here in UK only??? sudden "No service" message.

A guy has recently been prosecuted for selling illegal mobile phone jammers to hotels, etc, so that punters are forced to use the costly hotel telephones.

Maybe that's the case?

they should install mobile jammers in...

cinemas
uni lecture halls
libraries

etc

This happened to me in a travel inn. Walked about 10m out of the carpark and it was fine...

Solution: Go outside the main door (until you get reception) in your worst looking clothes and make your call whilst smoking, spitting and effing and blinding as much as you can - growl at other guests and then return :D Who wants an image like that at the front of their hotel ;)

ditto in a travelodge, theyre gash!!

Hello

As mentioned above, most devices that send out the relevant signals to block a mobile phone are illegal. You could ask to speak to the manager and scare him a little, I always found "Is it company policy to install illegal devices?" always gets the conversation going.
