iPhone 5 orange signal

ohplease

Hi, is anyone else experiencing this? Ive had my phone since Wednesday and the signal isnt great at all. Majority of the time its in no service.

Ive done the network reset settings, taken the simcard out and reinserted etc, but still nothing.

Any help or advice would be great

May be it's the signal to blame, not the phone?

ohplease

See this is what I thought. Considering Ive moved from o2 and dont know what orange's signal is like, but someone who I work with is on orange and while I have no signal they have full.

Im hoping its just a bug in the software

Are you working on Sunday or do you work 100 meters from your home?

It's always advised to check the signal before changing network.

ohplease

I work on a rota basis, so yeh i work Sundays too (lucky me -_-)

Well with them apparently having 98.something% network coverage and saying pretty much if you havent got signal its your phone whats the problem, thought I would be ok.

I asked my work colleague what their signal was earlier on while we was in the same place and theres was full and mine had none :S

The OP has no signal their friend has a full signal in the same location, Not anything to do with Orange masts is it?

Orange also use T-Mobile masts, have T-Mobile gone naff as well?

I have an iPhone 5 on Orange, and I'm occasionally finding that it goes to "No Service", even when other Orange iPhones next to me have a strong signal. I have to do one of three things to make it connect again:

• Restart the phone
• Turn on aircraft mode for 30 seconds and then back off again
• Do a network search under Settings, Carrier, Automatic=off to find EE manually

I have reported this to Apple. Please do the same.

Welcome to the merge of T-Mobile 2G signal into EE, even with 3G your calls will default to T 2G if its nearer than a old Orange 2G mast.

The 2G issue has been on 1 mast for 8 years near me, TMob solution "buy a 3G handset and lock to 3G" :eek:

Why is that specifically affecting iPhone 5 users, while adjacent iPhone 4 handsets are unaffected?

Same as me on 3GS...

Apple phones use cheap internal parts. the O/T-Mob signal share made the problem so bad I had to give up the 3GS.
