Question

What does 3G actually mean on cell phone service?

Answer 1

On the actual talking part, you may experience some difference but not really all that much...

The big difference is in the data speeds with the internet.. If you use CV (streaming video) you will see a good bit of buffering with an edge or 2G tower... with a 3G... it should  be like watching TV at your house... just on a way smaller screen. lol

Let's put it this way... I am spoiled by 3G now, so if I had to back it would kinda suck, It would be like going from an HD tv to a basic one... when I had Edge, I thought that was good, and it really isn't bad, but once you have had better, it's hard to go back.

Answer 2

3G stands for 3rd Generation, a 3G service provides higher data rates which allows the use of applications other than calling, eg internet, mobile television etc. hope this helped
