The iPhone 4 is a 2G / 3G phone. I take it that you either are not in the U.S., or are using the phone only as an iPod Touch – because in the U.S., all of the 3G networks are shut down. I'm not sure of the timetable for other parts of the world, but it sounds like many of the places that still have 2G / 3G coverage are phasing it out.
