Hi Barbra.
Firstly, 3g is only going to speed up internet, it has nothing what ever to do
with text messaging. GPRS or general packet radio system has been a basic
source of internet access for quite some time now and can only deliver speeds
similar to those of dialup internet access. Whilst this may be adequate for
emailing and basic web browsing, 3g offers speeds up to 384 KBPS, meaning that
audio and video streaming becomes possible as well as much faster and richer
internet surfing.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Alex
Yes, that's what I understand, but I was wondering how much faster? I am sure
someone will have the answer.

Babs, I'm no expert on this subject, but my understanding is that 3g is
faster for surfing the net, sending text messages etc. I don't relly know any
more than that.
Cheers
Alex

Hi
I know it is difficult to give specifics, but I just wanted some general
feedback. Using Vodafone and I know this depends on network coverage, signal
strength etc, but what is the difference between 3G and 2G speeds? If browsing
the mobile Web, would 2G be very much slower for downloading webpages and
content?
Thanks.
