Optus 3G

is there a problem with the towers or something? I cannot get a 3G signal with my phone. It's impossible. No internet connection at all.

It was working fine on the weekend, but since Sunday night I can't get a signal anywhere. Is something up?

Me and the mrs have a signal so if there's an issue it's most likely a local tower or your phone.

I'm hoping it's a local tower. This is pissing me off. No signal at all for over two days now.

There is a lot of tower upgrading going on at the moment. If it's more than 3 days I would speak to customer service. Let's just hope they're updating the capacity in your area

On the blower to tech support right now.

Also, today is the third day without a 3G connection.

Well they reckon the SIM card is most likely on the way out. Did some isolation tests and it seems so.

Just went down to an Optus World shop and got a new SIM. We will see if it works in an hours time...

That happened to me a few months ago, a new sim card fixed it

Sim card did FUCK ALL.

So you've tried your sim in other phones, have you tried other sims in your phone?

Tried my sim in my old phone and it worked fine. Tried my brothers sim in my phone and it didn't work. Looks like it's my phone.

Contemplating whether to return it for a new one or perform a factory restore.

When I check my phone status, the 3G icon/symbol has a big X over it. Phone problem or is Optus hindering me?

Sounds like a phone problem

Mine was a sim problem, when I did the factory restore it stopped detecting the sim and I couldn't use the phone until I got a new one

I might just live with it for the next week, then when I come back from Europe ill follow it up with Optus and get a new phone out of them (same type though, XperiaX10)
