Answer
If you are getting a connection error on a regular basis and you have had your phone for awhile, it is very likely that there is a crack or damage to the antenna of the phone. This is common with cell phones after a period of time and when the antenna gets damaged, you will have issues in connecting or staying connected to the network. If your dad has no issues in the same areas where you have issues, then it is very likely your phone. If you have had the phone for awhile, then I would suggest getting a new phone. If you really don't want a new phone, then take your phone in for repair. Personally, I think a new phone might be a better option. Thanks. DebiN
