Oh my god! This sounds exactly like the trouble I had with my mobile,
although I'm on Telstra. I had full (4 bar) coverage at my house, then lost
it. For a month. Got teh 3 beeps and drop out when I tried to make calls,
too. It abruptly came back a week ago, by which time I'd been onto the
Ombudsman, as telstra's response was pathetic.

There is a huge station I can see from my house: it's over on the
escarpment overlooking Bungendore, it's right next to the King's Hwy.
However, Telstra reckon it's not theirs, and my signal comes from Qbn.
Well, there's a line of hills between me and Qbn, and usually my signal is
full strength.
Yet when I tested a Voda phone at my place, the signal was crap (only from
the top floor).
So how can this be?!

Anyway, I've got full service back, and hopefully the TIO is going to kick
Telstra's bum for me.
sigh.
