We live in an area with poor cellphone reception - so I loose signal quite frequently. Most times my HTC Desire HD will reconnect to the cell network after detecting a signal again, but sometimes it is as if the phone "locks out" and it does not reconnect to the cell network. Under these conditions it sometimes helps if I activate and deactivate "airplane mode" on my phone, as it will sometimes cause the phone to "reinitialize" and ask for a PIN number and log onto my service provider cell network again... but not always.

Is there a more foolproof way in which this can be achieved? Anyone with any similar experience with a solution??

PS: The exact same thing happens with my wife's HTC Desire, as did my (previous) HTC TyTNII. Strangely, my wife's (previous) Nokia 6820 never "locked out" as the HTCs are doing...

So?? I am all ears...
