I'm with 48 for a few months now and have this problem with dropped signal which is effecting my battery life not to mention missig calls and messages.
I have a galaxy s2 and if i leave it on standby over night and check it in the morning the "time without signal" could be as high as 58% . This morning it was 47%.
I have tried other sim's ( same conditions ) 02 and meteor on the same phone and the worst i got with them was 2% , so is there something wrong with the sim or is there a weakness in the 48 signal. I know that 48 runs on the 02 network so it should be the same . I have an 02 card in the S2 phone for the last 7.5hrs and it has not losy any signal time .
I have the 48 sim in a old nokia phone at the moment and its showing 3 to 4 bars out of 7 but the phone does not tell me if it ever loses the signal ( too old ).
I had noticed since i changed to 48 that I was not getting as much time out of my battery but i presume if the phone was losing and serching for network signal so much that would explain it.
I suppose getting a replacement sim is the next option but I'm going on holidays on Wed so that will have to wait. will just have to bring a spare o2 or meter sim just in case.
Am i missing something else , any ideas
Mick
