Does Virgin support EDGE (EGPRS)?

Sounds like a simple question, but I've searched this forum, Virgin Mobile's website, Google, etc and can't find an answer!!!

I'm thinking of buying a second hand I-Mate KJAM and edge support would probably swing it. Does anyone know?

Also, and purely out if interest, does Virgin Mobile support any form of 3G?

3G (and HSDPA) yes

It seems T-Mobile can do EDGE on their network but I don't know if Virgin can use it or not

Thanks for the reply. I've ordered it so I'll do a couple of tests and post a definitive real world answer soon.

In the real world I can stream 20kbps radio with very little to no buffering e.g. Talk Sport. At 32kbps or above it buffers constantly. I guess EDGE isn't supported then. Oh well. Good job my phone's got wifi.
