Before 3G it was EDGE but could be referred to as 2G and before that was GSM which I guess we’d say was 1G.

That’s what I remember seeing on my phones on the top left throughout the years as it progressed anyway.

For whatever reason, they started referring to the generation by number at 3G (3rd generation).
