    its not a carrier problem its a widespread problem google it

    out of a class of 25 - 5 of us bought the 4s and all had problems

    return the phone to apple it will cost you 29 euro for the ups courier service and they will deliver you a brand new 1 in 3 days

    Make sure you are running 5.01 (the NEW version).

    Verify that the version is now iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) in Settings > General > About.
    Not 5.01 (9A405)
    I had this issue along will failed texts....replaced my phone and the problem still existed.

    The new version of 5.01 came out last week and solved all of my problems.

    You have to connect to iTunes and restore the phone for the update

    I'm having the same problem its so frustrating I'm on O2 bill pay and they've checked my signal etc and said it isn't them so it must be the phone. I've updated it to the IOS 5.1 hoping it would solve it but its still happening. Phone is out of warranty Any Idea???

    Apple have replaced the phone and its still happening, its not in one place, ie home, can be anwhere, holding the phone on using bluetooth car kit.

    Its like it looses all signal, after it fails you are unable to call back as it keeps saying call failed until the signal drops completely and then comes back up and then you can make calls, very frustrating.

    what firmware is the new one running ?

    i have a friend who had similar issues but since ios 5.1 update everything is fixed and its now the phone it should always have been :D

    Still using the original sim ? Do u get any issues with sim pin lock ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,933 ✭✭✭keith_d99


    I get this after every os update - dropped calls.

    Reset network settings (you will lose wifi passwords) - works perfectly for me after that

    I'm on O2 as well - must be something to do with their carrier settings


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭brightkane


    No issues with pins. Will change sim if resetting network doesn't work , cheers for advice
