I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

Where are you and where did you get the phone.  This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • I can only make emergency calls from my iphone 4. How do I fix this? Not tech savvy in the slightest !!

    I've just recently bought a white iphone formy daughter and am trying to put my sim into her old one but can only make emergency calls.  How do I get round this?  Not tech savvy at all as you can probably gather.  Thanks

    Did you connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it with iTunes? You will need the internet as well as Apple will unlock your iPhone over the internet via iTunes. Let us know if this helps.

  • Cannot get to passcode entry area to restore-can only make emergency call--

    One minute phone was working fine the next it gave me a restore needed connect to itunes message and would only allow me to make emergency calls. When I connect the phone to the computer to itunes it tells me it cannot connect to the phone because it has a passcode, but I cannot get to the place where you enter the passcode. any suggestions? HELP!!!

    If you know the passcode, enter it when prompted (if prompted).
    If you do not know the passcode and/or are not prompted to enter it, your only option is to restore as new.

  • In Denmark but can only make emergency calls

    I'm in denmark wanting to make just a couple calls so I didn't get an international plan. But my phone says I can only make emergency calls. Phone is a new Samsung s6 Active. Help!

    Hi there! @wormturner thanks for posting your concerns. I’m sorry to hear you are unable to make calls while in Denmark. I’ll be happy to help! It is possible that you don’t not have international roaming active on the account. I highly recommend adding an international plan to your line, as this can save you a great deal versus pay per use rates, which are 1.50 per minute in Denmark.
    If you’d like more information on the plans we have please visit us at http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/international/roaming.html
    Of course we’ll be happy to check your account to verify the availability of international roaming for pay per use on your line as well.
     please private message me by clicking here and provide your name and number.
    We will reach out to you within two business days.
    Thanks!

  • I have iPhone 3G, iTunes 10.5, offered to upgrade the version of the phone, after which you can only make emergency calls. Help! ! ! I'm in a panic!

    Yesterday iTunes 10.5 offered to upgrade the iPhone 3G to the version of I don't know, most likely to the new. After that, the screen of the cable and the icon iTunes, you can only dial emergency calls. What to do? How to get back to the previous version, or at least to do so would the phone began to work? I'm from Russia, so you need the Russian version. Help please! Describe all of the items what to do... I'm in a panic!

    Sounds like this was a hacked iPhone...hacked to unlock it so you could use it where you live. One of the big downsides to hacking an iPhone, to unlock it, is that updating software or restoring the phone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. This appears to be what has happened to you. You have two choices to fix things: 1. Get the phone officially unlocked, or 2. Re-hack it to unlock it(sorry, can't be discussed here). Good luck.

  • I have just purchased an iphone today and it is coming up with a picture on the screen of the usb connector and itunes symbol. It also says that I now have no service and can only make emergency calls

    I have just purchased an iphone today and it is coming up with a picture on the screen of the usb connector and itunes symbol. It also says that I now have no service and can only make emergency calls

    Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device.  Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

  • Can only make emergency calls

    I have fitted my SIM (3G) from my Orange/Samsung phone but can only get emergency calls (I Phone 3G). When I connect the phone to my computor I get the message"the SIM may not be supported contact your supplier". Orange say the SIM should work as it works in my other phone. Any ideas please?

    I was given the phone by a friend when I was in the UK a few weeks ago. He had had a free upgrade to I phone4S. Have looked at other questions on the forum and think I may have partially solved the problem. I am in France and I put my SIM from my UK Samsung into the Iphone. I purchased the Samsung in UK and have fitted the SIM in France. Of course I am now on the French network. I did ring the Orange shop in the UK where I purchased the Samsung and they talked me through rebooting the Iphone but I still get the same message that the SIM may not be allowed. Perhaps it's a network problem?

  • Cannot get iphone 4 working...can only make emergency calls!

    i got the phone in the mail earlier today from my step mom, she had cancelled her contract with at&t and was 2 weeks past the return date so she gave me the phone. i got a new SIM card and went to go set up with a at&t representative. the lady tells me that i need to sync the phone up with the itunes in order to get it going so i can make calls. i downloaded the latest version of itunes and my pc is up to date with windows 7. i CANNOT connect to itunes store through itunes. i have full internet access and there is no firewall blocking itunes from working properly. i need to make calls, this phone is for business use and i have no phone hooked up now. my blackberry is disconnected and i cannot connect the iphone and apple support center is now closed.
    i noticed before, when i switched usb ports, that the device manager will not fully install all software for the device (phone). what can i possibly do? i need to make calls for business. again, i cannot get past the 'emergency calls only' screen, i have full internet access, no firewalls blocking itunes, no other phone in the house, apple is closed, and im screwed.
    is there a driver i need to download and install? i cant even call at&t to restore my blackberry because i have no phone now! the main screen on the iphone4 has the itunes logo and the power cord pointing to it. the device simply wont read on itunes and the only option i have with it on itunes is to eject. i know once i can 'restore' i'll be fine and able to sync up eventually, but why wont it read the device and why wont it connect to itunes, even with using my ID and password??
    someone please help me soon because im about to lose my mind!
    thanks in advance!

    under devices is the iphone and the only option is 'eject' i cannot restore or sync anything. the only sync option i have is to sync the computer's history.

  • Forget "No Service" - phone says I can only make emergency calls

    I think i've had it with this Iphone. I'm on my 2nd refurbished phone since February 2010 (since they wouldn't replace my 1st phone after it kept showing No Service) and I'm sick and tired of all these problems. At first I was having a problem with No Service coming on my phone even though i'm in an area with tons of cell towers so I replaced my SIM card and got a refurbished "new" phone to see if that solved the problem. Then I still had that problem but then I was getting on my screen what looked like a cord connecting to ITunes saying that I can only make SOS/Emergency calls. What I had to do was shut the phone off and turn it back on - which itself isn't THAT big of a deal but more of an annoyance b/c I had no idea how long it had been out. I just got a second refurbished phone yesterday and this morning I'm having the same problem. When I took the second phone to the Apple store they said there was a problem with the antenna connecting or something and that there was something like over 300 network resets. What the f**k is wrong with these phones? Is it that IOS 4.01? Can I downgrade to the previous version? Does it have to do with my email? How can I stop these problems? My friends who live in my neighborhood who have the same phone do not have these No Service problems. I'm ready to call the head of Apple and have a few choice words with him!!

    If you qualify to have it unlocked by AT&T (you completed your contract and don't owe them anything) then you can use it with limited functionality on any compatible GSM carrier. There are no pre-paid options for using it with AT&T. There are known compatibility problems with T-Mobile in the US. Some people have had limited luck using it on StraightTalk.
    Follow the directions you get from AT&T assuming you qualify to have it unlocked. You will need a SIM, though I don't know that it will have to be an AT&T SIM. The unlock is done by restoring the phone using iTunes.
    If you just want to use it as an iPod Touch (no cellular service) you can do that, but you will need an AT&T SIM to re-activate the phone. It does not have to be tied to active service, it just has to be present.

  • HT4061 my iphone says "iphone is disabled". i can receive calls but can only make emergency calls.help plz

  • I connected to itunes on my computer to and i updated my iphone and now the SIM is not recognised so I can only make emergency calls

    iTunes offered to update my old iphone to version 3. something and now the phone doesn't work because it says the SIM is incompatible.
    This is the sane SIM that was working fine before the update.
    I even uploaded some photos.
    How can i get back the old version of iphone software so that it accepts my SIM

    The original owner has a new iphone and he gave me this one. All we did was put my SIM card in and it worked; I'm sure he didn't have to hack it to unlock it. He just had this old phone lying around.
    How can he authorise unlocking it if he doesn't have the same SIM anymore -he'smoved countries a few times.

  • HT201401 my iphone will not boot up with 02 simm in itune can only make emergency calls done factory reset still not working

    The sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported
    only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone
    please insert the sim card that came with your iphone or visit a supported carriers store to receive a replacement sim card

    So have you done as the message advises and visited a store to get a replacement SIM?
    Did you purchase the phone on a contract with O2 or with another provider?

  • I just got a new iphone 3g. my phone is locked and only allows emergency calls. i tried to restore it but its still locked. what do i need to do?????

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.

  • My phone keeps resetting and then shows the icon to plug into itunes but when i do itunes tells me that it can't connect to my phone because it has a passcode and wants me to unlock it to connect. My phone only gives me the option to make emergency calls.

    My phone started resetting today over and over and then shows the icon to plug into itunes. When I tried plugging in, a message pops up saying that itunes can't connect because my phone has a passcode and i need to unlock it to connect. my phone won't let me do anything more than make an emergency call. it wont give me the option to enter my passcode to unlock the phone. What can I do?

    After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

  • HELP! i turned my phone on and it will only let me make emergency calls!!!!

    I had been having trouble syncing my iPhone to my Mac computer.
    One day, after i installed Leopard, i plugged my phone into my computer.
    Normally what happens is iTunes and iPhoto pop up and my phones little logo comes up in each application. But, what actually happened was only iPhoto came up, so i was confused.
    I opened up iTunes, but the phone still wasn't showing up. It also wasn't syncing with iCal either. So i had been reading articles on problems with the iphone and i hadn't found anything, so i went to my schools tech guy and he as a iphone and a mac too, so we plugged my phone into his computer, and what do you know, it showed up in HIS itunes. I unplugged my phone from his computer and noticed i had no service. So i waited like 15 minutes and nothing changed, so i shut my phone off and turned it back on, and this weird screen came up. Its like a picture of the plug and a arrow pointing to the itunes logo, still saying i have no service, and only letting me make emergency calls. i plugged it into my computer and nothing happened. what do i do!?

    I have the same problem. iTunes says There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPone "XXXXXX". The requested resource was not found.
    I cannot fix the problem.
