    Has meteor fully turned on 3G or is it trial only? I have a 3g capable handset and a data add-on but I believe I'm still only getting edge connection.

    Yes they have 3G. Mainly DUblin / Cork and parts of Waterford I hear. Make sure your phone is set to search for 3g (UMTS or Dual mode) networks and not just in 2g (GSM) mode.

    Well its an unlocked 3 phone so I presume it should be already since it was connecting to 3G a few mins ago on my 3sim.

    Would I need to get a new meteor sim for 3G to work?

    Are you go one of the above mentioned areas. If so you should not need a new sim. Try a network search, if your in one of the above areas you should pick up meteor 3g.

    Checked it there and I can select meteor or meteor 3g. I select meteor 3g and 3g shows up for a few seconds then disappears. If I go back in to select the network it has the standard meteor network selected.
