Hi,

I have just got an iPhone and unlocked it yesterday with and Orange sim in it. The trouble i am having is that i can get on the internet and pick up mail etc but it seems to be staying on GPRS as the E is not appearing on the top bar. This is a bit annoying as it is rather slow. I have tried two different Edge settings and they are both the same. It seems a bit strange as I have full signal but never get Edge in different areas. Any ideas or help much appreciate.

Thanks

Yes mate that's the settings that i have at the moment and i still can't seem to get edge in any of the places that i get a signal which is usually quite good. Do orange still use edge even though they are now on 3g? The next thing i can try is to reset the network settings see if that helps. Any other ideas? Anyone on orange with an iphone that can get edge?

The only thing that i can think of is that there isn't any edge network coverage where i am trying to get it. Has anyone got an iPhone running with an Orange sim and managed to get edge?

I think you guys are missing an important point. O2 is the ONLY network to use EDGE in the UK, isn't it?

You can use GPRS on Orange, but that's it...

I live in the North, and I get edge practically everywhere I go.

Where abouts in the north do ya live? I live in chesire and i haven't managed to get an edge signal once where i live. I sent an email to Orange asking them what there coverage was like and all they said is that there network still supports it and coverage is high. I tried to find out a bit more info but they didn't get back to me. Can you just confirm which settings you are using to please mate.
