I have had a Nokia N80 for about 3 months now - when at home, or anywhere other than at work, I have no problems making/receiving calls or going online via 3G.
When at work, I have a competely different experience. Firstly, I was not able to go online via 3G. The phone shows a 3G connection, but when I actually try to go to a URL, I get a server connection failure.
About two weeks ago, the phone kept shifting from UTMS(3G) to GSM and back, randomly, and I could only make/recieve calls when in GSM mode. The signal also dropped from nothing to full intermittently. Various calls to MTN all resulted in the same outcome: the handset was blamed. The problem went away after 2-3 days.
Now I have a similar problem again, since last wednesday. The phone is constantly trying to establish a 3G connection to MTN MMS, then some data is sent for about 5 mins, and then the connection is dropped. While this is happening, any incoming/outgoing calls are cut off, with the message: connection error.. My data logs show many MTN MMS connections a day, despite my outbox being empty, and me not having sent any MMS's. Each time, between 300bytes and 1kb is sent.
A call to 16200 yeilded no solution. I was told by Simon to go to www.commonwarrior.com and download/install antivirus software. This URL does not exist, nor do I get any search results for this name.
To me it seems illogical that the problems I have experienced are the result of a virus. Why then do I not experience any problems when connected to towers other than the one at work? And even when I am at work, why do all the problems end when I force the phone into GSM only mode?? Also, why would a virus try to connect via MTN MMS and not MTN DATA?
Any help will be greatly appreciated..
