I got a prepaid sim on TMO as a way to try out their coverage before switching over. Today, I took a drive from Oklahoma to Texas. Normally in OKC, I have H+ coverage. As expected, once south of OKC, it dropped to E(edge). However, data would not connect. The signal indicator stayed gray instead of going blue like it normally does and I had no data. Service was overall strong, much better than expected, but I need to figure out why Edge data wouldn't work. I know it will be slower, but it should at least give some connectivity.
The phone is a RAZR MAXX from Verizon that I have unlocked to work with a TMO sim card. I'm on the $3 a day prepaid plan.
Any ideas here why edge wouldn;t connect at all?
