It's usually when the phone is having trouble with a 3G signal it gets this error.

To see if thats the problem try to disable 3G.

Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > Network > Network Mode - Set it to GSM

Try it with another sim card from the same network that you are on to rule out a sim problem.

You may want to backup your phone and perform a full hard reset if it isn't a sim issue.

Hard reset:

1. Switch off the phone.

2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.

3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.

4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.

You need to back it up if you have the spiderman 3 edition of the phone to avoid losing it's license key. The movie won't play without it.
