3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology, superseding 2G, and preceding 4G. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of standards under the International Mobile Telecommunications programme, IMT-2000.

3G technologies enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment. Additional features also include HSPA data transmission capabilities able to deliver speeds up to 14.4Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8Mbit/s on the uplink.

Answer 9

3rd generation

Answer 10

It means that the cell uses 3g service, which is provided by the company. So when that phone uses any internet related services it runs very quickly. 3g is alot faster than other services.

It doesn't mean 3rd generation. The iPhone 3g is only the 2nd generation iPhone.

And it's not 3 gig.
