What is 4G?

You may have heard about 4G lately in mobile adverts but have no idea what it is or what it means. If you're a mobile phone owner and you're wondering whether you should get 4G or not, then read on.

Like 3G But Better

4G is the next upgrade from 3G. 3G is essentially a way to access the internet through your phone provider, so that you can access the web from virtually anywhere. This can be very handy if you're on the go and want to pull up Google Maps, for example. 4G is the next step up, so it's like 3G but a lot faster. 4G internet speeds are fast enough that you can easily stream music and video on your mobile phone!

4G Or Wi-Fi?

Some phones and tablets come with 4G/Wi-Fi options and Wi-Fi only options. What's the difference? Wi-Fi can only be accessed by being in range of either a router or a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you've got wireless internet at home then your phone can connect to that using Wi-Fi to access the internet, and many businesses now offer free Wi-Fi services too that you can use. If you're not within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot however then you're out of luck and the only way to access the internet is with 4G.
