Hi,

I just bought an iPhone 3G v 2.1 and unlocked it through a turbo sim. I am facing a problem that after every 3-4 hours the EDGE/GPRS sign at the right of the carrier signal disappears & I am unable to use EDGE/GPRS on my phone then.

I have to reboot the device to get the EDGE/GPRS sign back and then an able to browse. I dont neither have 3G in my country nor wifi, so EDGE/GPRS is the only way to browse. Does any one has a solution for this. Is there any application or trick that could bring the EDGE/GPRS sign back again & get it working or any other solution for this ?

Please help!! Thanks.

If you haven't really modded the phone in any way then it sounds like it might simply be your service provider.

What country and what cellular network?

Try replacing the TurboSim with another card and unlock during your jailbreak. ;)

Maybe that will help. I don't know if it is possible for you to get another SIM, but you should definitely try that if possible.
