Iphone 3g cant receive or make calls

Dubdude

Girlfriend has a iphone 3g and over the last 2-3 wks she keeps losing all incoming and outgoing calls but she can text and use the net without any problems. When it happened first she rang vodafone and they sorted it but then no less than a day later the same thing happened so she rang again and they told her it could be the case that she needs a new chip. A week later and she got a new chip because it keeps happening and then no later than a couple of hours and all calls gone again but can still send and receive texts, go on net etc. So anyone have any info or suggestions what it could be??

I am having the same problem, bought it 2nd hand off adverts.ie. It's with Vodafone. Not reported lost or stolen. Will not make or receive calls 99% of the time. I called up Vodafone a few times about it, they did something over the phone and would then work again for one or two calls and stop again. I was told to bring it into a Vodafone shop for a sim and phone check if this continued to happen. So brought it into a shop and I was given a replacement sim, which worked when I made calls in shop so left feeling happy only for the same thing to start again. So brought it into another Vodafone shop, told them the story, they reactivated my old sim for my old nokia phone and said they were sending it off to be fixed/updated. Got a call a few days later from that store to say my phone was being sent back to them as it was out of warranty (I told them in the shop I bought it 2nd hand, was never asked about warranty). When I asked what could be done I was told that they don't fix iPhone 4 anymore???? I could pay 205 for a replacement??!!!! I do not want to pay 205 for a replacement for a 2nd handphone that only cost me slightly more than that price.

What are my options? Or how did other people sort this problem as I've seen from the Vodafone forum and boards.ie that other people have had the same problem woth iPhones and Vodafone?

Has anyone tried to get phone unlocked and move to another network?
