The website says it does, but have recently been told by someone that it was NOT available, so im curious to know.

I thought it was a handset capability, and ran on the infastructure of the 3G network.

Can anyone confirm they get EDGE on an 8900 or Bold on Vodafone

[CipherDias]

depends where U R in the country. U might want to call Voda to check for sure

[skyrider007]

Nope, only 3G or GPRS.

I have had a couple on instances where edge was showing on the screen, but the phone refused to connect, and after a battery pull, it went back to GPRS.

im not on vodafone but o2 and sometimes I get Edge but not for long.

[Snazy]

Cheers guys.
Their website boasts that they do, so surely they should get in trouble for that.

Im on Orange, and I get EDGE

Nope, only 3G or GPRS.

yes vodafone does have EDGE and I have seen it on my storm several times

[g_thomas]

Yes, Vodafone does have EDGE on the network. Most major cities have this for example London, Bristol, Cardiff and Manchester.

[Jodie98deg]

I've never had the Edge on Vodafone in Manchester.

[g_thomas]

It is available on the network in Manchester. It could be that the BTS your connected to does not have EDGE enabled.

I assumed Vodafone doesn't do EDGE. But, recently noticed it a few times on my bold 9700 in London.

Confirmation of the Voda/Edge situation from a moderator on the Vodafone eForums:-

"EDGE is old technology, and we've 'skipped' this to focus our attention on faster data service - HSDPA and beyond! There may well be a handful of rogue EDGE cell sites out there (perhaps from network sharing masts or for testing), but that couldn't possibly warrant us promoting it as a main feature to our network. We don't have plans whatsoever to increase EDGE coverage"

there was an internal memo regarding edge on vf a week or so ago, basically you will find it in some places as its been used to replaced failing 2g only sites, kinda makes sense, no-one would launch it `just because` but if your gonna replaced it, then do it properly eh

oh and 4G is available too (well, i have a 4G dongle, only 3g in my area, but lets see what happens eh
