Iphone 4 failing to send and receive texts/calls

Hi

Every now and then at least once a day my phone will fail to send texts unless I turn phone off and back on, usually after doing this I then receive texts that people have sent hours or even days ago!

When it is in this state I am also unable to make or receive calls, again until I turn my phone off and back on!

Can anyone advise as to what this problem is?? My old Iphone 3g had the exact same problem.

Thanks in advance

iphone 4, iOS 4

Thanks so much djace_ent.


Tried toggling on and off Cellular Data, and it instantly worked.


I recieved a number of texts that were sent over the day instantly.


I have been trying to figure out how to solve this problem without restoring my phone for two months now. I had almost resigned to restoring my phone again for the third time.

I have an iphone 4 am using iOS 5.1 and cant send texts to a perticular number unless i turn 3g network access off which drives me nuts as it is the main number i text and everything that uses data is sooooo slow without 3g on. i called my carrier they said they are already aware of the issue and are looking into it. have you tried turning your 3g network access off?
