　　“I love the music-player function of 3G(third-generation)cellphones,”Xiaomei, a Chinese senior high school girl living in Japan, said cheerfully, during a recent interview with Xinmin Weekly．

　　“Recently, I logged on(登录)to a website and downloaded some new Japanese songs with lyrics onto my 3G cellphone,”the girl said．“You know, it’s amazing!Just like with KTV, the singer’s voice can be switched-off leaving just the background music and lyrics．When no one is around, I practice singing songs like crazy．”

　　Xiaomei’s 3G cellphone almost made her a superstar among her classmates．

　　3G was first introduced into Japan in 2001．After a slow start, it’s now widely used there．High school students top the list of user groups, according to NTT DoCoMo, a major service provider in Japan．

　　After years of effort, China is finally catching up．In January China issued a 3G license to three operators－China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom．After they were awarded the license, the operators were given legal permission to provide 3G services, such as wireless web surfing, and web-based video-conferencing．In 2009, the operators announced ambitious plans to expand the use of 3G cellphones．

　　What is 3G?

　　3G wireless networks give users faster internet connections．The Internet connection speed of 2G cellphones is around 100k/s, while 3G can be up to 15 to 20 times faster ．This allows music and games to be downloaded more easily．E-mail can also be accessed faster．It has made watching movies and video conferencings possible on a mobile phone．

　　How do I use 3G?

　　First, you must have a 3G cellphone．This year, products made by different cellphone companies will gradually appear in the marketplace．Prices range from around 300 yuan to several thousand yuan．

　　China Mobile and China Telecom users can continue using their old phone number and SIM card．China Unicom, however, has not yet decided on this matter．

　　How much does it cost?

　　The three operators have said that 3G fees will be similar, or slightly lower than today’s 2G cellphones’．

　　According to a 3G student package, calls within the China Mobile network will cost．0.13 yuan per minute, while the fees go up to 0.23 yuan per minute for calls between China Mobile and other networks．

　　The service also includes 150 text messages to other China Mobile phones, and 100 megabytes(兆字节)of Internet data flow．
