EDGE seems to be broken in the Philadelphia area, I get a message saying it can't activate EDGE. I have tried on 2 iPhones (although on the same plan). Anybody else having this issue? I havent seen any reports of this yet but I know that EDGE was down in the middle of the US yesterday.
 
not that i know off i'm in the new york city region and the edge is working perfectly however just last week i had my phone with me and i had no service the whole day up until 4 p.m.. its really weird try restoring or putting it into airplane mode and switching it back on to make it search.
 
I'm not that close to Philly (about 45mins-1hr out in NJ), but EDGE is fine for me here as well. That probably doesn't help your situation.

I'm in Philly and edge is working just fine for me
 
Edge network was down in Virginia as well. Charlottesville / Staunton area. I called AT&T and of course, they had no reported outage.

Came back up around 4:45pm EST or so.
 
I live in Harrisburg (about 90 minutes or so from Philly). Edge was down here a good chunk of this afternoon. I kept getting the "could not activate Edge" (or something similar) yesterday for a couple of hours as well. I had some trouble with it earlier in the week as well. It's a pain when it's down!
 
I had trouble with the Edge for a couple of hours again last night. I turned my iPhone off and on and was able to get back on. I don't know if that was a fluke as its the first time turning off and on has worked for me.
