We have been requested many times by our readers to discuss some important tips in using tactful usage of EDGE on mobile handsets.
Using existing EDGE service, users can enjoy bundle of services without incurring any further cost, however not all mobile phones allow installation of such applications.
Functionality of Handsets: Your handset must support following features:
- OS or Operating system: Windows Mobile, Android, Apple, Symbian and EDGE enabled phones or Linux based phones like Motorola.
- J2EE or J2ME: In simple words J2EE or J2ME is required to run Java based applications. For example if you can install and play a game on your mobile handset then you can take lot of benefits from the single device.
- Sufficient Memory: No matter, built-in or external memory, of at least 20-32 MB, depends on size of your applications you need to install.
- Browser: Wap / HTML browsers. Like for html browser, it means user must be able to open http:// protocol websites like www.propakistani.pk instead of wap.propakistani.pk which is for wap browsers.
Once you know that your phone can install application, you are set ready to download these applications on your mobile.You will be amazed to know that there are very useful application, that can make your mobile phone a mobile computer – and all this comes with no additional cost other than your unlimited EDGE data package or any Edge data package you have. However, Unlimited data package is strongly recommended!
- Linked IN
- MSN Messenger
- Yahoo Messenger
- GTalk
- Skype
- Opera Mini
- YouTube
- Gmail
- Google Maps

- Games
- and so on
How to get these applications:
Just Google around, you will find tons of websites for downloading & installing these mobile applications even also OTA (Over the Air). I am enlisting some of websites:
What to do next?
- Get Edge package with unlimited bandwidth or bandwidth that you wish to use
- Install the above listed clients and start using it.
How much you have saved!
- Cost of application download from mobile operator portal.
- Cost of reconnecting by having unlimited Edge package and cost of SMS in case of Facebook updates via sms.
- Your Time

Benefits You Got!

Warid’s EGDE is best in the market
Zubair it wont be far future, when i will start considering your comments as SPAM.
Atleast it is far better than ufone’s EDGE. It takes ages to open a single WAP page. Imagine how long will it to open an HTML :S
I’m already using all there applications on my 5310 XpressMusic. But ”Yamee!” a Yahoo messenger isn’t working now a days. Can you help me out?
I’m already using all there applications on my 5310 XpressMusic, also Gmail through MESSAGE MENU. But ”Yamee!” a Yahoo messenger isn’t working now a days. Can you help me out?
Try nimbuzz
Sorry for duplicate comments, how I don’t how it happened.
Agreed with Zubair…
Without going into endless discussion about discussion that which data plan is best. I share few useful tips.
1 . For windows mobile a very useful software is gpsed. It fun to use. Its a gps base software. Works even if you are out of covarage through sattelites. And its free.
2. For voice chat use skye (for windows mobile). And fring (for symbian mostly E and N series) . Its saves a lot of money if your loved one are abroad. And gives convinience of voice chat any where any time. All you need to keep your hands free with you for privacy and better voice quality.
3. Use opera mini instead of pre installed browsers. Its load page in seconds. And handle heavy pages very easily. Internet explorer in windows mobiles is foolish. And makes me mad some times when its load pages and break the page . One more thing for browsing i use opera mini. For downloading song or any ting i use nokia’s own browser. Because opera gets complicated when downloading something. And ask same thing for as many as 5 times.
4. Instead of installing and handling google talk, msn live messenger , and yahoo seperately. Install ebuddy or mig33. They are easy to handle and you can sign in all your favourate messengers in one window. And manage them all at the same time.
5. Use google map and its function latitude. Its fun to use when you have your friend signed in too.
and i have found m.getjar.com the best site of downloading mobile software. Most of the time it recognizes your mobile set and shows only those software That are supported by your cell. Nokia ovi store is also getting good day by day.
