3G Phone, Can I Still Use It?

My landline is playing up and Telstra dont seem to be able to fix it. In the meantime I have to make calls. I can buy a cheap 3G phone but can I still use it? I dont know anything about this. Thanks

    Yes 3G phones still work fine. I have an Alcatel Pixi 3.5 and can make calls and text.

  • thanks

  • I thought you were asking about the actual original 3G iPhone!

  • I just bought one cheap and some credit online and then Telstra turned up and fixed my home phone. So it will be my starter into the mobile world

      How can you not have a mobile phone?

    • Sounds like you wasted your money.

    I had only a tablet which I dont like but was essential for receiving sms. used my first app recently, dont like em but had to for deals Have never sent an sms only received

  • I had a mobile before smart phones came in

  • I thought you had to have the right 3G bands for Tls, Opt or Voda?
    850, 900 or 2100 Mhz.

    So a $30 4G phone would be more likely to cover all companies. Again check which bands are needed (I'm too lazy).

    • it arrived unassembled so going to take it to telstra this week, I bought it from them and start the 3G journey
