I searched on the topic a bit, but couldn't find any information. I have a BB8700c, with AT&T. The BB made the transition to EST this morning, but was only showing "GSM" as its network. I did a hard reset (battery removal), and EDGE came back for a couple of hours. Spontaneously, at some point, it switched back to GSM only. Further attempts at hard reset have not restored EDGE. AT&T support seems to be closed until 8AM Monday (it's 5PM Sunday in Boston now). Does any forum reader have a suggestion, about how to get EDGE back?

TIA - JG

Could be an outage. You should be able to reach ATT Customer Service.

I have EDGE in NH.

You've done about all you can, pulling battery and rebooting.

Are you on the fringe of service area, or in an area routinely well-covered?

Sounds like a network issue....You may be stuck waiting til tomorrow to call CS.

I suspect it is not you. But there's a number of forum members in Boston who I bet will tell what they are seeing.

I'm on the 17th floor of a building about 1.5 miles from downtown Boston and have never had anything less than 5 bars. Perhaps they're doing some sort of maintenance or have another system issue. I'd think someone else in Boston or my area might have posted if it were a system outage. I guess I'll have to wait until CS opens at 8AM.

Yup ATT customer service is closed on sundays they do have an after hours number but you'd have to go to a store to get them to call in!

FWIW, turns out it was a localized network or tower issue which interrupted all data transmission through one particular site. Seems to have been caused by the remnants of Hurricane Noel. Back to normal now.
