Problem with 3 network :(

Hey guys was just using my phone on skype for a call and it cut off midway thru the call stating that the sim cant access the 3 service and i had a phone icon with a line thru it at the top of my screen on my sony ericsson. Had to turn off and restart and it happened again. Does anyone else know of this trouble???? To be honest i do love my contract for what i pay but cant wait for it to end cos the network is really annoying me now

Any ideas?????

Loss of signal?
Maybe maintenance on your local repeater? There's every chance of that in the early hours.

Otherwise, I don't know mate.

Ah well, it happens with all of them sometimes.
I quite like 3, but the internet coverage seems useless.

Re: Problem with 3 network :(

Happy with what i get for 20 quid a month. Thing is i have to sit in the exact spot at home so i can use skype to phone my gf otherwise it will loose signal which i hate having to do lol as it gets annoying sitting in 1 spot as i usually like to walk around when im on the phone. Great for what you get if/when you can get it to work. Find im using too many mins tho i nearly use all my 200 mins a month

Re: Problem with 3 network :(

Like I said, they're much of a muchness to me.
I was on Orange for a good while and they're renowned for their coverage.
But I used to have to go outside the house to make a call.
Luck of the draw I suppose.
