What is 3G coverage?

3G stands for third generation and it is a communication technology that allows you to access the internet on portable devices such as your mobile phone. 3G is also used to make telephone calls and send text messages.

3G came about because connection speeds were too low on the older 2G networks. This made it impossible to transfer large volumes of information necessary to do many things such as downloading movies and music.

We have provided an example of how 3G is used by millions of people all over the world.
Joe is woken by the alarm on his new HTC desire smart phone. He is greeted with an updated weather report (steamed via 3G), he then gets ready and sets of for work. His first job for the day is in Manchester at a new clients office. He uses his phone as a SatNav because he gets good directions and traffic updates (sent via 3G). He uses a mobile broadband dongle to get his laptop online (utilising 3G) at his customers office. After work he is able to Skype his auntie in Australia (broadcast over 3G) and have a face to face conversation with her.

The world runs smoother with our excellent 3G coverage

How to improve 3 signal

There are a number of steps you can try to improve your three signal. First try switching your phone off then on again to clear any software issues. You can try positioning the phone near a window or in a different room as thick walls act as a barrier to your phones 3 reception.
