3G is the third generation of wireless network technology that provides more speed bandwidth (high data transfer rates) to cellular devices. Although it has been put to extensive use in business market, vivo V5 3G technology was designed originally for the mobile phones market.
Does vivo V5 Work on 3G Network Mode?
Please know that vivo V5 has 3G function.
Switch ON 3G on vivo V5

Way-1
There is an icon on the top of the vivo V5 screen indicates if 3G network is available or not.
Way-2
To identify if your vivo V5 has 3G network or not, you may use this manner:
1) Dial *#06# on your mobile to get vivo V5 IMEI number.
2) Explore www.imei.info, then write your IMEI number and choose Check.
3) You’ll see a report. Look at the LTE section – it will display all the frequencies that are supported by your vivo V5. 3G service runs on the 2100MHz frequency, so if you see the number 2100, then your vivo V5 is 3G compatible.

* 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.
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.
Understanding 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 expression to refer to the capacity of a network.
