Hmmm...My phone no longer works around my Office?!

Just came back from holiday. Phone worked fine before I left, but when i got to work today, it no longer works?!:cool:

it's inside and outside my building. Quite strange, if you watch my phone (iPhone 4) you can see the signal drop from full to nothing.

I'm with 3, not had any problems with them til now. Bit baffled really. I don't think theres anything I can do, but can someone confirm this? Is it even worth calling 3?

Meh...

    Depends - a base station could be out of service or relocated, but putting your SIM into another handset is always the best bet.

    Checked on the 3 website and it says there is no planned maintenance for my postcode, theres a mast 2 minutes away.

    Can't really try my SIM in another handset, I haven't got a spare iphone 4, and no one else in my office has one.

    It's really strange!

    Wouldn't need to be another iPhone. Any phone that will take a 3 sim will do. It's just to prove whether there's a strong 3 signal available or whether there's something wrong with your handset.

    I wonder if the company has put a jammer in?
