That's a really good question. My phone used to have that signal a lot. Sometimes I would even get this weird "o" signal which I have no idea what it means.

It seemed to only get that signal when I was away at college last year on the west coast of my state. I guess that area didn't really get good att signal because I got E and o a lot. Now that I'm back home I don't get those signals, only if att goes out in my area.

E means 'EDGE' . Its a pre-3G technology actually. It stands for Enhanced Data Rates for GSM evolution . EDGE can carry a bandwidth up to 236.8 kbit/s. EDGE is four times as efficient as GPRS.

It could mean "EDGE". Before 3G came out, EDGE was what some of the wireless carriers were using. It's 2nd generation high speed mobile internet hook up. It's slower than 3G but it's fast enough to do most of the things we are doing today. 3G basically do them faster.

Yes E symbol represents which means edge network simply known as 2G network before 3G. As old phones are having G symbol which means GPRS. After when its switch to 2G network .

the E signal on your phone means you are on edge network which is also knows as 2g or 2.5g . Its speed is two times the speed of gprs.
