TrueMove 3G network is planned for an expansion to ensure that its coverage spans across the nation when the 3G license is officially granted. However, TrueMove 3G service is currently offered on a free of charge basis.
What should I do if I want to use TrueMove 3G service?
You need to have a 3G 850 MHz compatible mobile phone and a TrueMove Pre Pay or Post Pay simcard attached with a 3G priceplan/package.
How do I know if my phone supports 3G 850 MHz band?
Before buying a new phone, you should check with the dealer if the phone you want supports 3G 850 MHz band. For the phone you currently use, you can check it by inserting a TrueMove simcard and looking at the phone screen whether it has 3G signal or the alphabet “H” (HSDPA or HSUPA) on the top of the screen.

What should I do if I want to use TrueMove 3G service but I don’t have a 3G 850 MHz mobile phone?

Basically, it’s not that all mobile phones work on any band. Each 3G compatible mobile phone supports different bands. For example, if you have a 3G 2.1 GHz or 900 MHz or 2G mobile phone, you will not be able to use TrueMove 3G service because TrueMove offers 3G service on 850 MHz band.

If you want to enjoy TrueMove 3G service, it is recommended that you buy a 3G WCDMA 850 MHz mobile phone or visit any True Shops and ask for a 3G compatible mobile phone. True Shops also sell different smartphones that support different mobile platforms e.g. iPhone 3G/3GS, BlackBerry Bold 900/Bold 9700 and Motorola Milestone.
