If you’d like to use your phone or device on a UK mobile network, you’ll need to make sure it supports the relevant frequency bands.

Nowadays, most mobile phones that are sold in the UK are designed to work on all UK networks providing the handset is unlocked. However, if you’re buying a mobile phone from outside the UK or if you’re buying special equipment like a 4G or 5G antenna, it can be useful knowing the frequencies and bands that are in use by each UK mobile network. This will allow you to make sure your device is fully compatible with the network.

In this article, we’ll look at the network frequencies and bands in use on UK mobile networks for 5G, 4G, 3G and 2G coverage. We’ll start with an overview of the market, before looking at each individual mobile network in more detail.

Overview of UK Frequency Bands

In the UK, numerous different frequencies and bands are used to power our mobile networks and to deliver coverage to our devices. To ensure your mobile phone or device will work correctly, you’ll need to make sure it supports the relevant bands and frequencies.

The most important bands and frequencies that your device should support are LTE bands 3, 7 and 20 for 4G coverage, WCDMA 2100 for 3G coverage and GSM 900 & 1800 for 2G coverage. In addition, you’ll need support for 5G NR band n78 if you’d like to access 5G coverage in the UK. Collectively, these are sometimes known as the “core” bands and frequencies in use in the UK.

In addition to the core bands and frequencies, there are numerous other bands and frequencies also in use. If your mobile phone or device has support for these “additional” bands, it may allow you to access coverage in more areas or to obtain faster download speeds on your device.

The following table shows an overview of the bands and frequencies in use across the UK. The most important “core” bands and frequencies are shown in bold: your device will need to support these to get decent nationwide coverage. “Additional” bands and frequencies are shown in italics – it’s optional for your phone or device to support these.

Coverage Provider 5G Bands 4G Bands 3G Frequencies 2G Frequencies
EE 5G NR Band n78 LTE bands 3, 7, 20, 1, 38 2100MHz 1800MHz
O2 5G NR Band n78 LTE bands 20, 1, 3, 8, 40 2100MHz, 900MHz 900MHz
Three 5G NR Band n78 LTE bands 3, 20, 1, 32 2100MHz –
Vodafone 5G NR Band n78 LTE bands 7, 20, 1, 3, 8, 32, 38 2100MHz, 900MHz 900MHz

If you’re using a different mobile network besides one of the big four providers, you’ll need to find out which coverage provider they use. For instance, BT Mobile and Virgin Mobile use coverage from EE whereas giffgaff and Sky Mobile use coverage from O2.

You can check the product description or manufacturer’s spec sheet to see which bands and frequencies are supported your device. Note this may sometimes differ depending on where you purchase the device so it’s important you find the details for the exact model of device you’re buying.

Frequency Bands: By Mobile Network

EE Coverage Bands

EEOn EE, your mobile phone or device will need to support band n78 (3500MHz) for 5G coverage and bands 3 & 20 (1800MHz & 800MHz) for 4G coverage. In addition, you’ll need support for 2100MHz to get coverage on 3G and support for 1800MHz to get coverage on 2G.

In lots of urban and suburban areas, EE has additional 4G coverage using band 1 (2100MHz), band 7 (2600MHz) and band 38 (2600MHz) LTE spectrum. Whilst it isn’t strictly necessary that your phone or device supports these extra frequencies, it will give you a more stable connection and higher download speeds in areas where this is switched on.

The following table shows a summary of frequencies and bands that are currently in use on EE:

EE Coverage TypeSupported Bands & Frequencies
5G Coverage
  • 5G NR Band n78 (3500MHz)
4G Coverage
  • LTE Band 3 (1800MHz)
  • LTE Band 7 (2600MHz)
  • LTE Band 20 (800MHz)
  • LTE Band 1 (2100MHz)
  • LTE Band 38 (2600MHz)
3G Coverage
  • 2100MHz
2G Coverage
  • 1800MHz

Check EE Network Coverage (ee.co.uk) →

There are also several other mobile networks that make use of EE coverage. These networks include ASDA Mobile, BT Mobile, Plusnet Mobile and Virgin Mobile. On these networks, you’ll get access to the same 2G, 3G and 4G coverage as customers on EE, with 5G coverage also being available on specific 5G price plans.

The following mobile networks use coverage from EE, and therefore require your phone or device to support EE’s frequency bands:

For more information, please read our full review of the coverage on EE. Alternatively, you can use EE’s coverage checker to see what is available in your area.

O2 Coverage Bands

O2 typically uses band n78 (3500MHz) for 5G coverage, band 20 (800MHz) for 4G coverage, 2100MHz for 3G coverage and 900MHz for 2G coverage.

In addition, there are some extra bands and frequencies also in use on O2 for both 4G and 3G coverage.

On 4G, you’ll find additional coverage in some areas on LTE band 1 (2100MHz), LTE band 3 (1800MHz), LTE band 8 (900MHz) and LTE band 40 (2300MHz). Having a phone or device that’s compatible with these bands should allow you to access more capacity and faster download speeds.

On 3G, additional coverage on 900MHz is available in some areas (mainly in rural locations). O2 uses this lower-frequency spectrum as the 900MHz signal can travel further than the 2100MHz signal.

The following table summarises the frequencies and bands that are currently in use on O2:

O2 Coverage TypeSupported Bands & Frequencies
5G Coverage
  • 5G NR Band n78 (3500MHz)
4G Coverage
  • LTE Band 20 (800MHz)
  • LTE Band 1 (2100MHz)
  • LTE Band 3 (1800MHz)
  • LTE Band 8 (900MHz)
  • LTE Band 40 (2300MHz)
3G Coverage
  • 2100MHz
  • 900MHz
2G Coverage
  • 900MHz

Check O2 Network Coverage (o2.co.uk) →

If you’re using giffgaff, Sky Mobile or Tesco Mobile, you’ll have access to the same coverage as customers on O2. This means your phone or device will need to support O2’s frequency bands to work properly on the service. Other mobile networks using coverage from O2 include the following:

For more information, see our full guide to coverage on O2 or see O2’s online coverage checker to see availability in your area.

Three Coverage Bands

In the UK, Three primarily offers 5G coverage on band n78 (3500MHz), 4G coverage on LTE bands 3 and 20 (1800MHz & 800MHz) and 3G coverage on 2100MHz. The 800MHz band 20 spectrum is only accessible on devices that support 4G Super-Voice on Three.

In addition to the above, Three also has some limited band 1 LTE coverage at 2100MHz. They are also currently in the process of rolling out band 32 supplementary downlink coverage (1500MHz SDL). It isn’t necessary for your phone or device to support both of these bands but it can help you to get better download speeds and performance.

The following table summarises the frequencies and bands in use on Three:

Three Coverage TypeSupported Bands & Frequencies
5G Coverage
  • 5G NR Band n78 (3500MHz)
4G Coverage
  • LTE Band 3 (1800MHz)
  • LTE Band 20 (800MHz)
  • LTE Band 1 (2100MHz)
  • LTE Band 32 (1500MHz)
3G Coverage
  • 2100MHz

Check Three Network Coverage (three.co.uk) →

Customers on iD Mobile, SMARTY and Superdrug Mobile will receive the same coverage as customers on Three. For this reason, your mobile phone or device will need to support Three’s bands and frequencies to work on these mobile networks.

Three doesn’t offer any 2G coverage in the UK.

For more information, see our guide to the network coverage on Three. You can also use Three’s online coverage checker to see what is available in your area.

Vodafone Coverage Bands

On Vodafone, 5G coverage in the UK uses band n78 spectrum (3500MHz). 4G coverage is normally available on band 7 and band 20 LTE (2600MHz & 800MHz), with 3G coverage available at 2100MHz and 2G coverage available at 900MHz.

In addition to the above frequencies, Vodafone has deployed additional 4G coverage in five further bands: band 1 (2100MHz), band 3 (1800MHz), band 8 (900MHz), band 32 supplementary downlink (1500MHz) and band 38 (2600MHz). Having a mobile phone or device that supports these bands will allow you to access further coverage and potentially higher download speeds. There is also some additional 3G coverage available at 900MHz in certain areas.

The following table summarises the frequencies and bands used on Vodafone’s UK network:

Vodafone Coverage TypeSupported Bands & Frequencies
5G Coverage
  • 5G NR Band n78 (3500MHz)
4G Coverage
  • LTE Band 7 (2600MHz)
  • LTE Band 20 (800MHz)
  • LTE Band 1 (2100MHz)
  • LTE Band 3 (1800MHz)
  • LTE Band 8 (900MHz)
  • LTE Band 32 (1500MHz)
  • LTE Band 38 (2600MHz)
3G Coverage
  • 2100MHz
  • 900MHz
2G Coverage
  • 900MHz

Check Vodafone Network Coverage (vodafone.co.uk) →

Customers on VOXI and Lebara Mobile will have access to the same coverage as customers on Vodafone. For this reason, you’ll need a mobile phone that’s compatible with Vodafone’s frequencies and bands.

For more information, see our Vodafone network coverage guide. Alternatively, you can use Vodafone’s online coverage map to see the types of coverage that are available in your area.

  • James said:

    Hi Ken, this is all really useful thanks. As Three technical couldn’t help me with my question, I wonder if you can? BroadandBuyer appear to warn about the compatibility of their (Poynting brand) external antennae with the frequency/bands used by Three 4G of 1400MHz/Band 32, and if I read yours right, this isn’t likely to be a factor given the frequencies/bands currently in use by Three, as my device should just prefer the 1800MHz/Band 3, 800MHz/Band 20, and 2100MHz/Band 1 – any thoughts please? Thanks in advance for the brainpick, if you have a charity of choice please let me know.

    • Ken replied:

      Hi James,
      Thanks for your comment. Yes, Three mainly uses band 20 (800MHz) and band 3 (1800MHz) for 4G. The band 32 coverage (1500MHz) is just supplementary downlink: it can give you faster speeds if available but is by no means required.
      Hope this helps,
      Ken

  • Peter Yates said:

    It would be useful to know how a phone decides on the band it will use for your call.
    Does each phone have a preferred band and then fallback if inadequate signal or automatically choose the strongest and can it change mid call if the band weakens.

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Peter,
      Thanks for your comment. Yes, this will be due to how your mobile network has set up their service. Within the setup for the network, they’ll configure the band priority which your mobile phone will then follow.
      Hope this helps,
      Ken

  • Paul said:

    Hi Ken,

    Do you know if Three/Smarty permit MiFi data devices to access Band 20? I’ve bought a little ZTE 971v to use in our camper and hoping to use Smarty for their value, but many of our frequented locations only have Band 20 according to cellmapper.

    Cheers

    Paul

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Paul,
      Great question! As far as I know, you should be able to access band 20 as long as your device is able to support it. That said, I haven’t tried it out myself, so I’d possibly test it out with a one-month SIM card from SMARTY if you want to make sure before you finally sign up.
      Ken

      • Paul replied:

        Cheers Ken, I actually already have a sim but unfortunately the ZTE device doesn’t show band info to confirm.
        From some other reading people have seen band 20 on LTE routers using three/smarty so I assume the mast can identify a data device and permit it.
        Still a grey area though as and any official info seems to say it needs a VoLTE compatible device. I’ll have to find an area served by a band 20 only mast and test.

  • Samantha said:

    Wow! This is an amazing post! It came up in a Google search, and I have bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks for the information. It allowed me to answer someone’s question about a 3G phone on Amazon (regarding whether or not it would work with a Vodafone pay-as-you-go SIM card) and sound like I actually knew what I was talking about, lol! I was like, “Yes, it should work because it is an unlocked 3G WDCMA phone that supports, among other frequencies, 2100 MHz and 900 MHz…” Thanks for allowing me to help someone and come across as smart today!

  • Mr StarTAC said:

    This explains so much. I’ve been going off information off 4g.co.uk and it contains completely incorrect information. It claims O2, Vodafone and EE all broadcast 2G on 900MHz and 1800MHz.

    I fix up older phones from the 90s that are single band, mostly 900MHz but a few ex-Orange phones that are 1800MHz. I use Vodafone and usually use 900MHz phones, but couldn’t understand why after unlocking some Orange Motorola StarTACs (which operate on 1800 unlike all the other models) they would only work on EE, and why EE was the only provider that wouldn’t work on my 900MHz models. I was driving myself crazy!

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Mr StarTAC,
      Thanks for your feedback. I salute you for managing to get hold of some of these older phones, and managing to fix them up to work! It’s wonderful that you can still use these devices 24 years later – I bet the same won’t be said for the iPhone 12 when someone tries to use it around the middle of this century 😉

  • Sam said:

    So according to this article and other similar advice I’ve read online, it would make no sense for a phone to not connect to the EE 3G band, but yes connect to the O2 3G band?
    I’ve experienced this phenomenon TWICE now, with the older Nokia 515. I’ve got two of these devices, one will only connect to the 3G band on O2 and Vodafone but not EE and Three. The other, is the opposite. It will only connect to EE and Three but not O2 and Voda. They both work fine on GSM.
    Now why would this happen when all four carriers operate on the same band for 3G??!

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Sam,
      Thanks for your comment. I agree: your mobile phone should be compatible with 3G on all of the networks. The only thing I can think of would be how the different networks set up ‘priorities’ for which technologies and bands your phone will connect to (e.g. some networks could prefer 2G over 3G, others could prefer 3G over 2G). Nevertheless, if you force your mobile phone to only connect to 3G, it shouldn’t make a difference as far as I’m aware.
      Ken

      • Sam replied:

        Hi and thanks. Yes, I know what though mean. I was actually using the forced 3G or GSM option, not the dual which chooses for you.
        It’s very strange, but when it’s on 3g it won’t make or receive calls! As if it is blacklisted? I can show you a video.
        I just know that on the 2g spectrum, O2 and Vodafone are similar but now on 3g it seems very strange.

    • Stuart replied:

      I could understand why you would have issues on Vodafone an O2, the phone does not support U900 to Which Vodafone and O2 have almost exclusively moved their 3G network to to free up for L2100. Three UK and EE still deploy on U2100 so should work without a problem there.

    Thank you and best wishes

    • Ken replied:

      Hi there,
      Based on the specifications you provided, it should work on 2G and 3G networks in the UK. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of the 4G and 5G bands in the message you shared, so I’d recommend getting more information about that to figure out if it’ll give you 4G or 5G coverage in the UK.

    Hi

    I currently live in the UAE however I’ve just purchased a iPhone 11 MWN82CH/A Model A2223 will this phone work on the UK mobile networks mainly O2?

    Many thanks J

    • Ken replied:

      Hi John,
      Thanks for your comment. I believe the iPhone 11 A2223 has support for LTE bands 3, 7 and 20. It should therefore work fine on the UK networks including O2.

  • Pinky said:

    Ken, I’m looking at phone 5G specs on a very well known phone website, but none of the phones have specs of band “n78” but they do indicate band “78”. Are these bands the same??

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Pinky,
      Thanks for your comment. I suspect the “band 78” they’re referring to probably does mean band n78, providing it does support 5G at that band. Technically, 5G bands should always be prefixed with a “n” to distinguish them from 4G bands, but I understand some websites do omit this.
      Ken

      • Pinky replied:

        Ken, thank you for responding and so quickly too. Your response confirmed my thoughts, I’ve been looking at phone comparison sites and the ‘n’ tends to be omitted. Moreover, what I’ve learned is that some phones also have n258 whilst others do not. I was hoping that my next phone would serve me for around 3 years.

  • Russ Fry said:

    Hi Haroun,

    I am looking at buying a Chinese version of a phone that only supports B3 and B7 – not B20.

    Will this be a problem in the UK with signal dropping out?

    Thanks

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Russ,
      Thanks for your comment. You might be OK with this on Three or EE as I believe they’ve historically used band 3 for their main LTE service. However, I would strongly recommend getting a phone that supports all three frequencies if possible.

  • Ardvark said:

    I am planning on buying an Unlocked Oneplus 8 Pro (Chinese model with a global flashed ROM). Will Vodafone UK and EE UK work with this phone, does band 32 which will be missing on the phone matter much when it comes to vodafone UK.

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Ardvark,
      Thanks for your comment. I wouldn’t worry too much about band 32 LTE support. It might give you faster download speeds in a few areas, but is by no means a requirement to use your phone in the UK 🙂

  • Andre said:

    Hi Ken,

    I am looking into purchasing an imported mobile which states it supports N78 (3500 MHz) therefore 5g should work in the UK.

    However, I understand that Ofcom are auctioning off 80 MHz in the 700 MHz to boost 5g capability for mobile networks. As the phone I am looking to purchase won’t support 700 MHz does this mean my 5g connectivity will be limited and weaker?
    Thanks

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Andre,
      Thanks for your comment. That’s right: your mobile phone won’t be compatible with the 5G coverage that will later launch at 700MHz. Saying that, I imagine the majority of services will still operate at 3.4-3.8GHz given there’s a lot more spectrum available in that range (and they need a lot of spectrum to effectively operate 5G networks).

  • B. Aberneithy said:

    Hi, I bought a Sony Xperia 1 ii onpreorder from O2. Checking the 5g coverage for my postcode it’s not available. However, EE has good outdoors and Vodafone good indoors and outdoors. Will my phone work on Vodafone or not? I have not put in the O2 SIM and the phone does not appear to have any O2ware on it.

    • Ken replied:

      Hi there,
      Your phone should work fine on other networks, though it’s worth double checking in case it’s locked to O2. I believe most O2 Pay Monthly phones are now sold unlocked, but some Pay As You Go phones may still be locked to O2.

    Hi Ken

    I really hope you can help

    I have bought a Wifi Router which uses a

    Modem of this design

    Sierra Wireless MC7355 LTE/EVDO PCIe 4G Module

    It Also uses OpenWRT software

    The Modem is Identified Correctly but NOT the sim card

    It just shows NO sim although I have tried 2 Brand new sim cards

    So I thought of Replacing The 4g Module itself

    with the MC7355 shown above ( as that may be the cause ) of the fault

    I am using 3 Network in The UK

    800MHz Band 20 4G

    1800MHz Band 3 4G

    2100MHz Band 1 3G

    Is this Modem card correct because I am finding the Frequency numbers in adverts

    But with different band names like

    GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900/850 MHz
    WCDMA 1700/2100/1900/850/800 MHz
    LTE 1900/2100/850/700(B17)/700(B13) MHz
    LxEVDO 800/1900 MHz
    LxRTT 800/1900 MHz

    So do you match the numbers or the names as well ?

    as you can see 1900 above is under 3 different names

    which is the correct way ?

    Thanks for any help

    John

    • Ken replied:

      Hi John,
      Thanks for your comment. With 2G and 3G, you can simply match the frequency as given in MHz. However, for 4G and 5G, you’ll need to match the band numbers provided. This is because there are sometimes multiple different bands operating at the same frequency (e.g. bands 7 and 38 both use spectrum around 2600MHz, but the two are very different and are not compatible with each other). In addition, you’ll need to combine this with the technology type used. For instance, a device could support WCDMA at 800MHz but not LTE at 800MHz.
      Based on the specification you provided in your comment, it looks like the device should work fine on 2G & 3G networks in the UK. However, it will not be compatible with the 4G & 5G mobile networks here.
      Hope this helps,

  • ChrisS said:

    Hi Ken,

    I’m considering buying a phone from abroad – likely either the OnePlus 8 or 8 pro- these would be the CN version with flashed global rom, or alternatively the Galaxy S20 Hong Kong version.

    Wondamobile suggest that VoLTE will not work in the UK. They seem to support most bands (I think) – do you know whether they will work well in the UK? Are there any risks to doing this rather than buying from the UK?

    Thank you!

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Chris,
      Thanks for your comment. I can’t comment specifically for the OnePlus 8 as I haven’t looked in to this device. However, it’s certainly the case that Android devices purchased from another retailer (i.e. not purchased directly from the network) will usually not be compatible with VoLTE and VoWiFi (4G Calling and Wi-Fi Calling). This problem doesn’t exist if you’re buying an iPhone.
      Hope this helps,

  • Haitham said:

    Hi

    if a phone does not support 4g band 32 but supports the other 4g bands like, 1,7, 20, 39, etc. would this phone work ok on 4g in the UK? or would its operation be impacted?

    • Ken replied:

      Hi Haitham,
      Thanks for your comment. The most important 4G bands in the UK are LTE bands 3, 7 and 20 (1800MHz, 2600MHz and 800MHz). I’d normally recommend using a device that supports all three (or at the very least, it should support bands 3 and 20). Band 32 SDL is only used very rarely by Three and Vodafone and is certainly not a requirement to use 4G in the UK.
      Hope this helps,
      Ken

    Where i live which is just outside a town but in a sparsely populated area, fixed line broadband is only 1mbps. Thankfully I can get 4G using a Yaecom 4G router on a pole on my gable end, I get max 16mbps download which is ok but struggles at times. This is a connection to a vodafone mast which is less than a mile. Signal appears to be strong 5 bars indicated and -79 dBm. As it is a band 20 mast, I think it just doesn’t have much bandwidth. My router always connects to this 100%. If the time.
    I was walking less than a mile away from home today and I connected to band 1 mast. Downloads were 150+ mbps. Obviously I’d like to connect to that instead. I need to get a setup that can access the 2100mhz mast. Can you purchase a hi gain band 1 2100 mhz yagi. Also an in line band pass filter so that the band 20 signals are massively attenuated would help. I an a radio amateur so i have an idea what I’m talking about. I just don’t know if it’s feasible.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Ken,
    Can you tell me if a Kyocera Dura XE mobile be used in the UK? I am thinking of buying one to bring to the UK with me. Thanks, Bill E.

      Hi Bill,
      Thanks for your comment! Do you know which bands and frequencies are supported by the exact model of the device you’re buying? Happy to take a look at these for you, if you have the information!
      Thanks,
      Ken

      Hi Vic,
      Thanks for the heads up about this! I believe they did originally offer 2G coverage on 1800MHz but this has now been “refarmed” or converted to be used for 4G.

    Hi Ken, do you know if Band 20 is sub-divided by frequency band so that each mobile operator has a specific sector.

    Looking to install a mobile phone repeater but OFCOM have specified that any repeater can only operate on a single operator basis. i.e, the repeater cannot provide coverage for O2, Vodaphone, EE or 3.

      Hi Ian,
      Many thanks for the heads up about this and for all of your other contributions as well! This is now amended – much appreciated.
