Do I need upgrade SIM for 5G in new phone?

I had iPhone X. Replaced for iPhone 13pro. Transferred everything but the new phone wouldn’t connect cellular. So I put in old SIM card (from iPhone X). Everything seemed to work fine. However I cannot ever not ever have had 5G. Is this because I need my new SIM in the new phone?

u have been in areas where 5G is available and am pretty sure my settings are correct, please help

Possibly. Its down to your carrier wether they require a new sim to access 5G or not. Contact them directly and ask them if you need a new sim or if you may need to have your current service plan upgraded to use 5G.
