Nokia 6600 only works from one cell tower

I have this weird problem with my phone where it will only work off one cell tower. Once I leave the coverage of that cell tower it will not work anywhere else.

It started a few months ago and i'm not to sure why?

The funny thing is it's the cell tower on top of my building at work, so when i'm at work it will work (calls/txt/etc) but as soon as I go home or even go to another city it will not.

Any ideas?

It looks very much like a hardware issue, probably the RF module. You might try a hard reset, but I doubt it will solve your problem.

Yeah I've tried a hard reset.. which didn't make any difference

It does sometime work randomly and rarely but seems to go back to only working off one cell town after a while.

Being probably a hardware problem is there anything i can do to fix it if it is the "RF module"?
