Which handsets are compatible with the 3G network?
Most smartphones are compatible with the 3G network but not every smartphone, despite its high price, will necessarily support all features of 3G. Manufacturers develop mobile stations with versatile features at their own discretion. Technically, R99, HSPA and HSPA+ supported handsets are compatible with the 3G network. Theoretically, all 3G-enabled smart devices should support voice & data with different speed levels, but not all handsets support video telephony service. Mobile applications like Skype can remedy such limitations.
How will I know if my handset is 3G compatible?
If you are in a Telenor 3G network area and your handset shows “3G” ,“H” or “H+” on the top of the screen next to the network signal bars, it means that the phone is 3G compatible and you can use 3G services. Subscribers must ensure that their phone settings are not set to ‘2G only’. There are 2 types of handsets – WCDMA (R99) & HSPA. WCDMA or R99 devices are 3G devices but support low 3G speeds. HSPA devices are high speed devices.
