

Which subscription do you have?
Apparently SA often works also with non-supported devices, but the subscription has to support it.

I would make no sense Sunrise support different sets of devices depending on the subscription. On my connected Sunrise customer portal (they display what device I am currently using), they started advertising 5G SA support (i.e. so my subscription is in scope), and referred to a list of currently supported devices (Samsung mainly, zero pixel phones).

I have the unlimited Sunrise x QoQa subscription. Probably doesn’t make a difference anyway.

There are subscriptions which do support SA (like yours apparently) and those which don’t.
But in those subsriptions which sopport SA, sometimes also non-supported devices work.
See the 5G-SA thread.

thanks very much for the link. Missed it since I don’t speak german. ChatGPT was useful in summing up and translating back to english. To put it simple: what a clusterfuck of a premature announcement 😅
