Can't receive calls or SMS. Please help.

Since I activated my iPhone last night, I haven't been able to receive calls or SMS. I can make outgoing calls and SMS, but when someone else tries to call my iPhone they go straight to voicemail or I never receive the SMS.
I have been using Wi-Fi so that doesn't block signals like EDGE does correct?
Any suggestions?

Did you port a number over from another mobile provider? If so, it can take up to 24 hours after activation before the port is complete. Usually, when it is complete, you will receive a text message from AT&T notifying you that your phone is now ready to make and receive calls.
You are correct, WiFi use should not prevent incoming calls.

In my iPhone 4s, since I updated to the latest iOS 6.1.2 I have noticed that my battery drains very quickly, and that after 15 days after date, I lost the cell signal, I have 3g, but I can not call or receive calls or sms. HELP!

Contact the carrier.

Accidentally cleared storage on my phone, now I can't make/receive calls, etc. Please help!

So I was turning my phone on and I accidentally brought up a white screen that gave me several options including Clear Storage, Factory Reset and Fastboot. Entirely by accident, I selected "Clear Storage". As soon as I realized my mistake, I quickly removed the battery. However, upon restarting my phone, I found that I could not make/receive calls or send/receive texts. Before going to my local Verizon store tomorrow, I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to remedy this issue myself. Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind! Dialed *228 and reprogrammed the handset, all's well. Thanks however, Jim!

I can't receive calls.. and the help stuff on my phone doesn't, well help.

So I tried calling my cell with my house phone to see what the difference in ring tone would be with Out of Holster and in Holster (which I still don't know) and it said that the number I have called is not in service when clearly it is because I can make calls. I forgot how I did it but I kept calling I heard the voice mail message thing I made. I checked the help thing and it didn't help at all. It says I should turn off call forwarding and blocking but how it says to go in my Options isn't correct. Like, the setting isn't where it says it will be in the step by step directions.
I was hoping someone had the same blackberry (pearl edge 8220 I believe). That or someone who's familar with my phone cos I'm not very phone savvy.I shudder to think of how many calls I've missed..
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

I can't make or receive calls or sms on my iphone 4s!!!! Do something. I have ios 5.0.1 on it. Please release the update or do smth!!

Nope, nothing I can do.
I do not plan to ever release an update either because like everyone else here I am just a user like you.
Apple is not here, does not read these forums or respond to anything posted here.

My iPhone 5 has lost network coverage. Wifi is still ok just can't receive calls or text messages (iMessages are ok though? ). I've re set network settings but that hasn't helped.

Hey K1978,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having cellular connection issues with your iPhone 5. The following troubleshooting assistant may help to resolve this issue:

Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
2. Restart your iPhone.
3. Ensure that your software is up to date:
          - Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
          - Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update. Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.

9. Contact your carrier to:
          - Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
          - Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
          - Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

Not responding or does not turn of
Thank u

Hi softwater,
Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't looked into Carbon Copy Cloner previously, I'll check it out.
I'll see what I can do about getting to a store. I've only just had the MBP13 get a logic board replacement, for which it had to be in store for a week, so I'll have to make plans to move data around so I can keep working while it's out of action.
I won't be able to take it to a store for at least another week, so if anyone else has an (unlikely) solution in the meantime I'd be very appreciative!
Thanks

I can't receive calls

I bought a Noki 2760 mobile phone yesterday.
I can't receive calls. I believe I have closed the loudspeakers or shutdown receving calls.
I can call you and I can send SMS to you.
I tried in vain to solve the problem.
I have downloaded the English manual too.
Please help me to fix the problem.

Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
Given your description, I believe your suspicion is correct -- something wrong with the account tied to the SIM that is not working. I suggest contacting your carrier for assistance.
Cheers.

I have problem with concoction i can not make call or sms

I have problem with my i phone 5 i can not make call and sms do please help me

I think you don't understand the purpose of this forum. This is a user-to-user support forum. You're not talking to Apple. You're not talking to your cellular carrier.
One last time and then I'm done:
You need to call your cellular carrier and get this sorted out. No one here can help you.

Ios5.0.1, can't receive calls, can't end call, can't take video!!!!!

After installed ios5.0.1, can't receive calls, can't end call, can't take video!! The screen become frozen! Any help please? Thx!

How about going to a corporate store and see if they will let you put your SIM card in a display model. Your number will transfer over with the SIM card. Then if you call your number from your wife's phone or one of store landline phones and the call goes through, you have ruled out the SIM card being the problem.
You don't have the phone number set to automatically forward to the voicemail, do you?

If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
