try power cycling your iphone.. power off, count to twenty, and power on.. its like a computer..gotta reset every now and again.. As with any gsm phone.

not really.. both technologies rely on a signal from a nearby tower.. power cycling is beneficial for ANY cell phone and any technology

Friend of mine had this problem this weekend. Had to go to ATT store to get a new sim card.

I had a problem with not receiving calls even though I had 5 bars. A power cycle fixed it though.

Take your sim out and clean off the gold metal parts reinstall and see if it fixed the issue. If not go to AT&T and they will give you another sim.
