Cannot activate data cellular network on iPhone 3

What is happening with my phone if I suddenly can't send messages and make phone calls? Phone states 'cannot activate data cellular network'

you can call your carrier provider and you can tell them that you wanna switch your service to the iphone 3 and they will give you the number to activate it

FaceTime is banned by the KSA government. Any iPhone sold in KSA will have FaceTime removed. You can not ever get it on that phone no matter if you take it out of KSA.

Iphone 4s 3g won't activate on cellular network after restore to iOS 8.0.2

After restoring my Iphone 4s to iOS 8.0.2 using itunes, my 3g cellular network (Vodafone) will not work, I have tried to restart, turn on airplane and turn it off etc, but it won't work.

Hi aceskaterdylanb,
Thanks for the steps you have taken so far to get your cellular back up. You have taken care of the first several steps in this article. Not sure how far "etc" has gone, but try the further steps here.
iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still doesn't, contact your carrier to report the issue.
7. Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
8. Restore the iPhone as new.
9. Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

Unstable cellular network with iPhone provider in Saudi Arabia, Mobily

Since yesterday I have noticed sudden lose of cellular signal, I keep getting no network and when the network is back (even at full bars) I can't make calls.
I have noticed the following:
1. It's only happening on an iPhone using Mobily SIM card
2. non-iPhone devices with Mobily SIM card work fine
3. It only happened at my home, if I go to another location the iPhone works fine.
initial conclusion: caused while connected to specific cell towers with an iPhone.
I cannot confirm this at the moment, anyone else (with any other carrier/country) had the same issue? Thank you.
Carrier is Mobily in Saudi Arabia and currently they have no idea what is causing it. phone is iPhone 3GS.

Cannot connect to cellular network after 6.1.2 upgrade

I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to 6.1.2 this morning via an over-the-air update on my WiFi network. The upgrade appears to have been successful, however, it can no longer connect to the Verizon cellular network.
I tried restarting the device, but no luck.
I tried turning Airplane mode on and off....no luck.
I confirmed that Celluar is on in the General settings.
My wife's phone and my phone are on the same Verizon account and I had service (full bars) just prior to performing the upgrade. My wife's phone has not been upgraded and it still has full bars.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I tried resetting the phone back to the factory settings, but still had the same problem. I made an appointment at the Apple Store and took it in.
I told the tech everything that I tried and he checked a couple of other things behind the counter. Ultimately, he diagnosed it as a problem with the SIM slot on the phone--he took the SIM out and it didn't give him a "missing SIM" message (or the like) which apparently the phone is supposed to do when you remove the SIM.
He replaced the phone with a new one. Fortunately, I had all my stuff backed up on iCloud so within about 20 mins, my phone was back to normal (less all my music content, which I synced when I got home.)
The tech mentioned that the troubleshooting steps I tried were sound, so if you experience the same problem give varjak paw's suggestions a try first. :-)

HT204380 I cannot activate my FaceTime in my iPhone 4S

Every time I try to automatically activate the FaceTime in my iPhone 4S, I receive a message telling me there is an error try again. Same if I try manually. There is not App of this device in my phone either. Any ideas and suggestions please. Thanks, Mario.

Facetime is not an app on the 4S, it is integrated in the phone app. But Facetime is not available in certain mid-eastern countries. What do you mean by "automatically activate" facetime - you have to manually activate it in the Phone app - find a contact and click the iPhone number, then select facetime from the options. Be sure Facetime it "on", settings>Facetime.

Cannot connect to home network with iphone via wireless.

wireless home network does not appear in iphone. pc, laptops and iTV work perfect with wireless. I tried everything i can think of. anysuggestions?

If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Cannot Activate data type in ABAP Database Inconsistent

Hi,
can you please help me on this? We could not activate the data type abap proxy in SPROXY.
Here is the error:
Database inconsistent: TABL XYZ not found.
The object is inactive. Is there a way to delete the object in the backend?
Or do you know other way to solve this?

I already recreated the object in ESR, but we are still getting the error in SPROXY whether you regenerate, delete or activate proxy. If I checked the proxy name, it is in a form of a structure and is activated but the data type in SPROXY is still in inactive mode.
I could not remember how this error came up but it seems dependent objects for the data type are not generated properly that's why the error is TABL object is not found.
Do you have other way on how to delete the inactive proxy in ABAP?

Hi legalbs,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're trying to set up iCloud Keychain but you're not receiving the verification code by SMS. You can correct the phone number that is used from the iCloud Keychain settings on your iPhone:
In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

"cellular network is no longer available" since upgrade to OS 3.2.2

Since I upgrade to OS 3.2.2 I cannot connect to cellular network. Turned on cellular data in settings, still shows "No Service". Tried reset network settings, tried reset iPad, tried restore. I can check my account and verify I have data plan. Any suggestions?

I would take the SIM out and then reinsert it. Next I would restore from backup. Lastly I would restore to factory new to see if it works in that condition before you add things to the iPad.

Help needed in using Facetime over cellular network on Ipad2 3G IOS6

i updated my Ipad2 3G to IOS6, as they mentioned that i will be able to use facetime over cellular network,
however everytime i try it over the network, it says i must connect through Wifi. any help!!

Facetime over 3G is currently only available on the iPad 3, not the iPad 2 - from http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ :
3. FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability.

Why can't I use FaceTime on my ipad2 using cellular network

I can not successfully use FaceTime over my cellular network as advertised by the ios 6 upgrade. I even got I message stating I had to use FaceTime over a Wi Fi network. What's going on?

FaceTime over 3G/4G is only on the iPad 3, not the iPad 2 - from the bottom of http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

Cannot activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to

Cannot activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service. Never happened until I have switched to boost. I have spoken with them for hours and they say it's fine from their end and I've reset network settings, replaced my nano sim for my iPhone 5, restored my phone played with wifi on and off airplane mode on and off I don't know what else I can do. Please help me experts!

Under "settings / general / network" is your "Cellular Data" button set to "ON"?

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.
