No. BigPurplePhone does not use the 3G network.

3G has now been switched off in Australia. BigPurplePhone uses 4G instead — the network with the widest national coverage.

While 5G can offer faster speeds, it’s still limited in many areas and often comes at a higher cost. That’s why BigPurplePhone is built on 4G — for consistency, coverage, and reliability.

In short: no 3G, no gaps — just a strong, dependable 4G connection.
