Perhaps your mobile operator doesn't support 5g onthe contract you
 have with them. Maybe there's no 5g service in your current
 location.
 
What's the phone make and model?
What operator and contract (or payg) service (name)?

 
It would help to know the exact part number of the phone.  eg for iPhones
it's written on the back as A1234,

It used to be. It can be tricky to workout the model number of an
 iPhone if you can't open it and look in 'About phone'. I've had
 to compare the pictures on wikipedia.

... for Samsungs it's often something like
SM-A123BC.  Usually engraved or on a label somewhere - on phones with
removable backs/batteries it can be under the battery.
 
Many phones come in different versions and the version for, say, China may
support different bands from the one for Europe or the US.
