try popping the sim out for a minute, then restart the phone, go into newtwork settings and manually select 3, if that dosen't work go back into networks setting and select the other Three 2.5g network(vodafone)....you should be able to make calls on one of them....

Few miles out the road worked fine again,,,,very dodge

Guess that area is out, call 3 and inform them about it.
Though im sure they already know.

Even when they do know they will never admit it

I've been having problems when travelling around, seems to me like a delay in handing over from 3 to Voda when I enter a 2.5G area. This shows up as problems in making a call, sometimes I have to dial 4 or 5 times or else when someone is calling it goes straight to voicemail as if I am out of coverage even though I appear to have a good signal.

I've been onto 3 tech support and they wanted me to put my sim in another 3g phone and see if I was still having the problems, but I only have the one 3g phone.

I anyone having similar problems?

Sometimes, like when I was on to CPW customer care about the issue, the call dropped twice, needless to say they never bothered ringing me back I had to ring them and go looking for the person I was dealing with, but that's another issue! (Sorry, I know I'm ranting!)

The more common problem is for work to try and contact me and can't get through, so they would end up ringing a workmate who is usually with me. The problem is so bad that I had to get a Vodafone sim and presently carry two phones till I can get the problem resolved!

I had same problems last year, i don't know if 3 did something on there end, if they did they didn't say so but since i changed my phone i haven't had a problems, not sure if its coincidental or what though. And its still the same sim. I was using a N80 at the time?

Exact same problem all day today until left the area. I could get the coverage back for brief periods via: settings, manual search and alternating between the two '3' network options, think one was 3g and the other not. But if i selected the one was was already on it wouldn't be any good. Notified CC.

Its happening again today, and no one else seems to have a problem. So pointing towards the phone. Worth flashing the firmware? Would it make a difference? Gonna try some other phones and see what happens
