No Network - connection.
I don't know what it is but often when I'm out and about, I turn on my mobile (being of the generation that doesn't have it on all the time) and invariably find that, unlike other souls around me, they have a signal and I don't.
Today, just to cite one example, we went to a local pub for lunch and I looked at my mobile (it was on, on this occasion) only to find practically zilch reception. Again, other people in the pub seemed to be OK in this respect, most being able to speak on theirs. I have always been with Orange and have had PAYG phones and last year bought a new Nokia 2630 but this seems no better than my Siemens phone. In fact my partner, sitting next to me, switched on her Siemens phone and managed quite a respectable signal strength! ![]()

The only thing I can think of is that you are one of those people who cover the aerial with their hand.

I'm assumin your partner is on Orange too?
Some pubs do have pretty bad reception due to being quite old buildings. But in the more general sense, I'm not sure. Obviously some handsets are more sensative to reception. Cant really see any other reason. Preaps try their sim card in your phone? or vice-versa to try and pinpoint which is the problem? Also I don't really see the point in switching the phone off all the time? if you dont want it to interrupt you why not just press the silent button? (but thats your choice, of course) |
