Has anyone else?
had a problem with not having a signal with the iphone, I just got new iphone and I went to this bar with some friends that I have always had a signal with any other phone that I had with at&t, in fact my friends had there phones with them and they all had a good signal, they had a moto KRZR K1 att branded and a Nokia something also att branded and my iphone said no servie the hole night. I returned it for a new one since it was only a week old and they gave my another brand new one in the box and we went back this weekend and the same thing. I had no service and they all did, and it is not just at that bar, it has happened at my house to. side by side with there phones with a good signal and my with no service.

do u ever turn your phone off and back on ..... maybe a reboot
also
did they change the sim card when u got the new iPhone ???
that could possibly solve the problem as well !!
nokia phones usually have better reception but u should be just about as good as the moto if not better
i take it u have a 3g iphone
if so
put your sim card in one of their phones and put theirs in your iPhone and see if that may not show u its the phone or the SIM card ...
good luck with it

you can swing by a corporate store
have them push another update your phone
that may solve some probelms and it may not
never a guarntee
but i can say
the best solution is atleast if not more then once a week
turn your phone off and back on
i do a batter pull on my blackberry almost everyday (as i have 2 batteries)
but u don't have that as an option cause yours in internal
anyhow
try the first trick out with a friends sim card
cause your account could be having issues also
i have seen that a time or two when something on the backend of our system will hinder your reception
thats when a phone call to customer service asking for tech support may do u wonders

I do not believe the other phone's SIM will work in the iPhone. iPhone has its own SIM, which will work in other phones but not vice versa (from what I have been told by a Telecom manager I work with, it may burn the non-iPhone SIM).
...
That is correct Fredd per CSP it is not recommended to do a swim swap with iphone...or vice versa with a 3g device and 2g device. 🙂 HOwever the iphone doesnt have a special sim it is the same 3g sim just provisioned different on the network with the visual voicemail provisioning.

CSP is wrong .... i have never hurt a phone by doing that .... atleast a 3g iPhone so far
and i have put many of 2g sims in 3g phones to copy contacts and vice versa .... never been a problem
who ever wrote that on CSP is not a very good troubleshooting technician

THAT IS NOT TRUE !
its the same sim card in everyphone

I don't know if you have read many reviews on the iphone but poor signal strength is a common complaint with the phone. And of course....at&t gets the bad rap for it. Yet, as you have shown other at&t phones aren't having the problems it is iphone specific. Depending on your feature needs I'm sure there is a phone out there that will have better reception and better battery life to boot.
