Problem with W810i

Pete.g

I have just recieved a SE W810i on 02 contract (a week ago), The problem is it is forever displaying "no network coverage" and "emergency calls only" even when I have full signal strength, it's only very occasionally it actually displays what it should ie: "02 uk"

Also the battery strength is extremely poor as i'm having to recharge it daily and that's with minimal use.

Are these common problems with the W810i or do I just have a dodgy phone?

I have been on 02 PAYG for the past few years and to be honest the reason I went for an 02 contract was because the signal is so good.

As i'm still in my 1st 14days of the contract should I just replace the phone like for like?

Thanks,

Pete.

is it a recon/refurbished phone?

ask for an exchange and if they don't agree or don't reply within your cooling off period, send back and cancel the contract. (best check if they charge any 'admin fees' for returns)

Sounds like the SIM has been disconnected - try the SIM in another phone to see if it gets a signal in there (and likewise, try another SIM in the W810i if you have one spare that you know works).
