Did you buy the phone secondhand? Was it jailbroken? Did you update the phone software recently?

No i didnt jailbreak it and its not second hand. The network comes back and then when out of coverage it drops and doesnt come back.

I had the same problem with my old iphone. All of a sudden I had no network coverage. This could be hit and miss. In work there are three people who sit close to me, all with iphones. None of these had any issue with signal strength. Two out of the three been on the same network as myself. I brought the phone back to o2 who were not very helpful. Initially they kept telling me it was a mast issue, even though I kept explaining that it couldn't possibly be. I was given a number and told to ring Apple support. On a phone with no signal. I wasn't very impressed.

In the end they replaced the sim card in the phone three times and it was only on the 3rd sim card when the signal returned. The phone itself turned out to be faulty a short while later.

Go to your network provider, get a few new sims, if the first one does not work. If you are still having problems with the phone, call apple directly. You will need the serial number of the phone first which can be found in the general settings.

Apple support is excellent.

This happened to me recently - went out of coverage and never picked it up again - try turning it off and on again. This sorted mine out.

The network comes back after i rebooth the phone but it goes again in a few minutes. So frustrating. I am going to have to send it for repair

There's one more option before sending for repair. The original iOS 5 software version had this problem for a certain type of SIM card that certain networks use (meteor is one) They released a fix but the only way to avail of the fix is to restore your phone through iTunes. I would try this and see what happens before going through the hassle of sending your phone off.

I am having the same issue and I have the iphone 4. I really can't figure out what went wrong. I did nothing over the last few days that would have started the problem. I got a new sim card and that did not work. I reseted the phone, nothings working. My iphone is not jail broken. Any solutions, did you get yours working OP?

Same here, over a week & two full iTunes restores, heading back to shop later to try 2nd new sim, any point in 3rd if as previous poster found phone still had fault after?

Vodafone basically told me they would try a repair at a cost, but try turning off your 3G and edge and turn off and on the phone. Seems to work then.
