Hi guys
I have an iPhone 6 and keep having problems with passing data over the Vodafone network.
A few weeks ago I had the handset replaced by Apple. I was running iOS 8.3, and basically, sometimes when I was in an area I knew I should have signal, the iPhone would report no signal (my work phone is also Vodafone and would report signal). Cycling airplane mode wouldn't fix it, it would take a full reboot of the phone to ger signal back. I tried a new sim, fresh, manual restore of 8.3 (so didn't restore from backup) but nothing cured it so apple replaced it.
Now, the replacement I have is running iOS 8.4, and has a similar but slightly different problem. The phone reports it ha signal but when I try and use it, it will not pass data (it won't even send a short iMessage let alone browse). If I cycle airplane mode, it starts working instantly. I've tried a new SIM card but that hasn't helped. I haven't tried a restore yet because I'm running 8.4 instead of 8.3 now.
Is this new problem more likely to be a handset/software issue, a network issue or a SIM card issue? Want to know whether it's worth another visit to the Apple Store because the nearest is over an hour away.
Thanks
