If the 4G signal is weak or there is no 4G coverage, your phone will automatically switch to a
3G network.

4G is short for the 4th Generation Mobile Communication, which supports faster data
transmission than the 3G network.

the 3G phone?
This understanding is incorrect.
The download speed of the 4G network is faster than that of the 3G or 2G network. However,
fast speed doesn't mean a large traffic consumption. Traffic consumption depends on the user
data usage instead of networks and phones.
The data transmission speed of the 4G network is faster. Misoperations may consume a large
amount of traffic. Therefore, you are suggested to disable the mobile data services when you
are not using the mobile network.

been activated for your 4G phone, and the current area is covered by the 4G network.
