Default [Q] Rings once then get a no service icon at the top

I just purchased the sII skyrocket 2 weeks back. About every 2 days the phone would stop receiving calls. When i get a call it would ring a half ring and then at the top where it shows the signal would have a no sign on it like there was no service. Once its goes in to this mode it would stay in it until i reboot the phone. The problem is that i never actually know who is calling because it never logs a missed call. This is the first i have seen this on any andriod phone. Here is some additional info, Stock Rom, Phone is rooted, i have the following apps frozen using TBP
Allshare
At&T code canner
At&T hotspots
At&T navigator
At&T ready 2 Go
Featured Apps
Kies Air
Kies via Wifi
Kobo
NFC service
NFC Test
QIK Lite
QuickOffice
Social Hub
Tethering Manager


Any thoughts? I should add that its not specific to one contact it will happen to anyone that calls, i have tested this calling from my wifes cell to mine when it was in this mode and saw it happen constantly. Rebooted sitting in the same place phone received calls.

no feedback yet from community but i thought i would post an updated.

I contacted AT&T that suggested it could be the SIM card, I went to the store tonight and changed out my SIM. I will update this if the issue goes away so in case some one has something similar they know what a potential fix could be.

Interesting.

Did you get a new SIM card when you get the Skyrocket as well?

I know they issued me a new SIM card at purchase because of the LTE upgrade.

Your SIM was probably dying out, it happens.

Glad to see your issue was fixed, I was thinking you were having LOS, same as the Sprint SGS II.
Current Phone

Samsung Galaxy S III - AT&T

ROM: CSROM 1.2
Kernel: Faux123 015u Kernel

Guessed correct date for 4.1.1 on SGH-I747 (12/3/2012)
