[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1354804, member: 145676"] As far as I can tell, boost mobile is cdma - which is different than your iPhone which uses GSM. Your main problem is AT&T has not invested in 3G as much as other carriers. Here is the real problem - the red is Verizon's CDMA which is different that Boost - but still just because a CDMA carrier says you have 3G - you might not have it with a GSM provider. As to why it doesn't connect - it may be the Edge signal is stronger so it defaults to that. It may take a reset or an Airplane mode toggle to get it back to 3G.
