While reading this forum, it seems that EDGE means you have a data plan and edge (all lowercase) means you do not. I subscribe to T-mobile's data plan so EDGE is primarily on my phone however today, it shows edge. Does this mean even though I subscribe to the data plan that I will be charged for internet usage?
very good question and if i'm not mistaken i dont think you will be, but however i might be wrong i'd call to check it out or wait to see if someone else knows exactly
That happened to me over the weekend... edge and I couldn't send any e-mail or use my JiveTalk. I took the battery out and it went back to EDGE and everything started to go thru again. I also remember a time where I left it alone and it changed from edge to caps!
I have the unlimited data plan with ATT and i noticed for a day and a half across two states my EDGE was lowercase, however i didnt notice any drop in services. Text, Email, and Web all worked fine.
EDGE: You can use the phone, send and receive email messages, PIN messages, SMS text message, and MMS message, and use the browser with a high-speed data connection.
edge: You can use the phone and send and receive SMS text messages and MMS messages.
the phone will start up, you may notice it will say gsm (searching for GSM network) GSM(logged onto GSM network) gprs/edge (searching for relevant GPRS/EDCE data network) then GPRS/EDGE (logged onto GPRS/EDGE)
when showing edge no data will transfer, email mms internet pin messages. with GSM you can call and sms
