When developing LG K71 3G (3d Generation Mobile), it’s been considered to utilize 2G network so we can benefit from this prior network. However, the prime target to be created is to grant 3G LG K71 a high speed wireless communication regardless of the data form whether it is multimedia, video, or voice.
LG K71 3G Availability
Please know that 3G function is available on LG K71.
How To Setup 3G on LG K71?
To switch On/Off 3G on LG K71 follow these steps:
1) Choose Settings,
2) Tap Network & internet,
3) Hit Mobile networks,
4) Select Network mode,
5) Select GSM / WCDMA auto to activate 3G.
Steps to Know LG K71 3G Availability
Because these two manners are working on both iOS and Android operating systems, we can consider it as the main ways to identify if LG K71 3G network is available or not.
Way-1
There is an icon on the top of the LG K71 refers if 3G network is available or not.
Way-2
To identify if your LG K71 supports 3G network or not, you can use this manner:
1) Dial *#06# on your phone to identify LG K71 IMEI number.
2) Browse www.imei.info, write your IMEI number and select Check.
3) You’ll see a report. Look at the LTE section – it will display all the frequencies that are supported by your LG K71. 3G service works on the 2100MHz frequency, so if you see the number 2100, then your LG K71 is 3G compatible.
Please note that you can always check the phone’s user guide.
Note: LTE Option on mobile settings commonly refers to 4G network.
LG K71 3G – More Terminology
What is LTE?
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband communication used for handhelds devices and data terminals. Here are Its frequencies:
* 3G networks: 900 MHz and 2100 MHz (band 1 and 39).
* 4G networks: 800 MHz (band 20), 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz (band 7 and 38).
* 5G networks: 700 MHz (band 28) and 3500 MHz (band 78).
Note: LTE Option in mobiles settings generally refers to 4G connections.
MHz Meaning:
MHz (Megahertz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including handheld phone communications.
Band Meaning:
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, defined by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, broadly we are using bandwidth term to refer to the capacity of a network.
