Cannot make or recieve calls, iphone 4, please read! :)

I have an iphone 4 which is currently using ios 6 point something, and i cannot make or receive calls. it does not work anywhere with any type of connection, mic and speakers work fine with everything else. phone is a few years old, can't rememeber exactly. when i try to call someone, it will come up on the screen as usual, but no audio at all (dial tone,ringing, person's voice). other person cannot hear me either, and same goes for when somebody else tries to call me. this has been going on for months and i really need some idea of why it is happening other than just 'try turning it off and on again'. just saying. thanks i also can't hold a wi-fi signal or send images over text or imessage, but the calling is the most important.

When you have the passcode lock enabled, if you connect your iPhone to iTunes on a different computer - different from the computer you normally sync your iPhone with, I believe entering the passcode is required.
Is this a different computer than you normally sync your iPhone with?
If not and placing your iPhone into recovery mode which requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes which was successful, did you restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup? I have the passcode lock feature enabled and when I've restored my iPhone from my iPhone's backup, my passcode was not restored - I had to re-enable my passcode.
If you restored from your iPhone's backup with no change, try restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    I live in ireland so no genuis bars around here.
    Please help me guys.
    Thanks.

    Have you restored your phone as a new device?  Restore your phone as NEW without adding ANY apps, music, or anything else.  Now try your phone.  If it works, then you probably had corrupt software on it.  Go ahead and put your apps and media back on.
    If after you restore as NEW and BEFORE you add anything onto your phone it's still acting up, then you have a hardware issue.  You'll have to pay the out of warranty exchange fee to have your phone replaced. 

  • HT4528 My phone will not connect to a carrier (Verizon). It just says searching instead of showing bars.  Cannot make or recieve calls or texts.

    My phone just started doing this, it just says searching instead of showing bars.  Cannot make or recieve calls or texts.
    I have reset the network settings and the phone itself.  I have called the *228 and it said it reprogramed my phone.  walked away from my phone and it found service again for like 2 minutes and then went back to searching.  This is pathetic, I basically have a touch now.  I have hear several people have had this problem and it seems even after the phone is replaced they still have the problem.  I can't belive you can spend this much on a phone to have it not work. Any resolve to this problem coming?

    I have first a question. When it states to activate a phone press 1, did you do it? If not try it.
    The second thing I would recommend is to simply change the phone number either online through my Verizon web portal or call customer service and have them change your number.
    Then wait about 20 minutes and see if the problem has gone away.
    Since the micro Sim is only good for overseas unlocked use;  I believe a *228 send and select option 1 will set up your device on the Verizon network. You may just try doing that without changing your phone . Hey give it a try what can it hurt?
    Good Luck

  • My iphone 4 - recently updated to new iOS5 and now i cannot make or recieve calls/texts. what do i do! im dying!

    I ALSO CANNOT GET MY IPHONE TO SYNC NOW, KEEPS CANCELLING SYNC, AND IM NOT CANCELLING IT OR ACCESSING MY PHONE WHEN IT DOES IT.
    Help me!

    It is sounding like there IS no help for any of us. It also appears that our problems with the upgrade are not consistent. You cannot make calls/texts. Troyfromencinitas has lost his texts. I lost all of my music and cannot get iTunes to sync my phone (it self cancels after step 6) to get it all back. The upgrade also rendered all of my apps useless (they'd come up for a flash and then revert to the home screen again).
    I went through support last night and - as Troy-from-Encinitas said - you cannot return to the OS before your upgrade and everything I was told to do did NOT work to restore sync ability. The last suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and reinstall. If I do this, I lose the organization of 14G of music and ALL of my playlists. So, he suggested instead that I erase all of my apps from iTunes and redownload them from the iTunes store. Since they were closing in 15 mins and the download was going to take a while, he suggested I get ahold of them again this morning if his idea didn't work. It didn't. I ended up just downloading them from my phone so I can at least have my Kindle back.
    Now, there is no way to get ahold of anyone today so have made a call appt for tomorrow morning to try again. I am WICKED ****** about this but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it short of buying a new NON APPLE device. ARE YOU LISTENING APPLE?? iOS 5 is rendering Apple devices USELESS!! Sigh.

  • New iPhone 4s for business account, cannot make or recieve calls, goes to operator.

    Ok hear me out because I've done plenty of research and been on the phone with a tech for over an hour, and have still gotten nowhere.
    Every time I try to make a call, it rings three times then goes to a Verizon operator which says:
    "You're calling regarding a number linked to a business account, for inquiries about this number or account, press 1."
    I press 1 and:
    "To swap or activate a phone press 1."
    It then tells me to hang up and dial *228, which I've already done.
    I can use data and receive emails, even when not connected to wireless.
    I've tried resetting network settings, factory resetting my phone, disabling data, you name it. I am at a loss.
    Also this is a new number so it is not linked to an old phone.
    Can anyone offer any insight into this? Thanks!!
    Also the Verizon tech supposedly put in a ticket after she was unable to help me, but I never received the email so I feel I am back to square one.

  • My iphone keeps telling me that it cannot make or recieve calls and that it needs to be restored.

    I bought a new laptop and I haven't transferred my stuff over from the old laptop. my phone keeps shutting itself off. I'm afraid to restore it because I don't want to lose my apps or purchased music or my pictures.

    Every time you sync your phone to your computer it does an automatic back up.  Go your itunes preferences and click on "devices" and it'll show you a list of any backups you have.  These back ups will have your app data (not apps), contacts, calendar, notes, settings, a few other things store.  To get your content you purchased back see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Also if your purchases are on your computer you can simply resync after restore.  See iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software for help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
    Wow...a tough paragraph to parse with so little punctuation. But, I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • I accepted an update on my phone this morning, now it keep flashing the apple logo intermittently and i can't access my phone at all to make or recieve calls or texts at all. What do i do to rectify this please?

    I accepted an IOS  update on my phone this morning, now it keep flashing the apple logo intermittently and i can't access my phone at all. I can't make or recieve calls or texts at all. What do i do to rectify this please?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • No 3g\wifi - Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls.

    Just started getting this message on an IPAD:
    "Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Contact Apple at www.apple.com/service."
    3g and wifi is not working. The ipad has only been connected to itunes once when the device was set up so I'm worried about losing everything.
    I've looked online a bit and found a bunch of users with this issue on their iphone but couldn't find many ipad users with the issue. It sounds like the only way to make it work is to "restore" it or get a new one. "restore" means factory reset? Will I be able to back up everything first?
    I may try upgrading the device to ios 4 first.
    Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to fix it?

    Strangely it started working on it's own after a few days. Then I connected it to itunes, created a backup, and upgraded to 3.22. Of course it quit working on vacation then started working again when I was on my way home. I guess I better bring my laptop next time in case it acts up again. Too bad ipad and iphones are tied down and require a PC.

  • Error message Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes

    I received this error message - "Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes" 
    Has anyone received this before & know what the issue is?

    If you are restoring from a backup, that's your problem. The backup is corrupt. After you restore, you need to select "Set up as new." You will need to reinstall everything again.
