Brand New iPhone 4: Can't Text or Connect to Internet

Hi, I just bought an iPhone 4 two days ago, and I cannot connect to the Internet or send or recieve text messages. I can call people and people can call me, but that is about it. Does anyone have the same problem or know how i can fix it? Any advice is welcome

Have you checked with your wireless carrier to be sure your account is set up properly?

  • Brand new iPhone 4 can not make calls network says extended

    Me and my husband bought brand new iPhone 4 on Saturday at Walmart through straight talk. Since Monday his phone is unable to make phone calls his network did say TFW but since then it just says extended. He can recieve calls and texts and can text off his phone with a time delay. Any idea how to fix it

    Sounds as if it a carrier issue. Contact Sraight Talk.

  • Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

    Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

  • Brand New iPhone 3G can't connect to iTunes (0xe8000001 error)

    Hi - I just got a new iPhone 3G on Saturday (09/06/08) and I haven't been able to connect it at all to my iTunes on my home computer (The dreaded '0xE8000001' error keeps popping up!). I even went and bought a USB 2.0 PCI card and installed it thinking that the internal USB 1.0 was the problem.
    When I plug in the iPhone, it launches iPhoto (even when I plug it into the USB 1.1) so I know it recognizes it. I have re-started the iPhone, installed iTunes 8 and even tried creating the Lockdown folder in my Library (mentioned in another thread) and I'm not having any luck.
    ANY help at this point would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well, this is gonna sound really asinine but I have been connecting the iPhone to my computer AFTER I launch iTunes. So just for the heck of it, I quit iTunes and then connected my iPhone and lo and behold, it worked! Totally insane.
    Hopefully, this may help others that are experiencing the same problem.
    Many thanks to Keith and sjh1709 for their suggestions.

  • Brand New iPhone 4 Accessory Error when not connected to Anything at all!

    I got my phone out the box and immediately began experience this message. "This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone" - "You may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength" - It was not, and had never being attached to anything. I have reset and restored it to IOS4 (not synced).
    The message persists about once a minute, even if the phone is sleeping. It's too new to have lint trapped in it, even though I have checked the dock area for obstructions.

    Here what I actually figured out last night. If you have a faulty data cable it will interfere with the data flow causing this error to occur. Try swapping out your data cable for a new one. It worked for me, works like a charm.
    Harder to explain is why this also happens to me, with the iPhone 4 in a JBL speaker/dock. There is a next-to-zero chance that the dock connector in the JBL has somehow been damaged during the few days I've had the new iPhone as compared to the many days I used the 3GS. It is also hard for me to understand why this message just popped up today while the iPhone 4 was in the JBL dock, but did not pop up over the past several days while the iPhone 4 was in the same JBL dock.

    I have a brand new iphone 5.. I can imessage and receive texts but can't reply or send new ones.  Any ideas?

    You can check this support document regarding troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    However, SMS is a carrier function. You say that iMessage is working, so I would contact the carrier since it is SMS is not working.

  • I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  For the life of me, I can't get the phone to ring. I have been in and out of my settings, have disengaged both silent and vibrate.  But when dialing my number from another phone, the call goes direclty into my voice mail

    I have a brand new IPhone 4G.  I can't get it to ring.  I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone.  But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise

    Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

  • How can i find the mac address of a brand new iphone 5 since i can't get to the settings screen untill it's signed onto the web

    I have a brand new iphone. my home wifi router has a mac filter. I can't use my phone until the wifi is set up but i cant set up my phone until it connects to the internet. is there a way to find the mac addreess without getting to the settings menu?

    It's not on the box.
    Try turning off Mac filtering temporarily on your router, finish the setup, then turn it back on. Or use another WiFi hotspot, such as an Apple store or a carrier's store. Or McDonalds. Or Starbucks.

  • How can I get a Brand New iPhone 3GS as a warranty replacement phone?

    4/26/2011
    Does anyone how I can get a brand new iPhone 3GS as a warranty  replacement for my iPhone 3GS? I already had the phone replaced once with a refurbished phone that has a problem with becoming frozen and unresponsive. This occurred ten times since I got the phone on 4/16/2011. I have tried doing a hard reset and have also restored the phone as a new device. I have an Apple Care plan. I am concerned that the refurbished phones will not be reliable due to my experience with the refurbished  one that I got as a replacement.
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much for your reply! I have a Genius Bar appointment today maybe they can test the phone to see if they can determine whether or not it is defective.
    Thanks Again!

    The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

  • HT1766 Got a brand new iphone 4s, went to bed with it fully chearged, woke up and the phone is off, can't turn it on!!! Help

    I got a brand new Iphone 4s, fully charged as I went to bed. Woke up to see the time and I was expecting a call. The screen was blank, I can not turn it on. Nothing is happening. I 'm in freeze mode. How can I turn it on?

    First be sure it's charged.  If you're not sure, plug your charger into a wall outlet for at least 15 minutes.  If it's still unresponsive, try to reset it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.
