Does disabling EDGE with SBSettings also disable GPRS?

[Spamdumpster]

I searched and didn't find an answer. I assume it does, because I can't access cellular data at all when I disable EDGE, but I want to make sure before I travel overseas and potentially run up ahige data bill if wi-fi drops out.

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

no. it disables google maps from refreshing, but the GPS works via a completely different component I believe. It still worked even without a sim card in mine... I had wifi at home, left the house(out of the wifi area), and the dot continued to move across even when the map had no connection to refresh the map.

I could be wrong of course, but this was my experience.

GPRS will still be active. For example if you don't subscribe to a data plan you can still send/receive MMS because this is GPRS.

Really? When I disable EDGE & 3G, I can't access the internet at all. Shouldn't the phone just fall back to GPRS then, and let me surf at super slow speeds?

I downloaded Bossprefs. Turned off EDGE. now i cant go to Safari. but then i go to Wi-Fi and connect to my wireless speedtouch modem and when i try to go on Safari it still says that it's not possible. I dont understand why i cant go to internet with EDGE turned off and Wi-Fi turned on... Please help! (i have 3g iphone 16g 2.2 version with 2.28 firmware, jailbreaked)
