Morning all
Has anyone one else had this problem...

Last night between 10 and 11 pm both myself and the g/f could not phone each
other, I was in Stockport and the g/f was in west Yorkshire way. Each time
we tried the phone dialled the number but then there was nothing. Both texts
and GPRS worked. My signal strenth was at full power....Both of us are on
T:mobile.

These things happen, maybe overloaded cells at the time.
Text are carried on a sub channel, so much more likely to get through on a
full cell

That's why i carry two phones on different networks

I've been in a situation where the phone thinks it's got a 3G signal and
tries to use that despite the fact that it's crap and there's a perfectly
good GSM signal available. The net result is that it doesn't make calls
until you turn off the 3G.
