Signal strength - switching networks

you can get a 2g/3g widget from the market that will turn off 3g easily... 3UK are 3g only so they have partnered with Orange as a fallback 2G network when you are in patch 3G coverage. Its free to make and recieve calls\texts and have just found out also data (slow 2g tho) its def worth a try.
This is def the case as at my desk I switch onto Orange Roaming and never been charged yet.

Tried a few of the 3g/2g widgets and no joy. they just seem to turn into a shortcut for mobile network selection section of the phone.

doesn't look like i'm going to get an easy way to get it on 2g :(
