On your Edge cell phone, you probably can already make phone calls, send text messages and surf the Web lightly. However, with a 3G network, you can get high-speed Internet, live-streaming television, GPS navigation and the ability to open large emails. You may desire this plan if you find your phone to be slow. You can update your Edge cell phone to a 3G network through your cell phone provider either online or by telephone.
