Velian tells truth. This problem is caused by bad "BA" (not swith between 900MHz and 1800MHz network), its common thing on T68i. Take the phone to the nearest service.

I've had the same trouble, now on my 4th and seems to be ok so far. Orange Care have always been very good about changing the phones, but its a real pain.

I have exactly the same problem with my t68i using T-mobile in America. Unfortunately, my phone is over a year old, and thus out of warranty. Is there anything I can change on my phone? Otherwise I'll have to buy a new phone.

I had T 68i but I never had that problem. My signal was always good. But sometimes my phone restarted when I had been calling.
This message was posted from a T610

Yep, had the same thing for ages with my T68i on T-Mobile UK.
Always that fucking annoying "No Access" message, and the infuriating three-beeps that greets every attempted call. No matter where I was. Basically the phone was totally useless.
However, whack a Vodafone or O2 SIM in it (both GSM900) and full signal and perfect call quality all the time.
Apparently it's due to a software problem concerning operation on the 1800MHz GSM band.

It's messed up on the 1900 band as well, since I'm using the phone in the States. It worked great while I was in europe, but totally sucks here. Nevertheless, thanks. I'm off to the store to see if a firmware upgrade might fix the problem.... otherwise, I'll be finding me a new phone.

I had this happen 3 times with 3 different T68i's on Orange. Each time the tech support guy would just say its a phone fault.
I now have a T610 on Ornage, as i was due for a free yearly upgrade. When I went to do this (in the Ornage shop in Edinburgh) there was a guy in there complaining that his T68i was doing the very same thing.
The orange assistant then said that Orange are aware of the problem!! But there is nothing they can do, as its a phone fault from SE. They say SE are aware as well, and that Orange almost terminated their contract with SE over this problem, as they didnt seem to want to acknowledge any problem!!
Thing is, I think it may well be an Orange problem, when they put their software on the phone. Ive had my T610 now for a few months, and the "No access" screen has appeared once! It only lasted for about 2 minutes (I had gone for 15 minutes on my T68i), but even so, this shouldnt happen! Ive havent reported it to Orange, but if it happens again, I will.

My brother had this exact same problem and narrowed it down to a faulty car kit putting out too much voltage

I had the same problems with the T68i as mentioned above (3 beeps and connection drops).
1.) Had my handset replaced - no use.
2.) After the guy at the T-Mobile store exchanged my SIM card with a new one the problem was gone for 3 weeks. Then it came back.
3.) I thought this has to do with the SIM card again. I put a small piece of cardbord (~3 mm thick) on the SIM and put the battery back in. This clearly presses the SIM tighter onto the metal contacts of the phone. Since then I haven't had the problem again but it comes back if I take the cardbord back out. Hope this helps, hoffes-
