Revision as of 17:12, 31 May 2016

This article is under construction now.

Basics

Mongolia is a huge country located between Russia and China.

Country code is +976.

Two main GSM-based operators are active here:

  • MobiCom
  • Unitel

Skytel and G Mobile both only operate a 3G network in Ulaanbaatar and are on GSM-incompatible CDMA in the rest of the country. That's why they are not listed.

On MobiCom and Unitel 2G is on 900 and 1800 MHz, 3G on 2100 MHz. 4G/LTE started in Ulaanbaatar only on 1800 MHz.

As the least densely populated country in the world, with a significant portion of the population living a nomadic lifestyle, large areas are still not covered. With almost half the population clustered in the capital of Ulaanbaatar, most ressources are deployed there. You can expect 3G coverage only in and around of major towns.
