no offence taken , most likely that you have a hardware problem

Hardware problem you say? But like a thousand others got the same problem, so i take it we all need to go for a replacement?

Well, the rest of us can seemingly fix the problem by simply rebooting the phone. In your case that doesn't work, which suggests that it might be more than a software bug. Also, since I turned off 3G yesterday I have had no issues and in fact have 4-5 bars at all time.

Hmmm... There is a configuration in settings where you can turn off the 4-digit pin, but then it should be consistent.

I know if you do a proper shut down (hold power key then slide off) then it should ask for the PIN when turning on.
If you do a reset by holding power and home key till it reboots, then it won't ask for a PIN...
 
I went to Vodacom 3G again today, the guys there played around with the phone probally rebooted it 20times sometimes it gets a signal sometimes not or it looses the signal, so the guy gave me a new sim to test with, if this still does not work he told me to bring the phone in for repairs.
 
A Vodacom Rep just phone me to flog me a Iphone 4...
First thing....he was offering the 16G @ R304.00 with 100meg data p/m
They claim to have had no actual complaints..about the " no service" issue... what alot of crock... "Its only in the 'farm area's..."
Bolloks to vodaclots...although the price is worth investigating...

Update from my side.

As I indicated earlier, I turned off 3G completely to see if this would eradicate the problem.

From Monday until today everything was fine. However today I experienced the "No signal" issue twice. The first time I was in an elevator and after I got out it immediately found signal. The second time I was at home using Skype on the iPhone. After I ended the call I saw the "No signal" issue. Waited, saw it going into "searching" and then saying "No signal" again. This time I did not have to restart - it was sufficient to toggle airplane mode On and Off

Yeah buddy - your situation is way worse.

But it still annoying for me, because I feel like I constantly have to check the phone to make sure it has service, or otherwise I won't be able to receive calls

yea true, well i hope when i get my phone back, it wont have the problem anymore.
 
Really weird - second time this week I got the "No Service" message after an extended Skype call over WiFi
 
I hope once i get mine back from repairs it will not have this problem, or get it again.
