GSM / GPRS / EDGE/ 3G / UMTS Coverage Indicators

Posted Today at 05:05 AM by hdawg (hdawg's BES blog)

As a follow-up to last weeks post on CDMA Coverage Indicators, here's some info on GSM / GPRS / EDGE/ 3G / UMTS Coverage Indicators.

The two RIM KB's:

GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G Coverage Indicators

UMTS Coverage Indicators

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to add for this; it looks like all the bases are covered! At least now you know where to get all the info.

CDMA Coverage Indicators
