Question by : How can I still get edge or 3g Internet access while talking on the phone?
Most of the time when I’m talking on my iPhone I don’t have Internet access and I can see that I don’t because I use my earphones when talking and can still use my screen. I just want to know how to still get edge or 3g while I’m talking on the phone.

The iPhone, like all EDGE-capable devices that I’m aware of, does not support simultaneous voice & data while you are accessing the EDGE network. It’s a limitation of the technology used… and there’s no way around it.

On the flip side, the iPhone DOES support simultaneous voice & data if you are connected via WiFi or 3G Data (UMTS/HSDPA). One of the key advantages to AT&Ts 3G network over the EDGE network, is that the 3G network allows voice&data at the same time, whereas the EDGE network does not. When you’re connect via WiFi or 3G, you should be able to use data while on a call automatically… there isn’t anything special you should have to do to configure it.

So the short answer:
If you’re on EDGE, there’s no way to do voice/data at the same time.
If you’re on WiFi or 3G, it should work automatically.

The Apple iPhone

iPhones are simply amazing. They function as a camera phone, including text messaging and visual voicemail, a portable media player, and an Internet client, with e-mail, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one. Third-party applications are available from the App Store, which now has well over 200,000 "apps" approved by Apple. These apps have diverse functionality, including games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, and advertising for television shows, films, and much more.
