That is funny, because I have been having the exact same problem with my
Nokia 1100 phone on orange. I don't use it a great deal but tend to leave it
on constantly. I am recently finding that when I pick it up after not having
used it for half a day or more there is no signal, but my wife, also with
Orange (but a different phone) has a string signal. If I switch the phone
off and on agai it comes back with full strength signal. I wondered if the
phone was faulty or the Network was rejecting the connection after being
inactive for a certain period of time?
