Bookmark topic
i have a t68i which has been replaced four times so far through orange's insurance all for the same problem. the signal strength when i go to make calls dissapears and i get three beeps in my ear. im lucky if one in ten calls connect.....help. is's so frustrating. surely i cant of had four phones from orange all with the same problem, am i that unlucky?
if i put another orange sim into the phone that gets the same problem and when i put my sim into another orange phone then that will connect all day long.
sometimes i will get the words no access in the screen other times a symbol that looks like a cassette with a cross over it.
i have had a T68i now for nearly two years and never till recently had any problems. will eventuall upgrade to the t610. however that wont/cant be till january.
orange keep sending the problem to tech support which takes forever only to come back with the answer that i need a phone replacement....deeeeeeee. problem is they all seem to do the same thing...
has anyone else suffered as i am or could it possibly be something else.
all suggestions gratefully received.

Are you getting this in the same place, or does it happen where ever you are. This sounds as if it may be a problem with reception in the area you are in.

has or should say its happening all over but as i say if i put someone elses sim in mine then that dont work where as it was before and mine will work with another phone. i know its the phone really but just lack the technical proof to shut orange up. i was also just wondering how many others, or is it just me, suffering from this problem? needed to know if im just unlucky or if other orange users suffer the same problems with different phonesa thus pointing towards a network problem or maybe a coman problem with this particular model handset on orange. just clutching at straws at the moment peeps!!!!!

i have exactly the same problem and I am currently trying to get orange to give me a different phone, due to a new one not solving the problem. not getting anywhere though... does anyone know if I have any consumer rights to a different model when I phone simply doesnt work?

I've had similar probs with my t68i,i think that if theres a good reception then its ok but a slightly poor reception and the t68i sees it as a really bad reception,its gotta be the phone.
Offer the extra money to Orange and have a t610

Actually it is a bad phone. You are just "lucky" to get bad replacements as well
. I had a t68i with TMobile - USA and it did the same stuff that you are saying. I got it replaced and everything is ok now.

Had the same problem on orange nl but for some reason my phone just started working. Didn't change anything. Maybe the phone had to get used to 1800 network. I have had on problems at all with vodafone. Had my phone replaced 8 months ago.

The T68i has possibly the worst reception of any phone I've ever used. I think it is a combination of bad firmware and a crappy antenna. The T68i craps out on weaker signals even when other phones can handle them pretty well. I picked up a R520m and it works much better than the T68i and T306 in the same areas.

I also get exactly the same problem. What makes it more annoying is the fact that my phone alternates between full signal and no signal, seemingly every 2-3 seconds. So I look at my phone and see that I've got a full signal, dial a number, only then to be cut off 2 seconds later when the signal drops.
My location doesnt seem to matter - this happens all over the place.
At least I know I'm not the only one. I'll refer to these posts when I phone up and complain.
Cheers
