Damn iPhone


This is more of a question than a rant-

Have any of you iPhone users had to reboot your iPhone because you realized you weren't getting any calls, or that the calls you were trying to make weren't connecting?

I had this weird problem this morning where I was trying to dial in to a conference call and the phone just pretended it dialed and just sat there. I thought the problem was with the conference line at work, maybe the meeting hadn't started yet or something. But then I tried to dial my desk, and then the local time and nothing was working.

So I shut the phone down (which took forever) and turned it back on. Suddenly I had 3 voice mails and some text messages from earlier in the morning. Great. Apparently people had been trying to reach me and couldn't.

Has this happened to any of y'all?

never happened to me. are you using the latest update? my biggest problem is actually an AT&T problem - in that i have NO signal within 2 blocks of my house as of about 2 months ago. i yelled at the phone team about it thinking we had broken something but no, it's AT&T...which sucks because i can't walk down the hall and yell at them to fix it. bummer.

I've had that problem on a Nokia, Motorola, and Blackberry all on the AT&T network.

Ditto. AT&T works great everywhere but in my home. Of course I live on the ground floor of a 9 story building.

i did see that problem on my treo. so maybe it *is* some sort of weird network thing.

thanks for the replies- I just haven't had it happen until this phone- and in the past I've had pretty good luck (and coverage) w/ Cingular AT&T [unless I'm in the Castro at Angie's]

It has happened to me once .. but other times, my phone freezes after I put it my shirt pocket without locking it. I feel the heat in my pocket and then realize that it is the phone
