Alfa 3G vs MTC 3G

i'm having a problem setting off my 3g i did exactly as they said on their website ( by they its mtc) i have a nokia c7 i got the 3.5 g sign on my phone but each time i try to go to a website it keep giving me "access denied " ( i tried to put the access point as the first priority and tried to make it the only access point on my phone and it did not work ) so if you have any idea about how to solve this problem i appreciate your help.

Tested and it's working in Zahle Area and Central Bekaa region.

partam wroteCan you get a call while browsing or downloading on 3G?will it pause or just disconnect?

On edge i am subscribed to "missedcall sms notification" so that i know who's been calling me.
They always get number not available when i'm browsing.

Yes, you can use data and voice at the same time on 3G.

Let's keep it simple then
Mtctouch:3.9G
Alpha:3.5G
We can discuss it from today till the 4G arrives to lebanon but,
That's what the machines indicate...No one can doubt it...
thanks

Faraya is now covered with HSPA+. If you want internet while skiing you've got it ;)
5mbps download. Tested and confirmed.

I'm curious to know what machines you are talking about.

hey bro, concerning that video, it's an old advertising trick, it's part of the manipulation of the advertising agency to compensate on the deficiency in the number...I heard that the campaign didn't do well... So don't believe thicks like that, anyway photoshop can do miracles :)
beside the video is out of FOCUS...

Hello all I donnu if someone had this problem - I have a nokia E71 - I made the setting as mentioned in MTC website to get (( 3G )) to E71 - but since I got the settings from MTC and started using internet I am only getting E letter - I thought it is a mater of my area but wherever I go I never get 3G sign and the connection is too slow as if it is WAP
any idea?

Does anyone know the exact type of 3G used by MTC in Lebanon ? It says on their website "3.9G" . Is it 3G 850/900/1900/200 ?

i think both mtc and alfa use the 2100 band

haidcar wrotei think both mtc and alfa use the 2100 band

Yes they're both using the 2100 band.

Hi there,
Anybody knows where I can find the exact frequency bands used by Alfa and mtc touch?
I found only the The Lebanese National Frequency allocation Table (LNFT) but there are no specifications about the bands used by Alfa and Mtc.
Someone can help?

In network settings choose "umts" rather than dual mode,
my friend has a nokia device and when choosing the dual mode it just takes "GSM" and the E (Edge) network is chosen.

Nokia.com :

""Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Network .

To select the network mode, select Network mode and Dual mode, UMTS, or GSM. In the dual mode, the device switches automatically between networks.

Tip:

UMTS enables faster data transfer, but may increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life. In regions close to both GSM and UMTS networks, selecting Dual mode may cause constant jumping between the two networks, which also increases the demand on battery power.""


hope this helps ;)
