Vodafone 703SH problem! Help? - GSM-Forum

teshi · 08-01-2006, 06:15

I hope this is the right place to ask for help, I'm not really sure where to go. Anyway, I just got an unlocked 703SH, and I think it's a great phone (Although I wish I had the 903 now) but, I have a big problem now.

It all started about 4 days ago, I came home from work and I happened to drop my phone on the floor, since I baby it, I was pretty upset, but I notice no damage had came to the phone so I put it on the charger and went to sleep. The next morning I go to make a call and it says my call has been disconnected. Which was really weird, I kept trying and trying and got the same thing. Then I decided to turn off the phone and take out the battery and restart, so I did, nothing. Then I took out my sim card and put it back in, nothing. Still getting disconnected.

Eventually I decided to take it to the mall and ask Cingular if their service is ****ed up, but on the way to the mall, I noticed it was working. Cingular told me it was the phone and to try the sim on a different phone and see what happens, so I did and it worked on the other phone.

So the problem is, I think when I droped it something happened to my phone and now it only works in certain places which is very inconvieniant. Is there anyway to fix this problem or what? I dont really know much about phones or anything, I bought this one unlocked. Any help would be much appriciated, thank you very much.

if you live in a busy area, the network might be busy.

however, this is fairly unlikely. try doing a master reset and see if that fixes any issues you might be having.

also, check how well the sim card is being held in the phone. if it is a little bit loose or not correctly in place, this might cause this kind of problem.
