LOL ...seems like Tahir is providing the laughs tonight. Who in his/her right mind will roam on GPRS?
I talked about speed and you change the topic to roaming.
Whenever I'm overseas just switch on sms roaming...you can send me an sms if you're desperate to get hold of me coz as it is roaming is for the wealthy due to high charges.

@Brix AGAIN i think you dont know how a 2G network works.If a 2 network is busy in a area speeds will be slower than other base stations.2G networks work on TIME SLOTS and voice and data uses the same slots so if slots are busy you will have slow connections.All base stations are link to a BSC(BASE STATION CONTROLLER) if the BSC are congested it also affects speeds.With 3G its different thats why its called WCDMA(wideband CODE division multiple access).It has unlimited capacity like a FM radio station.Eveyone listening to 1 radiostation in an area but no CONGESTION.Why.The NETWORK GENERATES A CODE FOR EVERY USER........When MTN launch 3G compare VODA with MTN.When the day comes i will remind you of what SPEED is.MTN will have 384kbs,Voda will have HSDPA which is 2mbs when launched.Gprs speeds max is 170kbs but no one gets this speed because the time slots are used up.SPEEED HUH i will remind you MR BRIX

@ Brix in my last post i did not mention that EDGE also uses slots.EDGE max speed is 256kbs but you only get about 140kbs and lower on MTN.THATS why MTN is not advertising EDGE because the speeds is some times like GPRS.I almost forgot.MTN still has no EDGE wireless modems for customers thats why they are not promoting it and another reason Vodacom 3G coverage is bigger than MTN edge and not forgeting MTN 3G which is in test phase

I got almost 128kbs with MTN the other night. With voda the fastest i ever got was 20kbs. Am sure once the network upgrades are complete the speed will be greater.

I think that MTN uses only Ericsson equipment across the network makes them faster. 120kbps... Do you have the tower in your backyard? You should check your radiation levels...LOL.
