    Hi all,I've just gotten the iPhone 4s and im having the same problem. I have only 1 bar in my house and i cant use anything except tx or offline games. Its frustrating as im still trying to figure the phone out and feel like im being prevented from learning to use it. I tried resetting the network and will check the sim when i find a tool that enables me to open the slot. Please can any british people give me info on external antennas? Like where can i get one from? Can i get one from a store rather than the web? What is the expected price range for this product? and are there different ones for different phones? etc.Anyway, many thanks for any/all help :)

    oh and im also having problems 'syncing' with iTunes on laptop.... Does anyone have any advice on this? Tried turning both on and off but it didn't work. It gets stuck on syncing 7 out of 7 and when i try to cancel sync it sticks :(

    I recently got my first Iphone, after using a 4 year old Nokia flip phone. My old phone got good reception here at my home on the west coast of Canada. I use the Rogers network. My new Iphone was getting only 1 or 2 bars, often cutting out completely. After going on your website, I tried attaching the computer cord, which gave me 2 bars, from 1. Then, i decided to try one of your tips, and put a piece of scotch tape on the back of the sim card....VOILA....I instantly got 3 bars...what A great tip, and why couldn't Apple do this in the first place?

    Thank you.....I was all stressed thinking I would have to send the phone back, and try another server.
  • Thanks for the info, resetting my clients network settings worked very well.
