Both, where the partner network supports them.

  • 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) overlays 5G radio on an LTE core. It's the most common 5G deployment worldwide as of 2026.
  • 5G Standalone (SA) uses a full 5G core, enabling network slicing, ultra-low latency, and better power efficiency on the device.

What you'll see

  • On NSA: status bar shows 5G while the LTE control plane is still active. Speeds are 5G-fast.
  • On SA: status bar may show 5G+, 5G UC, or similar. Speeds and latency are notably better.

Openline routing works transparently across both. Your device chooses the best mode available.

Reach Openline support 24/7 through any of these channels:

When you write in, include your purchase code (the OL-… code we emailed you) and, if the eSIM is already installed, its ICCID (Settings → Cellular → tap the Openline line). That's enough for us to find your plan and diagnose without back-and-forth.
