    Me and a guy in work had a similar problem with while at work, very poor signal and no signal most of the time. He rang o2 and told them there were three of us who had no signal and they agreed to boost the signal in the area, has been a lot better since.
    Maybe try the same thing, ring them and tell them there are a few of you in the area getting no coverage, they shoild be able to boost it for you.

    The reason I asked was because I had a metallic effect cover before, when I removed it I got a lot better signal.
    A long shot would be , if you knew anyone else with an iPhone to see if they get similar results. If they get better than you then it's back to Apple with the phone.
