Will Using EDGE Cost me Money?

I have an O2 contract with 'unlimited' (1GB) data. I am still using my 2G simcard, waiting for my 3G one to be activated but sometimes it lets me use EDGE. Is this included in my allowance or am I going to pay extra if I use it? thanks

    No, use of EDGE is included, as is GPRS and HSDPA.

    They did it in the O2 shop for me and said that my 2G sim would stop working once the 3G sim activation was complete. they said 48 hrs on thurs but i take that to be 48 working hours so if it's not switched by Mon evening I will call them

    Just give o2 a call with the other sim number and they can do it for you, should take a couple of hours. If they did it on Thursday it should have completed by now.
