When creating Nokia 500 3G (3d Generation Mobile), it’s been considered to work with 2G network so we can benefit from this prior network. However, the prime target to be developed is to grant 3G Nokia 500 a high speed wireless connection regardless of the data sort whether it is multimedia, video, or voice calls.
Is 3G available on Nokia 500?
Please note that Nokia 500 has 3G function.
Switch ON 3G on Nokia 500
To switch On/Off 3G on Nokia 500 follow this way:
1) Select Menu
2) Tap Settings and Connectivity
3) Hit Network
4) Select Network mode
5) Choose 3G.
Main Ways to Identify If Nokia 500 Is 3G
Because these two manners are applicable on both iOS and Android operating systems, we can consider it as the main manners to recognize if Nokia 500 3G network is available or not.
Way-1
There is an icon on the top of the Nokia 500 screen refers if 3G network is available or not.
Way-2
To see if your Nokia 500 supports 3G network or not, you can use this way:
1) Dial *#06# on your phone to display Nokia 500 IMEI number.
2) Explore www.imei.info, then enter your IMEI number and select Check.
3) You’ll get a report. Look at the LTE section – it will show all the frequencies that are supported by your Nokia 500. 3G service works on the 2100MHz frequency, so if you find the number 2100, then your Nokia 500 is 3G compatible.
Please note that you can always check the phone’s user manual.
Note: LTE Option on mobile settings commonly refers to 4G network.

What is LTE?
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband connections used for handhelds devices and data terminals. Its frequencies as following:
* 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 networks.
What is MHz?
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.
Knowing More About Band:
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, restricted by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, broadly we are using bandwidth word to refer to the capacity of a network.
