Hi All,

I bought an Iphone 4 (on O2) a while back and am having problems with
coverage, often have no coverage showing, in settings it was set to
Automatic for the network, Is it a good idea to change this to o2? if not, why not?

It won't make any difference but will stop you from roaming abroad unless
you change back to automatic.

Also, even when I do have 3 "dots" of coverage showing, I still can't
send a text. Do the dots only refer to Voice coverage rahter than Text?

The answer is that O2 are ****e and have poor network coverage. In many
parts of the country they converted analogue cellphone masts to digital and
didn't spend the money on filling in the gaps between base stations. Almost
any other provider - OK Vodafone are also crap - provides better 3G
coverage.

FWIW I can send and receive texts on this iPhone 4 with only one bar for
signal strength. But I wouldn't touch O2 with yours.
