Question

If the G coverage at my house isnt good, does that mean I cant access the internet using an iPhone ?
Im in the UK and my postcode is EH UE. Im just not sure if G coverage affects an iPhones ability to use the internet.

Answer

If you have not purchased your iPhone yet is may well be advisable to check the coverage in the main areas you are going to use the iPhone. Both Orange and O have coverage maps on their web sites.brbrG offers the fastest internet access, however you can still access data services such as the Internet using EDGE or GPRS. If EDGE is available you will see an E next to the phone signal strength. If GPRS is available you will see a small o next to the signal strength.brbrBoth EDGE and GPRS are slower than G.
