Hi everybody,
I'm a bit confused and new to the iphone. I recently bought a second hand iPhone 3gs from an aquaintance. So I inserted my new sim, turned the thing on and a screen with the itunes logo appeared and so I connected it to my pc and opened itunes. This activated it so I can now use the phone. The remaining problem is that in the top left corner, where the signal bars are, it displays the network (in my case O2-UK) and to the right of that it displays '3G'. So that all seems fine but there are no bars of signal whatsoever.
A lot of my google searches have given threads about the phone saying 'no service' which mine does not, mine does recognise the network and so I don't think it needs unlocking. So my question is does anybody recognise this issue and if possible could you suggest a solution.
Thanks a lot.
