samer ZuZ wroteAll Alfa users with gprs are receiving 3G .. since yesterday afternoon I can confirm this. I am a GPRS/EDGE subscriber, I am now getting 3G in Achrafieh. Latency: 320ms Download: 0.7 Mbps Upload: 0.13 Mbps Server: Nablus (Palestine)
amjadk Yeah I talked to Alfa they said they're activating the 3G network for everyone but the new plans on the 1st. Mtc said they have a problem with the new network... By the way, has anyone realized how nice and understanding Alfa support is compared to mtc? Alfa told me everything I wanted to know and more straightforward, I didn't even ask mtc about the new plans and he was telling me they're not official yet please wait there's a problem and whatever. Oh and why are the speeds so low? Or is this still not all the bandwidth available for 3G?

shahanovski Yeah, alfa activated 3G for all Mobile Internet subscribers.. I got 3.5/0.3 Mbps yesterday night in Hamra but after few tests I checked my consumption and I had used around 35 MB just for few tests lol 500MB will be consumed easily :( Operators should offer CallerID feature for free.. why pay $5 for it!

It is not Alfa specific. I think 3G is supposed to stay when you are during a conversation because the data and voice travel in two separate layers (Though I'm not sure, but while using 3g in other countries that's what it did).

True, for Alfa I am sure you can maintain data transfer and a phone call at the same time

Choose on your phone 3G preferred rather than 3G signal only.
babum whenever I try connecting to the umts network it keeps saying emergency calls only,would anyone happen to know a workaround for that?

Choose on your phone 3G preferred rather than 3G signal only. i disabled my 2G signal to force the 3G and it worked but however if i manually selected to use 3G alfa signal it rejected my request

apple-safari On an iPhone, should I enable both 3G and Cellular Data? Because it's not working (Prepaid ALFA WAP).
