Telstra wholesale reseller, Kogan, 3G Mobile Phone and Mobile Broadband Coverage Maps

You'll see we've listed the frequencies for each of the network technologies below. The coverage area for different frequencies can differ, so remember to check whether your chosen phone or device will work with the frequencies available in your area using our online coverage checker.

GPRS

Frequencies: 900MHz | 1800MHz

GPRS is the first technology we offered allowing efficient and reliable data transfer over our 2G network. By today's standards it is significantly slower than more recent network technologies, so it's not recommended for services that rely on high speed data transfer (video streaming for example).

EDGE

Frequencies: 900MHz | 1800MHz

EDGE is a 2G technology capable of transmitting data at a faster speed than GPRS, but slower than 3G. If 3G is not available in your area, or you manually select GSM/2G in your phone, you'll be connected to EDGE in areas where it is available. If you do manually select GSM/2G, you'll still be able to make calls and send TXT messages over 2G, but data speeds will be noticeably slower than 3G.

3G

Frequencies: 900MHz (rural) | 2100MHz (metro) | 850MHz

3G allows a much faster data connection than GPRS or EDGE.

When using a 3G capable phone, it will automatically connect to 3G wherever available, unless you have manually selected GSM/2G only.

‘H’ (HSPA)

Frequencies: 900MHz (rural) | 2100MHz (metro) | 850MHz

HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) is a performance upgrade to 3G. HSPA allows a faster internet connection than our regular 3G network.
