Im new to blackberry and the uk. Just moved here recently and bought the new blackberry curve 8900 together with a pay-monthly orange contract in believe could surf everywhere in central london (where i live and work) in EDGE speed.
unfortunately everything i get is an GPRS signal. I called orange already several times but it doesnt seem like anybody there has a clue what im talking about. Most of the guys ive talked to at customer service do not even know what EDGE is. All the could tell me is that if an EDGE signal is available my blackberry will automaticly change to it.
As i said i live in central london and i never got an EDGE signal. Does anybody know if orange just do not provide EDGE in london? My friends who are on O2 get an EDGE signal all the time in central london.
Would be nice if anybody could help me with my dilemma (GPRS is annoying slow for surfing...).
From what I have heard (and I maybe wrong!) there are actually very few areas here in the UK where U WILL get an EDGE connection! I would have though that central London would be one one of the areas but.....
