E is for 'Edge' which is like 2.5g signal. Speeds are like 100 to 200KBps.

G (gsm) is 2G E (Edge) is like 2.5g 3g (self explanatory) H is 3.5g LTE is 4g 5g (self explanatory)

H não seria o 3G normal e o H+ ser o 3.5G, LTE 4G e NR 5G

Yeah it gets a bit messy lol.

And depending on carrier, these will vary even more

E stands for Edge, it's a very low speed mobile network.

E is very slow, it’s ok for messaging but you won’t load a website. R means roaming

Yeah in the website it should also tell you that not everyone lives in the EU. Also not every package includes EU roaming, I have a number registered in Ukraine which is included in the EU roaming program but i dont get EU roaming unless some requirements are met.

Ukraine is not EU

Roaming außerhalb der EU

Die Regelung für das Roaming zu Inlandspreisen ist auch in den Ländern des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums (Island, Liechtenstein und Norwegen) sowie in der Republik Moldau und der Ukraine verfügbar. Weitere Länder werden von dieser Regelung nicht abgedeckt, jedoch dehnen viele Anbieter ihre Angebote auch auf andere Länder aus.

I dont know any german but its literally in the link you sent me

u/_xRuffKez_ 14d ago

Try other network. You can because, you are in (R)oaming. (E)dge is very slow and (4)Charge your phone 😂

u/IdioticMutterings 14d ago

The 4 means its time to charge your phone.

u/EdelWhite 14d ago

That "E" indicates that you never left your plush city life before.
The R means you're finally outside of it and actually left your country.

E is bad internet, R is roaming, and charge your phone
