What is the technological background behind Mobitel 3G?

Mobitel 3G uses HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) technology which is one of the latest technological evolutions of the 3G platform. It offers data rates several times higher than what is offered by conventional 3G (UMTS) networks. HSPA combines the features of HSDPA ( High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA ( High Speed Uplink Packet Access) with which subscribers will be able to access data at speeds up to 7.2 Mbps Downlink and up to 1.9 Mbps Uplink, on devices supporting HSPA.

 

How do I activate Mobitel 3G?

 

If you are currently using a 2G SIM, your SIM will be automatically 3G enabled. However, you will require a 3G handset as with a normal 2G handset; you will only be able to use basic mobile services like Voice, Value Added Services and WAP. Check with your handset dealer for more information on handset compatibility.

 

Important note: If at any instant the phone requests a PUK1 code you could contact our Customer Service Consultants for assistance. Entering the PUK 1 code repeatedly will block the SIM card and might have to be replaced.

If you possess a 3G handset, simply call over at any one of our outlets and purchase your SIM, and enter into the wonderful world of M3.
