You can select which network modes your mobile phone can use, eg. 3G or GSM. Your choice determines the data speeds you can achieve.
Slide your finger down the display starting from the top edge of your mobile phone. Tap the settings icon.
Tap Mobile data.
Tap Network mode.
Tap 3G only, 2G only, 2G/3G auto or 2G/3G/4G auto.
3G (UMTS) or 4G (LTE) enables you to achieve higher data speeds than when using 2G (GSM). If you select 3G only, your mobile phone can only connect to 3G networks. If you select 2G only, you can't achieve high data speeds. If you select 2G/3G auto, your mobile phone automatically switches between 3G and 2G provided you're within range of a 3G network. If you select 2G/3G/4G auto, your mobile phone automatically switches between the three network modes provided you're within range of a 3G or 4G network.
