We heard some news from tech.co.uk that users of the iPhone have reception problem with the iPhone on the O² network in the UK where other O² users don’t have any trouble at all.

They claim that this mostly due to battery problems with the iPhone. When the battery is fully charged the signal strength goes up.

One users says: “My Apple iPhone can barely pick up even the slightest signal, although on occasion can pick up three bars, only for it to drop out again. I have two other 02 phones, a Sony Ericsson and a Nokia N95 with no reception problems at all. Is anyone experiencing same problem with their Apple iPhone, I would like to hear from you,”.

One sollution to this problem can be a full restore of the iPhone: “After reading this thread and others, I did a restore of the Apple iPhone back to factory (1.1.2) and voila - success. On my desk no service to one bar again (best I can hope for) but in the bay window I now get three bars which is great,” wrote ‘Cottycam’.
