Cant disable 3G - iphone 4s: No Option.

[kingoddball]

How do I turn OFF 3G?
I don't get 3G reception and I am doomed to having a paperweight at night.

I need to turn off 3G but leave data on over GSM/GPRS (2G).

There is no 3G button.
Help?

I also noticed this and was wondering how to turn it off...

Cant believe it isnt just where it used to be.

settings > general > network > enable 3g

For some reason the setting isnt showing where it normally is, under network settings.

If you're on Verizon (and presumably Spring) you cannot. Only on GSM networks do you have that option AFAIK

iOS 5 is ridiculous!

Can not disable 3G on 4s?! POS!

I'm using the same simcard that my galaxy 2 can use 2G only and so could the iphones!

Really annoyed about this.

I normally have Wifi signal at home/work, and in most cases where I dont have Wifi, I have a stronger signal on 2G than 3G.

Seems an unnecessary waste of battery, my iPhone 4S is literally just lasting a day, down to 20% by about 10pm with average usage.

I asked in my local Apple and they said it was too soon to offer any Support. But I dont know if its Apple or a network thing that can be changed with a carrier settings update?

I think this is a carrier setting.

Under general>network> cellular data, just turn that off and it restricts it to just wifi.
This is basically the same thing.
