3G Woes

Posted by Kyle on 5/05/2009 07:41:00 AM
Isn't the WWDC more than a month away?

And to add further insult to injury, the UAE's Etisalad has discovered an ingenious way to deplete their stock of iPhones.

This, after we signed up for an expensive data plan early last month. Well, that can be revoked after paying close to an equivalent of 100 bucks for cancellation.

Further setbacks observed with the 3G are but not limited to the frequency of dropped calls, signal losses followed by the deathly 'No Service' messages.

I wonder if all these glitches are attributed to the increase in subscribers thus affecting telco payloads or these are just crappy devices to begin with?

i think its the service provider and not the phone. it won't work to its full capacity if it can't receive the signal.


I think your comment best describes the predicament we faced the other day:

Drove from our home to the J W Marriott in Deira and then discovered 'No Service' in the iPhone. We had to swap the SIM into my BB Storm, make a call home and then insert it back into the 3G, toggle flight mode a few times before the signal bars were up & running.

But if you attribute the glitch to the service provider, why does this occur only with the 3G and not with other phones including BB's Storm?

Totally a mystery to me!
