iPhone 3G - Problem

[Talbs13]

Hello,

My iPhone is broken, i cant get any service. I can only get service using 3G. However, when i put my sim in another phone, it works which leads me to believe my iPhone Comboard of something like that is broken (All i get is Searching....then No Service).

Do i take it to the 02 Shop for replacement? or Apple shop for replacement?

They come with 1 year warranty right?

Cheers
J

Apple Store for replacement, they'll do it no questions asked providing it wasn't you who broke it.

It definately wasnt me!! But surely they can just say that it was me that broke it? I cant prove it....

I had basically the exact same problem only I couldn't get any service at all. Took it to local Apple Store and it was replaced on the spot, no questions asked. I didn't even have to produce an invoice.

DONT go to O2, they will make you wait up to 10 working days.

Very happy with service

My second(!) replacement iPhone suddenly dropped out of service a few days after I got it. SIM worked in another phone, but wouldn't connect in the iPhone. Turned out it was the O2 network, rather than the phone. Spent a whole night worrying I had got 3 duds in a row.

While I'm at it, my accelerometer is off by about 6° - terrible for tilt games with no calibration. I reckon I could get this replaced if I caused some fuss - but I can't be bothered at the moment.

My friend has also gone through 3 iPhones - I wonder if Apple are keeping quiet on the number of faulty exchanges!?
