2- 3G Iphones, One reads "off network"

I have two 3G Iphones sitting side by side on the desk.. one reads Att&t, the other "off network".. Basially it just changed to the off network setting and I dont know why. This phone hasnt left a literal 2 block area in a year. Why would it go "off network" and is there a way to get it to change towers? Tryed rebooting etc.. pretty much everything but a factory reset. Device error possible?

Update: New Sim card (that I had to drive 220 miles to get) fixed this issue for about 30 minutes, then phone went back off network.
Took the sim card out of the other 3G phone and it went back to ATT&T and stayed there.
Took a sim card out of a Blackberry as well, the phone stayed on ATT&T as well...
So did I get 2 bad sim cards in a row? Is it the device... ***...

  • IPhone 3gs goes off network

    my iphone 3gs signal constantly goes off network. I've tried updating, restoring, reseting, new sim card, etc. Is it the actually phone that could be the problem?

  • HT4528 One external app on 1st gen iPhone 5.  Cellular Network Data Sent = 1.2GB.  What could cause such a high usage?

    One external app on 1st gen iPhone 5.  Cellular Network Data Sent = 1.2GB.  What could cause such a high usage?

    I had the same issue, whilst my IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2  was in my pocket all morning, I checked the usage on traffic monitor and it said data usage 1.1 GB.  My setting are:
    icloud:
    mail:off, contacts:on, calenders:on, reminders:on, Safari:off, Notes:on, passbook:on, photos:off, Documents & Data:on(whatsapp only), Find my Iphone:on
    itunes & apps store:
    music:off, Video:off itunes match:off Automatic downloads music:off, apps:off, books:off, update:off
    Podcasts: Auto downloads:off
    itunes wifi sync: last sync Friday 11 Oct 2013 (not this morning)
    I am using an inmarsat satelite connection if anybody knows any other settings that could cause vast amounts of data to download please advise. After thought would'nt it be nice if apple had an all in one feature(switch) that only allowed Push notifications and safari usage through. Thanks in advance.

  • The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
    To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
    If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
    The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
    Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
    Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
    The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
    (What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

  • HT6154 My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help ple

    My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

    There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work.  Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
    Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

  • Phaser 3250DN drops off network after printing one or two pages

    I have a Phaser 3250DN printer that has started dropping off the network after switched on and printing one or two pages.  If I power cycle the printer, it comes back online, but then drops off the network again almost immediately so I can't print any more pages.  The printer fails to respond to pings while in this state.  The printer is 4 years old but has had >extremely< light usage.  We've printed about one thousand pages total and is only turned on when we want to print something so most of the time it's physically powered off.

    Network drop-offs can occur for a variety of reasons and be triggered by a variety of causes. You may want to make sure you are using the latest software release on the product, as well as check the network firewall configuration settings. In addition, sometimes disabling unused networking protocols can reduce traffic the device is exposed to and ease the burden if traffic volume is what is shutting down the NIC.
    Another thing to consider would be the network topography itself; make sure the device is on a subnet exposed to minimal broadcast/multicast traffic.
    Finally, you can verify the device itself is physically functional by testing it with a laptop and crossover cable. If the drop-off behavior occurs while connected directly to another single computer, it may be indicative of an issue with the main board or hard drive.
    You may also find additional support articles at the following link: Phaser 3250 KB - http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3250/support/enus.html
    I hope this helps.
    Have a great day.

  • Iphone 4s calender one day off last week in October and beyond

    My iphone 4s for the last week in October and beyond is one day off(ahead of schedule) after syncing with outlook?

    There are many factors that affect battery life such as a new iPhone being used more often than may be normal otherwise - the more the screen is on, more battery will be used and the brighter the screen setting even more when on, cellular reception at the time even without placing or receiving calls and the same for internet access via your carrier's cellular network, how often an email account or accounts are being automatically checked for new email, having bluetooth enabled when not being used to name a few.

  • If iPhone 5 peel off when I unboxing in the retail store in canada, what can I do? Can I change a new one?

    If iPhone 5 peel off when I unboxing in the retail store in canada, what can I do? Can I change a new one?

    The anodizing delamination issue is over blown .
    If you are unboxing and activating in a Roberts/Fido/Virgin/Bell or Telus store and you see existing damage certainly YOU reject it.
    The areas that appear to be subject to minor delamination are the milled edges.
    This milled edge may be vulnerable to delamination since anodizing is dye process set within the top few micron of the base metal with an electric charge.
    If you want an unlocked iPhone5 get it from Apple Retail at full retail price, as the carrier subsidized phones ”may” be Carrier/sim card locked for revenue protection reasons.
    You need to check this locally as i can not vouch for Canadian cell phone practise.

  • Why is my iPhone camera not as good as the one showed off by Steve Jobs?

    In the WWDC 2010, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs showed off the iPhone 4's 5MP camera. But mine is not that great, I get a lot of camera noise and the digital zoom *****, the video capture has a lot of noise too. What's up? Is my iPhone messed up Or are all iPhone 4 cameras like this?

    You are probably trying to take pictures outside of the lighting conditions that are optimal for the phone. Camera noise is almost always a sign of insufficient light.
    And digital zoom is a hoax on the inexperienced photographer. All it does is use less of the sensor, so it is the same effect as cropping the photo on your computer after taking it. This is true of any digital camera, not just the iPhone's.

  • All of the birthday's and holidays on my iPhone are one day off.

    All of the birthday's and holidays on my iPhone are one day off (one day early).  I sync it with my iPad and my iPad is correct.  Does anyone know why my iphone is one day off?

    Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
    The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
    However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one
