After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I've had the exact same problem & I'm also on my second 4S. After speaking at great length with Apple they assured me that it wouldn't be the sim card, but a network issue. I'm with Vodafone UK & nothing was resolved. Mines more temperamental these days, but it's highly annoying!
Works now. Doesn't search constantly anymore
