Hi Guys,

Do you all find it difficult to make call without 3G on? Well, actually after trying quite number of time experiment the call performance with 3G on and off.

With 3G on, i'm able to make call easily but without 3G, means on EDGE, i found that it quite difficult to make a call without failure. Usually 2 out of 5 calls are failed.

I'm not experiment with the call quality switching automatically btw 3G and EDGE. It merely initial call on successfully with 3G enable and disable separately.

Am i the only one experience such situation? Btw, i'm on Singtel line but i do experience the same problem on Maxis line in KL (on EDGE only, no 3G with my Maxis line).

Hope you guys can share some experience.

PS: on latest 2.1 firmware.

CELCOM no problem so far.

no difference to me

i didn't know that 3G and edge actually has effect on your daily phone calls..

believe it or not, whether my EDGE or 3G is on or off, i can call out all the time without going thru any sort of problems..

3G and EDGE makes no difference when your calling someone on a normal call..

there are 2 possibilities.. maybe i'm wrong, or maybe you're just superstitious..

yeahh, been wondering the same

maybe he's using some IDD line or those Skype to Line type of services..

hmm...sound like only i'm the only one that experienced it. How about if totally off 3G and EDGE?

What I experience is let say i'm calling 012-1234567, then i'll heard "dup dup dup" then the screen gone back to the contact number. Worst, even no sound for 10secs then gone back to the same contact number that i intended to dial.

ohh.. tat one happne to me a few times yesterday and saturday, maybe network issue i guess?

i have no problem at all, my 3g and edge are off all the time using bosspref

I just wondering if this happened to both my singtel line and maxis line, then it shouldn't be network related.

ur sim card got sim lock or not

i am not trying to brag here, but ever since i have gotten an officially unlocked iphone, i never ever once had a failed call before on maxis. no exaggeration at all!

@rx330

Yes, i do have sim locked pin set by me on maxis sim card. But i don't see any related issue with it as it does happen on my singtel line which do not have sim locked pin.

Maybe i need to clarify that i'm not "targeting" on Call Drop but Call Failed

as experience by some other people as well as i found out googling. Just the different is i'm able to get stable call out on 3G but unstable call out with 3G off.
