Okay, there is one way to test for JIO users or any users in particular if you are on SA or not.

  1. Dial *3001#12345#* and hit call.
  2. You’ll enter field test mode. Under 5g>NrConnectionStats
  3. Check “connection_type” and see if you have “SA” against it, that would mean you are on standalone network when you see 5G on your network strength.


Only drawback is that now you cant force the iphone to look for SA with iOS 16.4 as they removed the toggle for many carriers.


Attaching a screenshot for reference
