iphone5 3G signal loss
My iphone 5 is on iOS 8.2. It keeps losing 3G signal frequently. I need to reset my network setting to bring the signal back. Very frustrating. Is there a solution?

Hello vpraghu,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you frequently need to reset network settings on your iPhone 5 to regain your cellular data connection. This does sound frustrating.
Next, I'd recommend trying these additional troubleshooting tips from If you can't connect to a cellular network or cellular data to see if they correct the behavior:
- Restart your iPhone or iPad.
- Check for a Carrier Settings Update.
- Remove the SIM card then reinsert it. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or doesn't fit in the SIM tray, contact your carrier.
- Try another location. If possible, see if other devices are able to connect to your carrier's network in that location.
- Contact your carrier to:
- Verify that your account is active and in good standing.
- Make sure there are no outages in your area.
- Check that your device is not blocked from receiving cellular services and set up with the right data plan.
All the best,
Jeremy
