Device compatibility with 2degrees frequency bands

We're starting to switch off 3G from late 2025 to enhance our 4G services and support the growth of 5G technology. Learn more.

• Band 8 (900 MHz) 
• Band 1 (2100 MHz) 

• Band 28 (700 MHz) – This is our main 4G coverage band. A device that does not support this band will have limited 4G coverage in certain geographic areas. This is particularly important in rural areas. 
• Band 3 (1800 MHz) 
• Band 1 (2100 MHz) 
• Band 8 (900 MHz) 

n78 (3500 MHz)

Note: Phones purchased from overseas or parallel imported may not support all of the required bands, so it’s best to check with your reseller or the device manufacturer directly.  

A frequency band is like a lane on a highway, but for radio waves. Your phone connects to cell towers using these invisible waves, and each band is like a different lane used for 3G, 4G or 5G traffic.

Different bands behave in different ways:

• Lower frequency bands (for example, 700 MHz)
  Travel further and pass through walls more easily. These are great for everywhere, especially rural areas and indoor coverage. 
• Higher frequency bands (for example, 3500 MHz)
  These are ideal for busy urban areas, but they do not travel as far
