Radio, mm, optical, UV and X-ray light curves of 3C 279 as well as the gamma-ray light curve available since 1991 June are considered. Strong flux correlations are found between the X-ray and the radio-optical region. Variations at 100 MeV are well correlated to the optical and X-ray bands. The variability amplitude, as measured by an average logarithmic dispersion of the available measurements is small in the radio and increases systematically with increasing frequency up to the gamma-ray band, with the possible exception of the X-ray amplitude.
