yes, your batt will last a bit longer then, but it doesnt count that much according my experinces. but if no 3g around u, turn it off

stupid question: (because I never have a 3G phone/provider)

how do you turn off 3G? T-Mobile USA only provides EDGE and it's consuming much of my husband's phone battery...

If you have a SE phone, go into Menu, Settings, Connectivity and then choose mobile networks. In there is should say GSM/3G. You then have the option to work only on GSM or both GSM and 3G

You cant if you but a three network phone. They remove the function to allow you to switch 3g of
