network-type
:Following Options are available for the parameter
network-type
-1
any connection (Default value)0
for Only 3G1
for GPRS/EDGE only2
prefer 3G3
prefer 2G
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/your_3g_connection
. Put network-type 0
in the section [gsm]
Option
0
is what you requested, but I would recommend using 2
. If your signal is too weak for 3G, you'll have no connection at all with the setting 0
. Whereas the option 2
will go down to EDGE/GPRS in that case. Better 2G than nothing at all, isn't it?
