Phone says no service after having it activated

Please help me...... Bought no iPhone called to have activated and it won't call out or in as it says no service, telus tried to help me reboot it and do different things they now say it is a hardware problem? Anyone else have this issue?

Hello Shelley,
It sounds like after you activated your phone, you are getting No Service in the upper left corner. I found this article to help you troubleshoot what may be happening here:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429?locale=en_CA&viewlocale=en_CA
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Remove the SIM card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About while connected to a Wi-Fi network. If an update is available, a prompt should appear soon. If Wi-Fi is not available, connect your device to iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Restore the iPhone.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause this issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hi
Sounds like you have no connection to the network.
Have you called your airtime provider to activate your nano-Sim?
Hope this helps

IPhone 5 says "No Service" after unlock

Hello,
I recently bought a secondhand iPhone 5 from my girlfriend which was locked to the Vodafone UK network. I'm currently with Virgin Mobile UK so I looked into getting the iPhone unlocked to use with my current SIM.
I came across a seller on eBay who unlocks iPhones and has very good reviews, so I purchased an unlock request through them. Yesterday morning I received a message from the seller informing me that the iPhone was ready to be unlocked and gave me instructions on how to complete the process.
When I connected the iPhone to iTunes, I was greeted with the "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked" message. However, when it comes to inserting a SIM from a different network, it just says "No Service" in the top left of the screen.
I've seen quite a number of threads about this issue and I've tried several different methods of resolving it. I have tried:
Trying multiple SIM cards (it will work with the Vodafone SIM I have but not with ones for other networks)
Toggling Airplane Mode on/off
Resetting the network settings
Erased all content and settings
Restored the iPhone via iTunes (iTunes is up-to-date)
I'm quite stuck on what to do now. I've contacted the seller who's assured me that the phone is unlocked and send me a "GSX Report" (whatever that is). Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Just wanted to give an update on this for those who may be experiencing the same problem.
I spoke to someone from Apple a few days ago who tried to help me resolve this. They confirmed that the phone was unlocked. After going through some of the fixes I've tried already, they suggested it may be a problem with the SIM cards I was using and recommended getting a brand new one to try.
I got my new nano SIM through from Virgin Mobile yesterday, transferred my number and contract across and now it's all working perfectly.
I'm not really sure why people on here were so reluctant to give me advice on what to do. When I told Apple that I got the iPhone unlocked through an eBay retailer, they didn't question it at all. They said nothing about it being hacked or that I should have gone through the carrier, and they assured me that the phone was completely unlocked.
Oh well. I'm glad it's working now. Thanks Apple!

I can not reactivate my DDNS service after having reinstalled my Creative Live Wireless Webcam

Hi,
After having changed my wireless router's network key, I had to change of course also the key
stored in my Creative Live Wireless Internet Camera setup. To do
this, I have deleted my cam definitions and did a scratch install after
resetting. However now I can not register my URL name anymore and DDNS is
disabled. The setup wizard says that it could not connect to the server to
register my host name (in fact this name is already registered by me before) and that I should try again. I attempted numerous times, no help!
The IP adress of my Creative Wireless Cam is 92.68..250, it is exactly the same as it
was before. My registered URL was "goztepe.creativeddns.com" and remote monitoring?was working?
with these parameters without any problem, which are still the same as before, I did not change them.
How should I reactivate my DDNS service? Maybe a reset or something alike is needed on the Creative Server which is doing the URL registrations? I would appreciate any help because I
am not able to access my cam from remote anymore!
Thanks in advance. Ozgur Ozdemir

My phone is saying no service I put a different sim in on tmobile and it won't activate the phone

No. Apple does not unlock iPhones. ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. If it's locked to Vodafone, contact Vodafone and find out if you qualify to get it unlocked and how much it will cost.

Why does my new 3gs phone say no service when it was working earlier

Why does my newly purchased Iphone 3GS say no service - it was working earlier today. I can do nothin on it - can't make calls or receive them !!

AT&T is my carrier, in RI, can't text, can't call, go onto Safari, get emails? Happens once in a while for a few minutes. Today it wouldn't work at all. I am home now and have wireless and it won't pick up that signal either.
I don't know about SIMor where it is located. I was a blackberry girl for years. This phone is only a few weeks old, bought at Apple Store in Providence RI, they didn't tell me about SIM. It has worked fine till today.
Thank you.

IPhone 4s says "no service" after update to iOS7

I just updated my phone and now I can't make a call. I can text and the wifi works but it says no service. I've tried resetting the network settings but still no luck. Someone help!

I had to turn off automatic carrier (Settings - Carrier - Automatic toggle), select my carrier manually, and then turn automatic back on again. Fixed it for me.

I replaced the LCD Digitizer and now phone says no service

Can anyone help me figure out why since replacing the LCD Digitizer my phone shows no service all the time and I can't make a call or send a text?

The antenna connector is not connected correctly. It is the simple snap on small round connector attached to the black wire from the speaker dock antenna. It attaches near the battery connector.

My phone says no service in the upper left corner, how do i get my service back?

@tatmab When that happens to me I just move around until I get service back. If that dont work call tech support to see if the towers could be having some kind of issue.

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot
