Is the Problem My Phone or Network

Ask a Question

My very old phone keeps losing network. I know my phone has issues it getting replaced soon. Not sure if the network is at fault in this case. I'm with smarty which runs on the 3 network

I found out there was problem with the network so 🤞 no more problems

It might be your signal In where you live. Whatever network I go with I suffer the same problems as I have buildings In front of me and behind me. Tall buildings now. It cant be your phone as that Is Impossible.

Emerge11 it can be the signal tho sometimes when it's a old sim card they don't do updates on them so they can lose signal happened with my dad's he phoned them and did the update he had no signal for a while tho while they was doing it

You can check what the signal is like in your area. If it’s supposed to be good then probably could be your phone

When this sort of thing happens to me my grandkids always say REBOOT! Try turning off for 3 minutes and then back on.

I didn’t realise how bad the 3 signal is here until I changed provider. I just accepted 3 but Vodafone signal is so much better.

RWG mobile are still doing 24 months of 2GB data, 250 mins and 250 texts for £35 one off price which is £1.46 per month and no need to keep changing every 3 or 6 months like on other deals you are set for 2 years. It's enough for me anyway as I use wifi where possible.
