I've tried everything I can think of . The phone shows the network in the top left corner and can receive calls a texts, just can't answer lol... Odd one

Do you think it would be possible to restore a fresh version of 4.0.2 on to the phone? I might try that.

Thanks for that. It says "This Hacktivation Patch (LockDown) is compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS & iPhone 4 running iOS 3.1.2, iOS 3.1.3, iOS 4.0 & iOS 4.0.1" but I'll try it anyway
