So when I switch from 2G&3G to just 3G, it has the 3G logo for a couple of seconds then the connection disappears and I'm without a network.
Is this a problem with the receiver in the Bold? I know the network is fine because I also tried connecting out of the countryside - where I live, and tried it in Manchester city centre today, in the Orange shop, where they confirmed signal was strong. No connection holding.
Also, what's the real difference between GPRS and EDGE. I can connect to EDGE, although it's automatic, nothing to do with me and it is superfast in comparison. IS EDGE the 3G data network?
Why am I so confused about this?
Someone bring me a cup of tea.
Orange uses a different SIM series for 3G so make sure you have a 3G SIM. This is more likely than a defective Bold.
The transfer speed is the major difference between EDGE and GSM. It goes
GSM<EDGE<3G
The SIM was previously in a Pearl, it came with the Pearl, it's fairly modern.
I bought the Bold new off eBay and unlocked it, so do I need to contact RIM to ask them about this? I don't think Orange will deal with a defective phone....not that I really *need* 3G, I just want it.
