No, just GPRS.

I was reading on the cingular site and it said EDGE worked with GPRS
technology. read here

EDGE is 100% compatible with GPRS technology, which can help protect
your company's GPRS investment in an evolving environment.
GPRS devices work on the EDGE network†

The packet data part of EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for Global Evolution) is
EGPRS (Enhanced General Packet Radio Service), a forward- and
backward-compatible update to GPRS. (There is also a circuit switched part
called ESCD [Enhanced Circuit Switched Data], but I don't know of any carrier
that implements it.) EGPRS devices on GPRS networks and GPRS devices on EGPRS
networks work at GPRS speeds, the lowest common denominator.
