Lately, every so often an alert (triangle with an exclamation mark) will pop up in the notification bar of my S3 with an error message "(Cell C) Not Registered on Network" or something to that affect. When this happens my S3 becomes a virtual paperweight and there is no comms whatsoever between the device and the network.
It seems that I then have to manually select my network provider but even when I go to the settings menu and try this it doesn't work. Generally I have to restart my phone to try to get it working again but this is also rather hit or miss.
Now before I drag Cell C's name through the mud again, can anyone tell me why I get his error message? Is it a problem with my S3 or is it a network provider/coverage related issue. My wife also has an S3 on Vodacom and she's never had this error message. This weekend it happened to me again at a friends house and I almost ended up throwing my phone against the wall. :mad:
