My phone says it has signal, but I don't believe it.

My iPhone 4S on Vodafone most of the time claims to have two or three bars when it's in my room, sometimes even data, but when I try to make a call, it won't connect for 10 seconds, and will then just give me a "beep beep beep", sometimes then showing "no service". Same when sending a text. One, maybe two bars... text hangs at 90% or so and won't send.

When I do actually have signal it's fine, but it really annoys me that my phone claims to have signal, but can't do anything. Does anyone else get this?
 
I have almost the opposite. If my phone loses signal then texts won't send even if I go back into signal. If I go to make a call the phone catches on and 'finds' signal again then I can text again.

Aggravating.
 
When o2 took the mast down that was ~100 metres from my house, the signal was useless even though it would climb as high as 3 bars sometimes. It was though the signal was there, but of terrible quality.
 
Just saw this on an episode of QIXL which basically said there is no set standard for what the bars mean as far as signal goes. I think they are their just to make you feel connected !
 
I have a similar situation with Vodafone, I get no signal (No Service) when at home yet I can make and receive calls but when at work, with 2 bars I cant do jack! lol
