LITTLE CIRCLE.

Anonymous
Not applicable

On my iPhone  i have a circle by my signal bar.

1, what does this mean? i know its something to do with internet...

also, it sometimes says 3G or E there (but very rarely) my internet works better when one of them in showing instead of the little circle,

2. Can you get it so it has 3G or E at all times and not the little circle?

It's your data signal. The circle means no data connection. E is a connection but only slow and 3g is the fastest. Your location will determine the signal you get.

Actually doesn't the circle also mean some data, but at the slowest rate, then E. then 3G. And then 4G if you have it.
