Hit & miss connections on O2

[Him & Her]

Hi all,

The tale of two phones on O2, a Nokia 5200 and a Samsung E250 in
separate towns about 40 miles apart.

Calls between the two are getting to be all but impossible. We
manage to connect perhaps 1 call in 6, when we do get a
connection it is like trying to hold a conversation with Colin
Crompton. If you're lucky you will get 2 or 3 words in each
sentence.

Our limited testing points to O2 rather than either phone. When
together last weekend we had a selection of phones & networks.
Most dialled calls (from O2, Orange & Virgin) to the O2 phone
failed without making a connection. The calls that did make it
were poor quality.

Whilst most failed calls ended with 3 beeps calls from the Virgin
phone gave us a recorded message saying "you have dialled an
incorrect number" regardless of being dialled manually or via
phonebook.

These phones are a mix of locked / unlocked so we have been
swapping about all with the same result.

Phones used are Nokia 5200(U) Samsung E250(L-o2) Samsung
E250(L-Virgin) Samsung S55(U) Motorola V500(L-Orange) Nokia
6100?(L-Orange) Samsung E800(U).

Any thoughts are possible problems before we contact O2?

Regards,

Try your phones with sims from a third network, if it's still doing it,
it's phone faults.
If not, it's a network problem

Have done. Have used O2, Orange & Virgin in the unlocked phones.
Dialling to either O2 number presents great difficulty in getting
connected or having a useful connection. Other networks are fine.

Problem is that the O2 sims are showing a good strong signal but
have gone crap, no problem with it until about 3 weeks ago.

Very lucky - there was a memorial tree to him outside my local for over
twenty years...
