I put my phone in for repairs a week and a half ago, and got it back Thursday last week.
I was hoping this would be the last of the problem, but it seems not. Again I have no connection on the phone, yet it's saying that it's on 4 bars signal strength.
paradigmshifty, did you say you had a 3 capable phone spare that I can borrow? If so, can you send it to me? I'll pay for postage for it.

I'll use it for a while and see if it does the same thing. If it does then I know that the problem is with 3. If it doesn't, then I know the problem is with this phone.
Spoke with Three again, and they're out of ideas. If this loan phone does the same thing, then it's a problem with the network and will have have to leave Three. If it doesn't do it (and I'm intending to give it at least two weeks to check) then there must be a problem with my current phone and I'm going to ask to get it replaced.
It's more likely a phone problem than a network one, otherwise they would have more reports of it. Especially as part of Three's network is Telstra.
I beleive it's a phone problem as well, whether it's a problem with that individual phone, or that make/model I don't know. We will see what happens.
The phone is buggy - there's a firmware upgrade that you can get, but you have to take it to a specific place to do it.
The network is ... well, a kind person would say "patchy". With Orange on CDMA, I had beautiful reception pretty much everywhere. Now, I can walk from one end of my small office to another and lose the signal completely. So it's not just you - the 3 network seems to have very large holes in it.
