Not your usual Hero network issue

    I'm having a VERY annoying issue with my Hero, and its not the usual 3G/2G handshake problem.

    Night before last, in bed, I switched off my phone, as battery started to beep, and I couldn't have been arsed getting out of bed to get the charger from downstairs. Power off, your phone with switch off, yes, done.

    Yesterday.
    Onto charger, and powered on phone. Entered PIN, and got Unlocking Sim Card message, for AGES. I mean, a couple of minutes. Then it eventually went to Home screen, but had no network, you know the little X beside the signal bar, and the little SIM logo, and lockscreen said No SIM inserted.

    Powered off, reseated SIM, just in case, power on, same deal.

    Repeat ad naseum. Tried my SIM in my Mrs phone, grand. Tried again in the Hero, nothing.

    Tried her SIM in my phone, grand. Tried again in the Hero, nothing.

    Had to leave the house, to go to Drogheda, and got a couple of miles out the road, bang, logged onto Meteor. Was fine for the rest of the day, UNTIL I got back to Cavan.

    The second I got back into the town, the network dropped, and it was going the same again. Eventually, I got logged onto Vodafone (roaming) and had coverage, but not ideal, no data.

    Went out of town to a friends house last night, the second I left the town, I could pick up the network, and all was grand.

    Back into town, gone. Still saying no SIM.

    Is this a Meteor problem, is it a SIM problem, a Hero/HTC issue, or an Android problem.

    Hero, rooted, Modaco 3.1, no changed to phone in the last month, really.
