Edge

[hippy999]

Hi All,

I have an XDA orbit, I am wondering if it automatically tranfsers data via EDGE or the standard GPRS
It is always showing the G symbol when not connected and the G with connecting/connected arrows, But I have never seen an E logo appear in its place!
Can anyone help
Many thanks in advance

Since you have a XDA Orbit, i asume your carrier is O2?

O2 does not have EDGE Technology in their GSM Network. They spent their money on establishing their UMTS Network, so with O2 you have the choice of GPRS (using their GSM Line) or UMTS.

I have the same "problem" I don't really need UMTS Speeds, but EDGE would be nice.

Actually O2 does have the Edge network. They have had this facility since the Launch of the IPhone in the UK. I quite often get the Edge icon on my phone (Orbit), however, when i come to connect it reverts back to the G for the gsm network & so im not entirely sure as to which it is utilising. I have been told that it automatically reverts to whatever network your within range of, but aint a 100% certain of this.
