Orange and EDGE

[Guest Pagemakers]

This article says Orange are already using EDGE in the UK: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4880.html

Indicators on my phone change to E from G when in an EDGE signal and so far in the UK this has never happened.

Are Orange using EDGE now or not?

[Guest Jay3gsm]

Yes they are. However by the end of 2006 there will only be around 1,500 EDGE enabled transmitters in the UK. Orange have around 15,000 transmitters, so the EDGE coverage will not be very extensive.

Any idea where in the world Orange EDGE currently works?

It doesn't appear to work here in Manchester.

Are the speeds 'noticeably' better?

Is there a way to make the phone connect only when EDGE is available? I tried something but it didn't work..

I reckon they will probably role it out in London and all the main cities then go outwards, Just a guess but would make sense since cities are the main hub of business and thats how they brand their phones as "business devices"
