It's indeed a shame, my Iphone costs 789eur. The basic things of a smart phone does not work! Mostly no 3G, only Edge. Phonecalls or not possible, I hear only a robot voice from the caller :-) Sometimes calls just ends. No Signal whatever. Apple managers, please act !!!! Or next Phone will not be Apple anymore. 😠 😮😠 Iphone5, 32GB, Mobistar BE.

there are a lot of different advice ive been given and tried unsucessfully until i contacted apple direct .now i know the 100% solution to get 3g back..but only if youve recently upgraded or changed your phone..JUST CONTACT YOUR CARRIER..THEY HAVE FORGOT TO ACTIVATE 3G ON YOUR PHONE..it takes 5 seconds and they dont need your phone in their hands.this is nearly always why the problem occurs so if youve recently changed phone and have been banging your head trying to get 3g your misery is over!

Well it's the last day of 2013 today and apparently there's still no solution to this problem. I'm also still facing this problem in Singapore. It's really a hassle to keep rebooting your phone just to get the 3G signal back on. Also, may I point out the weak wifi signals when using certain phone cases? When I use my Mercury jelly case, my wifi signal drops to just 1 bar even when I'm home. I have to use the Kate Spade case one now to get better signals as it doesnt cover the top right corner where the antenna is located.


Anyhoo, the 3G problem still persists. Apple, please do something about these issues!
