Nokia 1208 Reception problem | Petro Canada Rates and Plans | Consumer forum

Hello

I purchased this phone from Petro Canada for my wife many months ago and since day 1, the reception/antenna seemed very poor as noted by my wife. She was not able to make calls sometime and after my own tests, I have confirmed the antenna is very bad or defective. The antenna bar would continue to go up and down and not be stable as compared to my 2760 I got from 7-11. I could not make calls sometime downtown when at work. The error message would say "Network Error". Never had a problem with my 2760.

The return period had already passed so I wanted to return it to Nokia to test and fix or provide me with a new one. Unfortunately I lost the receipt and so I am stuck with it. I guess you get what you pay for.

Has any one had calling and antenna problems with this phone? When I could make calls the phone is very loud and clear, I'd give it that. I do not recommend this phone at all unless my is a lemon.
