3G phone in 2g or Edge area

If I had a 3G phone but needed to use it in a non-3G area, how does the phone switch to the other system, does it do it automatically or do I need to change some settings. I don't want to be cut off mid-call and it's likely that most of my calls will be made and received outside of a 3G area.

Thanks - the phone is HTC Touch 3G

  • If your phone is in dual mode it will do automatically.

    As above,

    Dual mode is 3G and 2G,

    GSM is just 2G.

    I use just GSM to save on battery.
