This post is coming right from my iPhone. I made a bit of a mistake today with the edge settings on my wife's iPhone. Last night I noticed that the edge network was down. I wanted to make sure that it wasn't just my phone since I had just updated it and re-unlocked it. I put my sim card in and entered the edge settings for fido.
If you are wondering they are:
internet.fido.ca
fido
fido
So I realized that it was probably the edge network was down when it wouldn't work on her iPhone. After that I deleted the settings. What happened today though was that her phone was still connected to edge and she used data today by mistake. I didn't realize that the iPhone would save the edge settings.
She ended up using 550 kb of data. Now at 5 cents a kb that equals $27.50. A bit of a costly mistake but at least it wasn't 5 or 10 megs. That would have been a disaster. Not sure if we will get charged yet but we will find out once the bill comes. I'm pretty sure we will get charged since we don't have any kind of data plan on that phone.
So if you don't want to use edge anymore go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings. This will remove the edge settings from your iPhone.
