2G, 3G, and 4G refer to the type of network. The higher the number, the more advanced the network.

• 2G or EDGE/GSM: calls, text messages, and basic internet surfing.
• 3G or HSPA/WCDMA: fast mobile internet for sharing photos, viewing videos, and downloading mobile apps.
• 3G Dual Carrier or HSPA+: an accelerated version of 3G, which is twice as fast as 3G.
• 4G or LTE: extremely fast mobile internet, up to ten times faster than 3G!

As standard, 4G is included in all JIM Mobile rate plans.
