I have been having quite a few singal issues. I lose my connetion all the time. One mine I have 2 bars and the next I get No service. I have recently had messages pop up about my cellular settings being lost as well, and its getting right annoying as people have been texting me and calling me and I have not been receiving their messages or calls

I am thinking of taking it back to the Vodafone shop for repairs, but I am concerned that I spilt some water on the phone about 8months ago and even though the phone has been working fine untill now. I have a feeling that there not going to help with my signal fault. :(
 
You can check for water damage yourself.

Look down in the Headphone jack. theres a Silver pad, if its RED then it has had water in there. There is also another silver pad in the dock connecter. (Harder to see) you might need a torch and something to clear any dirt out.
 
The headphone jack is ok, and is not red. There is a red tab below the dock connector.

Some one mentioned that there are some internal ones as well, I am guessing there are gonna be the most important ones???
 
I have contacted Vodafone, who said that my SIM card is a 2G, and as my iPhone is 3Gs, this is why I have my signal issues. There sending me a new SIM card out today.

I am not sure if this will resolve my issue? But I am willing to try anything right now.
 
It sounds like Vodafone are talking rubbish, especially as it has worked fine until now.

If it doesn't work, get down to the Apple store and ask them to replace it.
 
I am quite shocked, but I put the new Sim card into my phone and activated it, within 10 mins. I now have a full signal and I am sending and receiving texts.

It looks like my 8 year old Sim card, was finally on its last legs afterall :eek: ;)
