New Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced FAQ

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced. For additional help, visit your local Microsoft Store. See store locations >

What is LTE?

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution and is a 4G wireless broadband standard. It's the fastest wireless network for smart devices available. Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced can reach 4G speeds based on carrier and coverage areas.

Do all Surface Pro (5th Gen) devices support LTE?

No, only the Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced, Intel Core i5/256GB SSD/8GB RAM model supports LTE connectivity.

Which carriers support LTE?

Most major carriers support LTE. Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced also has an option to use an embedded SIM card (eSIM), which permits customers to subscribe to Transatel by going through the Microsoft Store.

What SIM card do I need for my device, and where do I get it?

You can purchase a Nano SIM card through your mobile operator. Or, you can use the embedded SIM (eSIM) that comes built into Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced.

What's the difference between Nano SIM and eSIM?

A Nano SIM is a small physical card that fits into your device identifies what type of plan it's using based on a profile. An embedded SIM (eSIM) is embedded on your device's motherboard or part of the processor—there's nothing to insert and nothing to remove.

How do I connect my device once the SIM is ready?

Select the "Network" icon on the lower right of the taskbar, and then select the cellular network in the list. If the "Let Windows manage this connection" checkbox is cleared, select "Connect". If the checkbox is selected, you'll get connected to cellular data automatically when you're not connected to another type of network, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

I'd like to use eSIM. How does it work?

If you don't have a specific LTE carrier, or don't plan on using your existing Nano SIM, you can select the eSIM provided with your Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced.

How do I know if I'm getting LTE?

Your device will display a banner at the top of the screen to notify you of your network coverage. A network indicator will be displayed based on network coverage and device type, and switches between Wi-Fi and LTE networks automatically almost anywhere.

Review title of andrewSurface Pro Screen Flicker issue

A word of warning. I have a surface pro 4, and like many others (see the link) I loved it until, not long after warranty expired, the screen developed a temperature-related flickering issue. Despite thousands of posts on the answers site, Microsoft have not replied to this significant bunch of users - many of them previously Surface evangelists - leaving them high and dry with a doorstop rather than a usable computer. My impression is that the current Surface Pro also suffers from this issue. Microsoft may wish to comment on that here - in fact it would be great if they did. I offer the link below because it's instructive reading. I can't recommend this as a good buy, however great the basic computing experience is (and yes, it's really good). You may get lucky, you may not. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro4-surfdrivers/surface-pro-4-screen-flickering-shacking/570165cb-50a0-4d71-bcb1-310ddd869d1d

Review title of HarryBig Mistake

My screen started to flicker after six months of limited use. I shipped it out for a replacement under warranty and after a more than a month of no update I decided to contact support. They acted as if it was never received. They then realized there was some system issue and it was "stuck in processing". I continued to receive emails every couple weeks telling me that their team was working on it. After four months of waiting and an angry call, I was told it would be shipped immediately, and I wouldn't be compensated for my wait in any way. It took four months to simply ship a replacement. Disgraceful. I loved my surface before the issues and terrible customer service. This is a really nice product, but god help you if there are any problems.

Review title of BryanNice laptop! or Is it a tablet?

Is it a laptop or is it a tablet or is it both? Well I can tell you this- tablet or laptop depends on what you are using it for. I'm a Mortgage Loan Processor and I'm a big fan of compact powerful devices like the iPad's that I have in the present and in the past but one thing is that iPad's can't use Internet Explorer and that's why I got the SP2017 from Best Buy. They had a sale for the SP2017 i5/4GB/128GB memory for $699.99. If you buy a hybrid like the SP you need to buy the keyboard as well and you shouldn't buy this tablet thinking "maybe I'll get it later" bc in order for you to use this like a laptop then you'll need the keybaord. It's pretty useless if you just buy this as a tablet and not purchase the keyboard bc you may as well purchase the iPad Pro which is faster and much easier to use but if you need it for it's native software and practicality then you need the keyboard. I use this laptop/tablet everyday and I don't have any issues. I can do all my work right here.

Review title of JimDisplay Went Bad in Less Than Two Days

I was looking for a lightweight tablet or laptop to take with me to meetings and when I was on the road. I looked at iPads and Samsung tablets but wanted something that ran Windows. The Surface Pro looked perfect so I bought one and got the keyboard cover as well. Everything was fine for a day-and-a-half, but this morning the screen started flickering and horizontal lines appeared on the bottom half of the display. I also get a shadowy mirror image of the top half of the screen on the bottom half. The Surface Pro is nice but the quality is extremely poor. It should have lasted more than two days. So, this is going back to the store this evening and I will look for something else. Microsoft developed a well-designed product but really blew it with the build quality. I am extremely suspect of Microsoft hardware now.

Review title of ChristopherUnrepairable - Poor Engineering

I used to love my Surface Pro.. Until the 3 in 1 integrated chip that hosts the WiFi, Bluetooth, and Miracast went out... Now it’s an unrepairable paperweight. Microsoft will not help you with this known defect in engineering once your warrantee runs out. So if you own one or plan on purchasing a Surface Pro, enjoy it while it last. It will not be too long. My chip went out the month after my warranty expired. Never buying a MS piece of hardware again.

After taking good care of the Surface for 2.5 years, it stop working. The screen is all black even though the computer may be on because it is warm. I took it to the Microsoft store and they told me most likely it was the graphics chip that cannot be fixed. They offered me to give me a new one for $450... Crazy. I had a protection plan that expired 6 months ago for which I paid almost $200 that was totally useless. I am absolutely disappointed.

Be prepared to carry software and hardware backups (notebook) with you when traveling and/or relying on a MS Surface Pro. Surface Pro (version 1796) is unreliable. It crashed (blue screen - hardware error) after 4 months of operation. The replacement is a filthy and re-furbished unit. Disappointing. Accessories (cover, pen, screen protector, etc.) are very expansive and (unfortunately) required. Screen is annoyingly reflective. Not as responsive or user friendly as an iPad, which I wanted to replace. So sad.
