Edge & 3GP, Web Service Problem

Hello Friends,

From last few days our users are facing one problem. We have implemented web
service to communicate to server. Now the problem is, generally 3GP
connection is there on devices, but sometimes when signal is weak, Edge is
connected.

In case of Edge, they are not able reach the server via web service.

So my question is, is it possible? if yes then what kind of optimization can
be done in web service call so that in weak signal also it will work?

Please help me.

Regards
Viral

Sorry Its 3G, not 3GP..

There shouldn't be any difference, from the application level. That
suggests to me that the provider is blocking that sort of traffic over EDGE
(as I can't think how it would happen on the device itself). Certainly I
can use EDGE to do any sort of network I/O, outbound. My provider won't
allow me to have a server on my device that can be connected to over the
Internet, but I have no problem going in the other direction. What
exception or error do you get when it fails?

You'll need to contact you're carrier with regards to this, sounds like they
are blocking a certain port over EDGE for some reason. Check the port that
your web server is listening on is not being blocked by your carrier.
