Cant retain a signal

    Hi,
    hope this is in the right place, mods please move if its not.

    I recently signed up to a contract with Tesco Mobile and got myself a Samsung Galaxy Y. So far so good except for one annoying glitch. A few times a day my phone will lose its signal (as happens naturally in certain areas) but once it does it wont get it back again until i switch it off and back on again.

    I brought it back to the shop twice. First time the guy reckoned it was because I had manual network selection on instead of automatic network selection. And second time, he recommended turning off my wi-fi and mobile internet when they are not in use, but none of this has helped.

    Any help or idea from anyone before I wadi the phone altogether?

    Thanks.

    Try your SIM card in another device , this will determine whether there is a fault on the SIM, phone, or network

    Settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode>wcdma only

    This improved my internet and network somewhat. (I'm with 3) So give that a go?

    This worked for me thanks. Turns out it was the sim card was the problem. Thanks to those who posted and sent PM's. Much appreciated
