i don't have it, and i'm not bothered about having it - the phone supports it, but i haven't signed up, and don't have a need for it -

can it be switched off? A few posts have suggested that it will improve some aspects of performance.

Thanks already

start-settings-phone

then click on the 'band' tab

make 'select your network type' GSM

should solve your question..

also it should make your phoncalls more stable and you wont miss phonecalls anymore.

WHat do you mean, "signed up"?

And yes, it'll improve battery life to have it off. Although you'll find that GPRS interferes with phones, and UMTS doesn.t :)

A big plus for me in work.

Any company worth it's salt will upgrade your SIM for nothing.

Ask to be put through to retentions. Tell them you'll buy out your contract if you don't get your way. They'll not only give you a SIM, but they'll let you sleep with their sister too.

Depends on the network.

If it's T-Mobile, she's cheap but easy and everyone'll have had her. But you do anything to her for £7.50.

If it's O2, she's expensive and nobody can afford her. And she says she's good, but isn't.

If it's Vodafone, she's hugely popular, but no-one knows why. But she'll give you 60 minutes and only charge you for 3 minutes.

If it's Orange, she's an animal in bed, but she speaks with a Calcutta accent.

It it's Virgin, well you get the picture....

Noticed this thread is about turning off 3G, but what about turning off GPRS?:) Was wondering if there's a way to do so as I currently do not have any GPRS account yet.. :oops:

Hope you guys don't mind the slightly off topic question :oops:
