Question What Does "E" Mean On Cellphone?

i checked my friend's phones, family, the manual and even gave t-mobile a call and after waiting 15min+ i just hung up. but in all seriousness where the signal bars are after it says t-mobile i have the letter E displayed. none of my family phones have this but just mine on my iphone... the manual doesn't say anything about it either.

what is this E mean?

that is free for your network right, being connected to edge network? i don't want to be hit with a huge charge.

It's the GPS, cellular triangulation, etc for google maps to find your location.
