I am having trouble with my blackberry its only on month old and suddenly its on GSM and wont go back to EDGE, and I cannot send any messages. Cannot use AIM, Text Message, Email and please help me how to fix this and I dont know where else to go.
Go to "manage connections". Choose "mobile network options" and change the network selection mode to manual. The phone will search for a minute then show a list of available networks. You should be able to select Edge from there.

I had been having this problem off and on for about 6 months (EDGE would go to edge and then to GSM and I would lose email and internet while phone would continue to work. Usually, taking out battery would work, but once it didnt get back from GSM to EDGE after the battery reset either. This continued for 24 hrs..
I called up AT&T and they said it was some work being done on the network in that area etc.. (didn't sound convincing !) I took out battery again.. and then took out SIM card and replaced it.. but this time pulled the steel SIM card holder right back into locked position (previously it was in a "half-cocked" type of poistion...
Anyways, after that reset, EDGE came back on and all is happy in the world of BB again.. I think it was the SIM thing.. but it could very well also be related to the work on the network being completed.. so you should try both if you are also having the EDGE vs GSM issue
Go to Options. Then to advanced from there you go to cell broadcast settings and change option from yes to no.
I've been having that problem as well and I've got it back to GPRS instead of GSM but how do I get it to edge?

I'm having this same problem right now. Started two days ago. Usually always on EDGE. Now only GSM. But it has gone to EDGE for about 20 minutes 3 times since; allowing qued email to pass and other data functionality. Same effect over a 20 mile range in city.

My phone was doing fine one day, and all of a sudden it changes to GSM instead of the normal EDGE. I haven't been able to send anything basically. I've tried taking out the battery too.
Same problem. Switched to GSM for the first time ever last night and has not switched back to Edge since. Can't make/receive calls...can receive texts but not send them. Please help.
Same problem. My Blackberry Curve switched to GSM for the first time ever last night and has not switched back to Edge since. Can't make or receive calls...can receive texts but not send them. Please help!
Mine hasn't gone back to Edge either. Ive tried taking out the battery, I swear I've tried changing it by going through all the files memorizing what is what, and also even hooking it up to my computer. I seriously doubt that this is a network issue more along the lines of a product defect.
The Curve apparently is having more trouble with the connection to edge than the other blackberry's.
The best solution I think would either have your carrier reset your connections and or software, erase the software, or change your sim card.
If that doesn't work, just get a new phone. =(
always GSM
