How to Check if your Mobile Phone is 3G Supported or Not

You can easily check to see if you have a signal on your phone by looking at the signal bar on the top right hand side of your phone. If you have a signal, the bars will be white and you'll know if you have 3G coverage because you'll see a 3G icon next to the signal bar.
Typically, carriers "bake" indicators that show up in the notifica
tion bar of most smartphones. I see a "3G","4G" or "4G LTE" in my status bar if my mobile data is turned on and I am NOT connected to Wi-Fi. 
Most phones are designed to automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network when available, overriding a mobile data connection. And if you own such a phone then you need to enable 3G before you can enjoy the perks of newly born 3G service in Pakistan.
How can I check if my handset is compatible with 3G?
Go into your phone’s network settings and see if it has options to enable any of the below listed features – if it does then your phone is 3G supported:
  1. 2G= Edge
  2. 3G=HSPA
  3. 4G=HSPA+
  4. 4G with LTE at bottom =LTE 
To enable 3G, select any of the following in the “Network Settings” or “Mobile Networks” on 3G supported handsets :
  • GSM/WCDMA (auto) mode
  • 2G + 3G mode
  • GSM / UMTS mode
  • Dual Mode
