It's likely a whitelisting issue, and so far there doesn't seem to be any fix.

  • Some Pixel 9 Pro Fold users have reported issues getting 5G to work properly on AT&T’s network, with users limited to LTE speeds only.
  • Customer service has been unable to fix the issue so far for those affected, though some were able to temporarily get 5G to work by swapping their SIM card between two devices.
  • It is likely a whitelisting issue, though it remains unclear if this is something that will be easily fixed or if affected devices will need to be returned to Google.

Have you encountered issues activating the new Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold on AT&T’s network? You’re not alone. It seems some new owners are having trouble getting 5G to work, as detailed in a growing Reddit thread.

While unlocked Pixel 9 Pro Fold devices work on AT&T’s network, it appears that users are limited to LTE or, at best, 5Ge — which is just a marketing term for AT&T’s fastest LTE bands.
