iphone 3gs hassles - BOOSST - 23-07-2019
I have an iphone 3gs with o2 never let me down, always loved it.
But in the last week or so it has decided to keep losing signal on me and dropping calles etc. Most of the time is states no service, or searching and doesn't show 3g symbol at all.
They are a nightmare and delicate mobile to take apart and just wondered if anyone had any oadvice ? It's a nightmare not having a working mobile !!!
I am not due for a new phone till November..

Is it jailbroken? I had that once. Restoring it fixed it.

Insurance might be a option for a new phone.
Call o2 and tell them you can't always make calls, they see they are losing money and may up grade early or replace the handset

Sparkystav Is it jailbroken? I had that once. Restoring it fixed it.
A full restore through iTunes would be the first thing I would try.

Ok, without splitting hairs I have done it hard and soft today.. no joy so far.. But had it in bits, which was scarey and checked as much as i could. Sadly, broke the litle plastic holder for the sim card.. DOH, so ordered one of e bay. Once that turns up i can look at how it is and maybe then try the jailbreak on it if it is still not playing ball..
At least i got my old phone working so can be text and called for now...
Appreciate the input and help though guys :thumbup1:
