Title: Mobile phone.....constant network search.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 30 December 2015, 16:30:58: At first I thought a mast or two was down due to the weather.

Then I thought my phone was faulty.

However, I've moved the SIM to an old phone and I still get exactly the same message.

Sim fault?

Thanks, Mr Zirk.

I've found four networks......Vodafone, 3G, 02, and T-Mobile.

How does this help, or not?

Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 31 December 2015, 12:16:42: I have just spoken with a customer services operative from India ( because apparently this offers the best customer service to a valued customer such as myself)

They are sending out a new SIM card........as they believe the original to be Donald Ducked.

Post by: tunnie on 31 December 2015, 12:20:21: What model of phone?

SIM cards don't just fail, unless damaged by constant removal and refitting. Even then, they fairly tough.

Post by: zirk on 31 December 2015, 12:53:00: I reckon the Sim activation has fallen off the system, which may have been sortable had CS asked you to confirm the Sim ID number whilst on the phone, but alias they work of there script. :-X

Hopefully a new Sim will get you out of trouble, probably still need to get it activated though.

If I'm being honest honest it was thrown against the wall by a person of the female persuasion. With the phone attached to it, obviously.
