Buzz

Currently, users in Vietnam can access 4G services from some network providers undergoing trials. However, the main concern is not about 4G tariffs, speed, or coverage but whether the phone supports 4G. So how do you know this? How to check?... Please refer to the following content for details.

Looking back on over a decade of technological development, we can see significant progress in both general technology and mobile data transmission technology, with several generations including 2G, 3G, and now 4G.

4G networks have been extensively researched worldwide and have been adopted by many countries. In Vietnam, Viettel has recently conducted trials in Vung Tau. 4G inherits and enhances the technological values of previous systems such as 2G, 3G, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.20, IEEE 802.22, pre-4G, RFID, and UWB, providing a vast wireless connectivity network with fast data processing speeds.

For the convenience of Mytour.vn users, we present two different methods. You can refer to either method, or if you prefer to be cautious, you can apply both at the same time.

1. Check by phone brand/model

+ Samsung (S6 EDGE): Settings => Mobile networks => Network mode => LTE/WCD-MA/GSM.

+ Nokia Lumia 930: Settings => Mobile network+SIM => Highest connection speed => 4G

2. Check via IMEI number

- Press *#06# to get your IMEI number, then access here to check device information. If there is LTE information, it means 4G support.

Additionally, we also noticed some budget-friendly 4G models available in the market such as Samsung Galaxy J2, Lenovo A2010, Motorola Moto E Gen 2; if using any of these models, users can be assured and can use 4G when officially provided.

If you are using Viettel services, you can also refer to the method of registering for Viettel 3G to receive advantages in pricing and usage speed.
