3G While Driving

[Nickste]

Hey all,
On holiday in the garden route area at the moment. Have been using 3G (although sometimes only GPRS) in all the places i've stayed. It's been awesome ;-)

But... there is one thing I have noticed. When driving along the N2, I can't seem to connect. Average speed is around 120km/h.

Bit weird, as I can connect to GPRS on my cellphone without any problems.

Any fixes for this problem?

Cheers, Nick

Are you sure you're in a 3G cell at that point in time? You'll probably find 3G coverage are only in the towns, etc. with the in-between areas not covered.

Won't ask how (or why) you want to connect while driving

I've often (been) driven from PTA to JHB and not drop a connection.

Hey, thanks for reply.

Lol, my old man is doing the driving! Yep, just tried to connect using 3G in stormsriver, but no go - cool on GPRS though. Gonna try it at speed just now.

Will update.

Cheers, Nick

Yep, all go! Must've just been in a bad area earlier.

Cheers, Nick
