Question on Mobile Broadband

Hi Folks,

This is a general question that raised in me. I'm using a BSNL 3g data plan, I'm supposed to be in another state(another network circle) for some days. There I tried the mobile network, where the 3G broadband(HSPA/WCDMA) is automatically changed to 2G broadband(EDGE) ie., I'm unable to access the 3G broadband. I don't know why? Could anyone pls clarify me........

The roaming network doesn't support 3G - in such cases you are forced to 2G network.

No change. 3G networks support 2G but not the other way round.

When I use 2G network, the connection terminates in few minutes... I don't know why it happens.
