Orange UK EDGE

[Guest fmountford]

I have just upgraded to the SPV C600 and understand it is EDGE compatible

Does anyone know where I can find a Coverage Map for EDGE, the Orange website has little infomation.

dont think its rolled out yet fully from orange. T-mobile have edge however. Best thing you can do is phone the orange crappy customer service :)

There's a reg tweak somewhere that allows you to set your device to show an E instead of the G when it connects to an EDGE enabled cell.

About six months ago, I found EDGE intermittent around London and generally it was best where their 3g was poor.

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

dword: EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 1

But this reg key was on already, so will have to investigate

You shouldn't need a reg hack with the last couple of C600 ROM's. My phone regularly picked up E instead of G without the hack, in my last ROM and the latest one i'm running.

Well I havent needed to either, I went out the other day to another town and picked up the E symbol very patchy coverage and mostly in the sticks but couldnt try it becasue i was moving.

However for some reason I managed to be in Edge coverage last night in my home town (which is Orange 3G covered) and the data speeds were fantastic.

Also emailed orange, they confirmed that there is no coverage map avaliable but said my phone would show an E when in coverage
