Hello there TF. To my surprise I noticed something today I had never noticed before. When on Edge, if you make a call you lose data connectivity. Oh wow? So I did some Googling and of course everybody confirms that by design, 2G towers (Edge) don't allow voice/data at the same time. Okay fine.
This got me wondering... what if I'm using an application such as Glympse... Glympse sends somebody a link which displays your location via GPS on a Google Maps page. You see in real time where the person is moving. I personally like to use it when I'm running late somewhere so people know if I get stuck in traffic or whatever. That said, Glympse naturally uses mobile data to display this information to the end user.
What if I'm actively running in a Glympse and someone calls? Does the call take priority and zap the Glympse connection? In the past apps like this magically resume themselves once the connection is restored. I just want to make sure if I set up a 4 hour session on an app that will use data it doesn't block out calls for those 4 hours.
In case anybody is wondering, my curiosity with this is in regard to the plan I have with T-Mobile. Unlimited everything for 50 a month. However my data is 100mb @ 4g and everything after is unlimited @ 2g, hence why this question has some relevance to it despite most people utilizing 3g and even 4g these days.
Thanks guys!
