Vodafone has confirmed to http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/phones that they are slowly rolling out EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), across its network in the UK. However before you go looking for the official announcement from the mobile operator, there isn’t one and there won’t be one.
According to there source within the company, the EDGE network, which promises faster data speeds for phones that are EDGE compatible, will only be available when current 2G (second generation mobile services) base stations need replacing.
There source insisted however that the company isn’t planning on a national rollout. So far there is EDGE connectivity on the Vodafone network in Southampton and Nottingham.
EDGE not really an issue in the UK following widespread adoption of 3G (third generation mobile services) and HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) services.
