My phone is constantly searching for signal, had it a few days now.

I get signal when im outside, the second I step in anywhere with a roof over my head it searches for signal and nobody can get through. Seems a bit shit.

Anybody having trouble with their phone providers atm?

iphone4 btw.

Guessing you've tried multiple sims/networks and different locations?

I think there was a problem with the software and poor signal when these came out. Might need software update.

Try a different phone with the same SIM.

If you don't get the same problems, your phone is duff.

Hard reset might do the trick...

Yep, got one of those sim convertors and stuck it in my iphone 3gs and seemed fine.

It's on the very latest, 4.3.3 I think? Can't remember. Did it last night anyway.

Knowing whittie, he probably acquired it in some shady way, so that's probably not an option

i'd stick another network sim in the 4 and see if it's still the same as it could be a network issue in that location on the 4.
But it does look like a hardware fault if other phones work fine using that sim/network and in the iphone 4 'black spot' locations. See if you can borrow another 4 to rule the phone being duff and if so get it replaced.

Edit - If it isn't nicked/off the back of a lorry and it's still in warranty, your local Apple store should replace it.

Whittie if it's from a shop I don't understand why you don't just take it back?

I mean, you are about to spend £15 to get it unlocked, surely it would be easier to just get them to give you a replacement that works no?

I'm guessing he wants to try a different network SIM in it, but I would just personally take it back and save the £15?
