bad reception

[maupee]

Had a new which had bad reception where I work. Got new z2 and I have no reception at all and I am missing calls and messages. Missed calls don't even register on phone.Vodafone don't have an answer. Anyone any ideas.thanks

Can you tell what network mode are you using? 

[maupee]

Was told to use 2g by Vodafone,as the 2g is for calls and 3g is for data.

[_alexdon_]

2G can be used for data too,but it is slow. So you are using 2G and stil have coverage problems?

Just keeps showing a red x where reception bars should be.had a neo before this and it had slightly better reception.I thought the newer z2 would be better but it's worse.

Have you ever thought the SIM could be faulty?

[maupee]

Got anew sim with the phone.I could go back to shop and ask.

This sounds more like the area you are in has bad reception or other factors are causing interference and blocking signals

[_alexdon_]

Yeah,agree with Thommo. Maybe even the building where you work could cause screening effect.

Borrowed my partners HTC mobile and her phone has reception where the z2 has none.next phone might not be a sony.
