I've never had a problem with signal on mine, in fact it's better than my S2 was in the same areas. Tell us some more info.... Have you activated the SIM, changed your Bolt On, set up the APN's etc. Check your postcode on the service status page for any network issues (the snow can be a problem in some areas)..... etc.....

Wher I live O2 claim Good signal outdoors, Poor signal indoors. Both the missus and me have S3's and at times one or other of the phones will lose signal indoors for maybe just a minute or so. Very random as to which phone.

One thing I do know, when the phones are connected to our home wi-fi niether phone will have a signal. Both come up with the message "O2 unavailable" with an x beside the signal bar. Only mobile I've ever had that this has happened on.

There may be an issue with your handset. You can take it back to O2 to get it checked out. The other thing you can try is switching to GSM only in Settings >More Settings>Mobile Network >Network Mode and select "GSM Only"

It's not just you, my phone always has little or no signal! I have to restart my phone sometimes just to get a bar! Took it in to o2 and they did a sim swap but still didn't do anything!

Insist on getting your phone repaired. If it's faulty you don't have to put up with it.

I have taken up a 24 month contract with 02. I'm usually not one to complain, however I'm totally stuck and don't know what to do about it. My Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini which I bought in the summer has never worked right.

I contacted 02 chat the same week when I started not being able to receive calls or send texts, they advised to change a setting, and restart my handset- worked for about a day.

Then I took it into the 02 shop in my town, they advised they had no sim cards left but I needed a sim swap - travelled to the next town and tried the sim swap which worked ok for another while...

Came in again and they tried sending my phone away it came back a week after and worked for another while..

It's now Middle of November, and the people in my 02 shop are telling me I have Signal issues where I live which is definately not the case as I have lived here all my life and never have issues. I'm paying a lot of money for a phone that doesn't work and feel like I am stuck on this contract paying for a so called "phone" that cannot "phone" or be "phoned" please helpppp me.

If there is a problem with a mast in your area, or if they doing any kind of 4G roll-out infrastructure work etc etc that will have an impact on your reception. The length of time you've lived there isn't a factor.

You can check mast status at www.status.o2.co.uk/

If you feel you are getting nowhere with cs you can always raise a complaint.
