Not sure what you are referring to..

I have no connection   ( ? )

Waiting for native speakers to show up, you �ll get your answer.

Hi there, it depends on what you are talking about. If you are using a cellphone and can �t connect then you would say "There is no reception".  If you want to use free wireless internet for example but cannot find it you would say "There is no connection/ There is no access."

communication problems: You �re breaking up, we �re cut off somehow, there �s lot �s of interference on this line, there �s a lot of noise on the line so it isn �t very clear

hung up and call back, ok? I �m kidding :)

If you are talking about a mobile phone, I would agree that "signal" is the best option:  I haven �t got a signal / I have no signal / I can �t get a signal.

In Australia, if there is no network coverage, then we generally say "there �s no reception".  Cheers. Hug

@ranclaude... In the U.S. if there is no reception we say "Those *&%$@*** why the &*% are we paying so *&%&*$#* much and not getting any *&%$%*& service?" Hope this helps.   Wink Ed
