Faulty SIM card?

[ Edited ]

I've been experiencing some problems with my Apple payday loan iPhone 4S and am wondering of its related to the SIM card. It seems like I am losing signal randomly, despite my phone saying I have a signal. During these times, I am unable to send or receive texts or make phone calls. The problem usually resolves itself some time later, alternatively it can be solved by rebooting my phone. Just wondering if anyone can suggest a fix for this, it seems a shame for such a tribial issue to ruin my other wise superb GiffGaff experience!! Thanks in advance!!

Might be cut wrongly sim and short circuiting with the sim tray.

 

Order a Replacement sim and Try Cutting again.

 

Also Restore using ITunes, might fix the problem.

Re: Faulty SIM card?

If your sim is still getting some sort of service all the time, then the sim itself would probs be fine.

Might be worth checking the o2 website to see if theres any work going on in the area.

Do you get 'no service' or 'no sim' inserted at the top?

Re: Faulty SIM card?

check status.o2.co.uk but if that seems fine then yes its probably a SIM card problem in which case you should order a replacement SIM.

Re: Faulty SIM card?

Hi, it seems if it works somtimes then its your settings/phone and not the sim, look here http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Learn-giffgaff-Top-Tips/giffgaffer-s-guide-to-iPhone-4/td-p/52685 for Iphone settings. If you still have problems you can order a new sim.

Re: Faulty SIM card?

Iphone 4 signal
If u hold a iphone 4 normally in ur hand ur see the signal bars dissapear bar by bar all the way down till the 3G goes and no signal appears but if u place the phone on a flat surface like a table the bars one at a time start to go back up and the 3G apears again. I brought a iphone 4 case from argos for £15 but there is cheapper ones, if u put a case on then ur body heat isnt interfering with the side of the iphone keeping the iphone always on 3G and always having a signal. I have never had any problems since i had my case....
