no real problems with our 2 4s but would advise you book a genius appointment at apple and get it checked whilst in warranty if faulty it will be replaced.

 

Assuming you have done all self help like new sim resets etc

Have you checked that. 02 is not undergoing mast works in your area.

Are family and friends getting good signal where you are.

Simply turning the iPhone off and on helps reset it which I do once a week.

Also there's the virtual battery pull of turning off the phone then hold the power button down followed by the home button until the apple sign appears. Let go of the home button followed by the power button.

I've used the 4 , 4s and now the 5 and have always found then to hold onto signal better than most phones.

Hope all resolves for you.

Thanks for your help, no I have not done new sim reset etc, I am a bit of a novice when it comes to mobile phones & especially the iPhone.
