Couple of queries.

Have 3 blocked access to the internet when outside the 3g area. Unfortunatly coverage isn't good in this area and there are patches of 3g, but its a pain having to find one.

Would it be worth moaning at Carphone Warehouse (who claimed internet could be used anywhere)

No, 3 haven't blocked web access outside 3G areas. They do block most adult-content sides in favour of their own, and parts of their own website can only be accessed when you have a 3G signal, but all other sites can be accessed, albeit slowly.

I've not had a problem accessing any sites; not that I spend much time on adult ones, mind....

If you're in a 2G area and Orange have enabled that specific cell for EDGE, you'll get that too.

There was some gossip in recent years that 3 blocked internet access on 2G. That's not true.

My boyfriend had this trouble with his LG Viewty.

He called three and they told him he had to choose a different setting when in a 2g area.

I would call three and double check with them how to do it on your handset
