Today, it appears that all devices that are using EDGE technology in the mid-east of the US might not be working for quite a while...until February 5th. It seems that the servers that control at&t's edge network are out, meaning that no EDGE will work. This seems to affect users from Chicago to Kansas, a strange area if I do say so myself. Again, at&t said that EDGE service might be out until February 5th at the latest. If you are affected by this, let us know!

Full Story

I have at&t but no edge. And anyway, does it affect California?

Glad I stay far far away from AT&T.

Fine here. (Mid-NY)

lol good thing i use verizon


sucks for you guys. its surprising that such broad faliure would be allowed to happen, you think theyd have some sort of backup or sandboxing at least between states........

lol i dont have to worry about it.. i have t-mobile edge on my iphone

I kept getting a remote connection failure today at lunch (12:00 CST) but by second break (2:30 CST) all was well again. I'm in Arkansas. The odd thing is that I was on the 3G when I got the error not EDGE.

I live in Kansas and i don't think people in Kansas have an iPhone yet.

EDGE sucks anyway. I hope for AT&T's customers sakes that they get their {censored} together.

Mine's working fine in Michigan.

EDGE is a slow, but it's not unbearably slow. I can wait the extra 5 seconds for my page to load. It's not that big of a deal.

I live in Kansas and my Samsung Sync still showed the "E" symbol and not the G so all must be well here.

Funny thing is, my coworker has a Blackberry 8830 on Verizon's EV-DO network and the internet doesn't feel any faster at all. I am very content with T-Mobile's EDGE service. Just wish it had as capable a web browser as the iPhone's.

supposedly some 3g users were affected too.

I'm fine here in the southeast with 3g, haven't had a problem in the last few days on my nokia

i live in chicago, and im glad that i have verizon for once

EDGE? People still use EDGE?

I thought all smartphones had 3G nowadays, at the very least. The 3.5G ones are becoming pretty popular now...
