What makes Birdie\u2019s network so reliable?<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
5G may be tempting, but it all comes down to choosing the right plan<\/strong><\/h3>\nMulling a switch to the 5G superhighway? Before you are sure of the benefits, you might be better off using a 4G network.<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\n
In theory, data speed on a 5G network can be 10 to 20 times faster than that of 4G. But 5G plans cost a premium and the actual speed of a 5G service in remote areas may not outdo the 4G counterparts because of 5G\u2019s subpar coverage. To make up for the coverage shortfall, 5G service providers are providing 5G connectivity on existing 4G spectrum bands, hence increasing network latency.<\/p>\n
Then there’s the device question. Not all 5G devices are compatible with the 5G spectrum bands deployed in Hong Kong. Dual-SIM handsets may also not support simultaneous 5G connections on both SIMs.<\/p>\n
When it comes to mobile service, what you should subscribe to is something that fits, not just what other people talk about.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a04.5G is simply awesome!<\/strong><\/h3>\nAvid gamers and Netflix addicts alike are making the best out of the reliability of 4.5G networks at attractive prices.<\/p>\n
Well established with a vast number of base stations, 4.5G networks shine in stability and represent brilliant bang for the buck. At Birdie, you get the most for your money – not only data speeds of our plans have been doubled to 42Mbps, even the plans\u2019 thereafter data has been upgraded too!<\/p>\n
Birdie\u2019s network is fast, reliable and seamless all day long – no more frustrating chase for stronger signals. And we are now doubling down with higher data speeds! How lovely!<\/p>\n

Birdie users fear no \u201cnetwork black hole\u201d in their commutes because reception on the SmarTone network is exceptional on MTR rides!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
A seamless network supported by SmarTone<\/strong><\/h3>\nDon\u2019t you already know? Birdie users are assured a seamless and reliable mobile experience because Birdie rides on SmarTone\u2019s network.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s worse than having to squeeze yourself into a packed MTR train? Seeing eternal loading screens on your device, perhaps? But if you\u2019re connected to the SmarTone network, you always get stable data even when traveling on the busiest MTR sections because SmarTone\u2019s reception along the subway is unparalleled.<\/p>\n
SmarTone has kept upgrading and refining the network across various MTR stations and other locations. Multiple spectrum bands are also deployed across the MTR system for the SmarTone 4.5G network, including 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz. More capacity means less congestion even if it\u2019s the busiest hour – read here <\/a>to learn more (Chinese only).<\/p>\nNo matter if it’s the after-hour peak or festive dash, Birdie users are always treated to superb connectivity underground like taking a stroll in no man\u2019s land.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SmarTone is the only mobile operator solely uses Ericsson equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhat\u2019s behind the scenes does matter. SmarTone is Hong Kong\u2019s sole operator to exclusively run on Ericsson\u2019s infrastructure. SmarTone is also the first mobile operator in\u00a0 to deploy Ericsson Spectrum Sharing, a solution that optimises network performance through efficient use of existing spectrum and mobile infrastructure. Last but not least, Ericsson always puts network security and privacy first, which is also a priority at Birdie. So on top of the fast and seamless mobile experience, Birdie users can also rest assured that they are in good hands.<\/p>\n
