Scrambled weird noise when I call out or someone calls me

Can someone help me understand why I get a weird alien noise and cannot call out? When people call me they hear the same noise too.
Is it network problems or my phone.
Really need help in fixing this as I need my phone for work 😞

Hi Musicalgal, what area of the country are you in? I had similar issue near Maidenhead.

Me and my brother are both getting this problem in Slough, both on the iphone 3G, one on contract, one on PAYG.
Strangely, if you hang up and phone again, it cures it.

I live in Maidenhead and having the same problems!
I've got a 3gs on the latest firmare 4.1, and the problem is getting worse.
Ringing out and incoming calls, sound like a 'fax machine on drugs!'
Though, if I hang up, and redial, its fine.
I've contacted technical support, and I was told to 'reset' all settings, but this was to no avail. Next option is to go to nearest apple store for a genius appointment, and if it can't be fixed, I get a replacement phone (if in warranty).
First problem with this, is that the nearest apple store is in London(not very local at all), and secondly, I bet they come up with an excuse about water damage, although my phone hasn't been in any contact with water! (Anyone watch watchdog about this?)

Okay thanks for that, i'll bare that in mind, as the other option I have is to get O2 to send off for repair!
Sending off for repair, or go into london for repair (apple store) could be a fruitless exercise if the problem is a network issue in and around maidenhead/slough ie: they wont find a problem with phone.
