My phone only catches 3G

I'm using a 5G data plan from At&t, but my phone only catches 3G ever since I've used a prepaid plan. 

Model: Samsung Galaxy A Quantum

Location: I have used At&t service in Detroit, MI, Chicago, Il, and Los Angeles, LA. In all locations, only 3G.

In order to get 5G you have to have a compatible phone. In your case you're using a phone which is not certified for use in the United States and is certainly not certified to work on AT&T.
