Thanks for mentioning that, I hadn't noticed the Simple Calling doesn't work on 3G - mainly because I'm rarely in areas with 3G coverage! Tonight though I'm in a town that has an excellent AT&T 3G signal - works fine on 7-11 Speakout - but the Simple Calling (US/Canada edition) won't register on 3G (fine on GSM).

I really doubt there will be any areas with 3G coverage but not 2G, but if Simple Calling ever gets data 3G would be helpful. Another use might be during a disaster, if the 3G has more capacity than 2G.
