You need to go to settings then scroll to mobile networks and select 3G and GSM. It may be already on 3G but if you are not noticing anything different you may not have 3G coverage where you live. By the signal meter there should be a small 3 if in 3G area.

3g on o2 phones esp. payg means nowt really, video calls & faster data, tho' on o2 this is often at reduced speed... more useful to laptops when used second to a wifi connection.

Hi all,

Well i must admit i find this thread quite confusing as either some of you are using the wrong phones or the wrong Networks. As since 2006 so well over 2 years i have been getting a much faster and better user experience when it comes to the Web and it has continued to improve.

The first real improvements in data speeds came with GSM HSCSD which gave us speeds up to 115kb/s.

Then GPRS @ up to 171kb/s followed by 3G/EDGE @ up to 384kb/s.

After which we get to what is commonly called 3.5G and HSDPA and now also HSUPA these new protocols currently give up 7.2mbps download speeds and up to 3.6mbps upload speeds. These speeds are comparable and in a lot of cases faster then many peoples Broadband connection at home.

Now obviously you need a phone that supports these protocols and a fast processor as well as a nice large screen to gain the maximum benefit. But on some of the right devices it makes using the Web whilst mobile a full and rich experience missing in nothing and fast and it's going to continue to get faster.

Marc

Does anybody know why you have to search networks to get a 3g signal?

If its there, why doesnt the phone automatically find it?

In some places I have the 3g icon on, with full signal, but in some places, like my room, its not there. I have to search and sometimes it goes away fast, which isnt enough time for me to click video call.
