No 3g yet, only EDGE.

EDGE is considered a 3G network. GSM is considered 2G, GPRS 2.5G. EDGE, UMTS are all 3G type networks.

@ResidentEvil: EDGE cannot be 3G because it uses GSM infrastructure whereas 3G in fact requires new towers and is a different technology. You can't make video calls with EDGE.

Indeed, EDGE is not 3G.
Nope, no 3G in the Philippines. And don't consder holding your breathe waiting for one.

@GOwin: What's the delay with getting 3G to the Phillipines?

Introducing 3G in the country doesn’t make a good business case for the telecom company. "3G is basically for the high-end market. Our high-growth prospect is still in the low-end segment of the market so there’s no need for us to rush into 3G." |

Me thinks Vodafone wants to expand the services of Globe and then Vodafone will maybe build a 3G network under the Globe brand.
