Help Randomly having no signal

This seems to be the cause of my problems. I have changed my settings to GSM only and it has fixed my issues. I have a mate who lives in the countryside and he has had the same problems, and this was a fix for him.

Yeah, you get slower data, and I have noticed a difference in call quality, but it's infinitely better than no call at all! This is only an issue in my house, so the rest of the time I put the original setting back on. You can get an app which changes your settings based on your location. I think it might work for these settings, but I am not 100%. The app is called "Locale" and costs around

After switching my sim between old and new phone (to regain some lost contacts) I lost signal and was locked on airplane mode. I'd also lost all my sim contacts, therefore concluded it was a problem with the sim card. If you leave the phone on, take the back cover off and just shift the card back and forth slightly you may be able to get your signal back.

Toggling the airplane mode serves the purpose of disconnecting from the current mast completely, and then tethering to a new one once you are back on again. As opposed to reconnecting to the same (poor strength) mast.

If you stumble across this thread looking for problems with connectivity then have a read of this thread, which solved the problem for me ultimately:
