So I dropped my iPhone sometime last September or October. Cracked the screen and broke it to the point where it would no longer charge. I needed a phone so I paid the $200 to bring my iPhone "under warranty". I ended up getting a refurbished iPhone which is no big deal usually, but a few months later, the WiFi stopped working. I figured I could live without WiFi until I upgraded to the new iPhone this summer, but now I can't connect to the cell network anymore and that's a HUGE problem.

I've tried resets of all types, restoring the os, everything I could think of. I'm thinking that because the WiFi and cellular connection are in the same chip, that chip has failed.

So the warranty on the new phone was only supposed to be a month, but do you think I'll be able to get Apple to replace my iPhone? This thing is a dud and I don't want to pay another $200 for something I didn't break!
