My brother got the new Iphone and has now upgraded our phone service (we have same bill) to have unlimited Edge service. Does GPRS use a different type of network than EDGE or can I use the EDGE network but not get the speed becuase of the hardware capability? And if I do connect to GPRS will I get billed differently?
Thanks
edge is 2.5G where gprs is 2g and umts is 3g
the g stand for generation
phones and sims are normaly backward compatible as
if they got out of edge or 3g covering they would be useless
but not forward comaptible so if a 2g use a 2.5g sim it's at 2g speed
Hi,
I have bought an uses hw6915 device, which works fine, except for EDGE. I´m connecting to web.vodafone.de (Germany) without any problems while in GPRS. As soon as I´m approaching an EDGE network and the [E] appears, the data transfer is stopped, server can´t be reached but the device is logged into the EDGE network.
Phone works in EDGE network as long as I´m not connected to APN.
Does anyone has a clue? Could the device defective or is it a strange configuration problem?
Is there a way to swith off EDGE in registry?

Perhaps the carrier that runs that EDGE enabled tower doesn't have a data roaming agreement with Vodafone. That would cause you to become disconnected once you hit that EDGE tower.
Just an idea, as I'm not sure how data roaming agreements work in Europe.
EDGE is just an extension to GPRS. and only between both supporting radio's (both network and client device). If you dont see the E for EDGE coverage, chances are you just aint in range of an EDGE enabled transmitter. Most countries that have 3G wont bother using EDGE, orange in the UK say that EDGE is only really used as a fall back when you are out of 3G range.
I dont know of any way to force EDGE use, and if there is Id like to hear it! GPRS sucks!
It was a technical error. HP replaced the mainboard, now it works great...
