Handset supports fastest data speeds in both 900MHz and 2100MHz areas*.

Ideal for metropolitan and regional coverage
The Optus 3G Network uses both UMTS 2100MHz and 900MHz spectrum bands reaching 96%^ of the Australian population. The advantage of the 900MHz spectrum band is its ability to travel further from a single base station, which makes it well suited to deliver mobile services to regional areas of Australia.

To access the wider regional coverage provided by the 900MHz frequency, you can select from a range of great dual band mobile phones – just look for our 3G Dual Band or 3G Dual Band Fast HSDPA symbols.

Ideal for metropolitan areas
As at December 2008, the 2100MHz frequency reaches 80% of the Australian population. It is available in all Australian capital cities and selected major regional centres. It is designed to provide excellent coverage and data speeds in busy, built-up areas.

There are a wide range of 3G 2100MHz handsets available to suit your mobile voice and data requirements. These are identified by the 3G or 3G Fast HSDPA symbols.

When using a 3G/2100MHz handset outside 2100MHz Network areas, you will roam seamlessly on to the Optus 2.5G network and be able to make voice calls, send SMS and MMS, and access data services at a reduced speed.

It is recommended that customers wishing to access high speed data services in regional areas upgrade to a 3G Dual Band mobile phone.
