Ok here's the story, i bought the C905 and found that the software would keep crashing itself for no reason, so i got this fixed at a phone shop and it seemed fine afterwards, however about 3 days after getting it fixed the phone wouldn't allow me to send or receive SMS msgs (MMS was fine). I took it back to the shop and the guy said its a network problem, so i went to the O2 shop and phoned customer service, who said that they will change my sim to a 3G sim as mine was very old. Once changed the phone was able to send texts for a few minutes (when the 3G symbol was next to the battery sign) however now the 3G symbol wont stay on for a long time, usually a couple of seconds, and the sending and receiving of SMS is still not working. I went back to the phone shop and the guy was persistent saying its a network problem, so i phoned customer service again and they said that there shouldn't be a problem. So im confused, is it the phone or network? and if it is the phone, can someone please tell me how or where to fix it! (i will only send the phone to Sony ericsson as a last resort)
And also the sim works perfectly in a different phone, but the guy at the phone shop said it still is a network thing and he cant help =S
My friend has the same phone but her one doesn't need the 3G logo to be visible to send or receive texts.
I have checked the centre number with O2 and it is the correct number as well

Please Help!! as i really love this phone, and want it working
Thank You

it sounds like a sim connector problem. I had one on my n95, you just need to clean the sim and the contacts cos it is likely that an old sim could have introduced dust or oil from your fingers which would give poor electrical signals leading to your problem. If cleaning the contacts dosn't work im afraid your looking at a new mainboard or a new phone. I would send it to sony and get it dealt with. When my vaio dropped its wifi connection they fixed that over Christmas and the customer support was excellent.
