Hey guys I've been traveling with my iPhone, all within the U.S., and tonight I rebooted the phone and it took at least 60 seconds to find the carrier, normally it is instant. I still have 5 bars of service, as I normally do where I live. So what I am wondering is could this be conditions in the area? Would 3G coverage make any difference, I know it's data but does it have any effect on the speed in which my phone finds the network? I am on EDGE here and 3G at home. Thanks in advance.
