ALDImobile is a part of something bigger and utilises the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network to reach more than 98.8% of the Australian population with 3G*, 4G or 5G and covers more than 1.6 million square kilometres of the Australian landmass. The service provides 4G coverage reaching at least 98.7% of the Australian population and at least 75% with 5G.

To fully leverage the capabilities of the Telstra Wholesale network, it's important to have a device that supports the bands in use within the intended usage area:

3G* Network (UMTS/HSPA+)

• 850MHz (Band 5): The Telstra Wholesale 3G network operates on this band.
  Please note that the 3G network will be shut down on 31 August 2024.

4G Network (LTE)

• 700MHz (Band 28): For wide-area coverage and better in-building penetration.
• 850MHz (Band 5): Coverage in this band will be enhanced after the 3G shutdown.
• 1800MHz (Band 3): This is a commonly used frequency for 4G networks.
• 2100MHz (Band 1): Another commonly used frequency for 4G networks.
• 2600MHz (Band 7): This band is employed for high-speed data, particularly in urban areas.

5G Network (RN)

• 850MHz (Band n5): Utilised by many existing 5G services.
• 3500MHz (Band n78): A key band for newer 5G services, offering high-speed data and capacity.
• 26GHz (Band n258): A high-frequency mmWave band for speed and capacity in urban areas.

Note that not all frequencies and bands are active in every location. To determine which bands are active in a specific area, you can visit the Radio Frequency National Site Archive (RFNSA) and look up the supported frequencies at towers in your areas of interest.

*Please keep in mind that Telstra's 3G Network will cease operation on 31 August 2024. After this date, you will need a 4G device with VoLTE calling capability to stay connected to our network. Additionally, speed caps apply to all of our plans to ensure fair usage for all customers.
