iphone using vodafone, anyone else get the same problem ?
I have an iphone 3GS which is generally superb to use, my handset is sim free and i use it with a Vodafone sim card.
Quite a lot of the time especially indoors i get the "E" sign where the 3G logo should be on the top bar near the signal strength indicator, i'm pretty sure that stands for emergency only.
My phone is in one of those tech21 D30 cases, their like a gel type case that covers the back and sides with cut outs for buttons etc
Anyone else get similar probs using an iphone on vodafone ?

Not an iPhone but on my HTC the E symbol signified it was connected to an Edge network, think it's a high speed variant of GPRS but not as good as 3G

Each time the "E" appears i can't use the internet, also as a test i got a mate who was sat next to me to send e a text message, it came through about 10 mins after he sent it. Its basically useless when that "E" appears.

If you really want p1$$ poor 3G reception then come to South Wales and try using the O2 network, my mobile phones (both work and private) spend so much time on the E signal that they may as well take up rock climbing.

I think its more to do with Vodafone, I was with 02 and Tmobile and never had a problem with the internet on either network in years. I have moved to Vodafone and the signal for the mobile web drops constantly on my Galaxy s2 and I can only use the internet when the "h" signal is visable. Thank god I only got a 12 month contract
