Can't make calls, send texts, or connect to internet

Hi all,
The topic heading says it all!
Since this lunchtime, I have been unable to make calls, send text messages or access the internet (unless it is on wi-fi).
I have restored the iPhone setting and am unsure what to do next. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks!

PinkSocks,
When you restored the iPhone, did you set it up as a new phone? If not, prior to trying another restore, you might want to try resetting the network settings.
To reset network settings, navigate to Settings > General > Reset.
Some other good troubleshooting steps to try:

On your iPhone, what does your signal strength display? Do you have an "E" icon or "3G" icon at the top? Have you contacted AT&T to see if there are any current outages in your area, or to troubleshoot your wireless account?
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Can I make my iPad 2 have connection to Internet while on the go it doesn't have 3G

I have an iPad 2 with no 3G built in. Can I add Internet access now? Someone please help answer this question. I can link in when I am at home but not when I am out and about. Is there any way to do this? Thank you?

You must either be in a location with public wifi or have a mobile hotspot via a wireless provider. You do not have to have an iPhone. I have an android phone that allows me to connect up to 5 devices on 3g or 10 devices on 4g. There are also portable hotspots available that you can purchase from wireless providers that are stand alone hotspots. Both require a data plan.

Can i make calls(plus mesaages) to some one from ipad air cellular?

Because in my country there is no 3G so can i make calls and text through gsm to my friends from ipad air cellular?
if no it means ipaid cellular is only for 3g or 4g connections to access internet anywhere?

you can't make calls, but if its supported, you can use facetime. another alternative is skype, but you wont be able to make actual phone calls from your ipad

We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone. If it's already unlocked skip to step 2. This works and will work even if you update the phone.
1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
Everything should work flawlessly at this point. If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to home wifi?

Recently, My Galaxy S4 will not make or receive calls or texts while connected to my home WIFI. The status bar WIFI icon is highlighted and the Connection Bar icon has 0 bars. When I check the WIFI connection in "settings" the status is connected and shows very strong strength. Any time I try to make a call or send a text I get a "no network error message" and basically I am dead in the water as far as cell phone use is concerned. My S4 is my primary phone for home and business use and is very inconvenient when I am missing calls, etc. I have done a phone reset and removed SIM Card as well as a rest. Please advise.

jlrwillis, I know this would concern me just the same and we definitely want to figure this out for you. How long has this been going on? Since you started experiencing the issue have there been any changes to the device? Software updates, application downloads, or damage to the device? If WiFi is off while at home do you see that you are connected to cellular service? Are you able to make a call that way?

My iPhone 6plus will no longer connect to my Dodge UConnect system. Phone calls get a beep "phone call completed" message. Music will play though. Just can't make calls. Tried turning off iCloud and repairing but nothing works. It did work a few days

Phone cannot make calls or texts

Hi
I'm hopeing somebody will be able to help me with an issue I'm having with my phone.
I successfully activated my phone on Friday ( 3 days ago ).. the cell service worked great on Saturday.. I was able to make calls and texts.. However since Sunday, the network no longer seems to function.
1. Whenever I send a text message it doesn't go through
2. When I try to make a phone call it automatically connects me to a Verizon operator saying to use a calling card or something.
Friends and Family report that when they try to call me they get a disconnected message / text messages do not go through.
I just became a Verizon user on Friday after switching from AT&t (7 years with them)
Thank you,
Ryan

I had the same problem on Saturday, and I stopped into a Verizon kiosk at the mall. The guy at the counter simply checked to see that I was properly set to the correct device on his computer and after he did so, he dialed *228 on my phone and followed the instructions. I haven't had any issues since. My only difference, is that I switched from the iPhone 4 to the 4S, but have alwasy been a Verizon customer. But as far as the problem goes, It sounds identical to mine in every other sense. I'd stop into a see verizon person if you can.
good luck.

Can't make calls or sms on iphone 3gs after iOs5 upgrade?

I upgraded to iOS5 on my iphone 3gs and I am having major problems connecting to the 3g network. I can't make or recieve calls or sms, or log on to the internet over the 3g network. wifi works fine, but that doesn't help with the calls or the sms, and i can't always be on wifi for my emails. the phone worked fine before the upgrade.
i've restored the entire phone as a new phone, i've gone in to the apple store and had my phone looked at, they say there's nothing wrong with the hardware.
i live in Canada and my carrier is Rogers - of course when I call them for help they say it must be the phone not their network. they'd rather i buy a new phone and sign another 3 year contract
the only thing that seems to help is restoring network settings. immediately after doing that I can make calls, send and receive sms, and use the internet over 3g. but it only fixes it temporarily... after about 15 mins I'm back to the same problem. can't make or receive call etc.
anyone else having this same problem?
anyone know of a solution?

After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

Can you make calls on iPod Touch?

I've been thinking about buying an iPhone 4s. However, the price is quite high and I found that the iPod Touch is alot cheaper and has Siri and a good camera. Could you please tell me if you can make calls and text on iPod Touch?

Note that you can only make VOIP calls when you are connected to a wi-fi. The iPod Touch is not a phone and cannot connect to 3G or 4G networks.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I would test the radio first,then find out if the carrier had accidentally removed the
correct options from your phone line.
From the home screen, go the icon connections., click to enter, scroll down to Mobile data network
options, Click on it, then menu key, Diagnostic test tools. Run the test. Make sure you see the Pin to PIN
message pass, at the end of the test, the report is stored on the device, This will come in handy when you
talk to the carrier.
Let us know how if goes!
Thanks,
