Nokia N70 & Edge.

[CellBel]

2 of my friends have EDGE phones which shows the E on screen at my place on a VM sim, but my other friends N70 does not show the E. On the N70 spec sheet it shows GPRS/EDGE/3G

Can anyone please tell me what's the problem. I've tried MTN & Voda sim as well.

Not all Nokia phone models show the 'E' for EDGE.
For example, E70 does not, E65 does, 3250 does not from my experience. Differs from model to model.... I have no idea why.
You can verify this by checking the N70 manual. I have also read of certain Nokia firmware updates introducing the 'E' or '3G' icon... I just don't remember for which phone that was.

@Jow,
Thx for the info. I've downloaded a file yesterday to check the speed, but it was GPRS speed.

CellBell I also have a Nokia N 70 on Vodacom and mine shows the 3 g symbol when connected. However, you have to contact the service provider and have the 3g or edge enabled as far as I am aware. Give them a buzz and find out.

@MrMikey,
Yes we've recieved a lot of settings from VC, gprs, 3g, mms, etc.
We do not have a 3G sevice in our area, only gprs/edge

Thx
