Benefits of the AT&T 3G Network
Because its wireless network is based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technologies, the most open and widely used wireless network platform in the world, which supports 88 percent of the people worldwide who use wireless devices, only AT&T can offer 3G data roaming in more than 60 countries, including Japan and South Korea, as well as voice calling in more than 200 countries, in addition to the company's constant 3G expansion in the U.S. Nearly all devices in AT&T's current portfolio are "world phones" that can be used around the world.
Many of AT&T's 3G devices support AT&T Video Share(SM), a first-of-its-kind service in the U.S. that enables users to share live video while carrying on a voice call -- providing a new way to share personal moments and key events beyond the capabilities of voice, text and photos.
AT&T's 3G customers can also view razor-sharp video clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service that offers a comprehensive library of mobile video content from CNN, FOX News, ABC Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, ESPN, The Weather Channel, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, "American Idol," HBO Mobile and more.
