Constantly getting Little Service, NO SERVICE or NO SIM.

Anyone else getting this? I am even when my buddy is right next to me with a full service iphone If so, how did you fix it. Do i ned to go to an Apple Store or sent my iphone in?

Ok, this ("no service", "no sim", etc...) happened to my phone a few more times since my last post, and tonight I finally took it to the Apple store. The "genius" behind the bar said he hadn't heard of this at all yet (take a look at the Apple forums, MacRumors, MacFixit, EverythingiPhone, even other employees in his own store!), and I got the distinct impression he was just saying that so as not to cause a stir among the population.
Anyway, he gave me a new iPhone and activated it there in the store for me. As soon as he activated it, we got the dreaded "no service" indicator. I powered off the phone and powered it back on again, and this time it got service.
See?, I said. To him, however, that was just proof that the problem is AT&T's, and not Apple's, since two phones in a row did it, and it couldn't be a hardware problem. We'll see. He sent me on my way saying I should call AT&T and have them check my account. I'm waiting now for the new phone to finish syncing, and then I'll use it for a while and see what happens. I'll also try to find the time tomorrow to give AT&T a call and see what they tell me.
Does anyone have more definitive info on this issue? Is it possible to tell whether it is Apple's or AT&T's issue? Phone shouldn't suddenly lose service so frequently, and powering them up shouldn't cause frequent sim errors. I'd love to know more about this if anyone has more info.
Thanks.

Constantly getting "No Service"iPhone 3

G'day people
My iPhone 3G is starting to really annoy me.
Every day, at some point, the phone says "No Service" and I can't make or receive calls. Yet, if I do a reboot I get 5 bars!
It's got to the point where I have to reboot the phone twice a day. Is anybody else having this issue?
I've got firmware 2.0.1 and I think it's worse than when I had 2.0
Thanks
Al

I keep getting these same issues, granted I don't get the best signal where I live but, I thought the iPhone 3G was meant to fall back to EDGE > GPRS > GSM? I didn't have any problems with my 2G iPhone at home so it's absolutely puzzling!
I also keep getting 'NO SIM' and 'SIM NOT VALID' type messages in between and making calls has become really hit and miss. Has anyone else had these problems?
I've been reading up on trying to resolve this problem myself, so i've tried every trick in the book! including reseating the SIM. I'm just about to try the SIM in my 2G model to see if it's a SIM issue but I don't see why it should be, there can't be that much to SIM card so much that it could develop a fault.
At this stage I'm just a bit disappointed, Apple products are usually really good and well built, but it seems to me that the iPhone 3G was a bit of a rush-job...
Thankfully the staff at the store are the most helpful people ever, so I've got no doubt if it turns out to be a hardware issue, then they will replace it.

My iphone 4S is constantly on 3g service instead of 4g ...how do i get it to stay on 4g service? My other phone is showing 4g service right next to each other so i know i am in a 4g service area.

Try settings/general/reset/reset network settings. If that does not do it then contact your carrier

I have very strange problem with Iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Please help!

I have very strange problem with iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree or above temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Whenever I am using Skype or playing game for a while it losses carrier signals and wifi. When it is cooled down afer shutting down the carrier signals and wifi are back. It is for sure problem is with heating, but 30 degree tempeature in Oman is normal and some time it goes upto 50 degrees. I have noticed this has started after I started using substandard charger as I lost my original charger of the phone. Please help!! Thanx.

The specifications define an operating range up to 35 degrees.

Why do I get "No service" when I try to make a call or send a text message?

Ever time I want to send a text message this little loading bar at the top stops at ~80% and after a few seconds I loose signal and it says "No service".
Aslo when I try to make a call I don't hear a thing and then I get "No service". This is messed up and I have called my carrier and they told me to contact apple becquse they should fix it.

It could definately be a hardware problem if your brother's sim had the same issue. A way to isolate a hardware issue would be to back up your phone and set it up as a new device (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137) Give it a test with no information on the phone. If it still doesn't work, it's a hardware issue. Where you have a 4s, you're definetly still covered in your limited hardware warranty (if you don't have the apple care) You could then make an appointment at the apple store (http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/) Or call 1800 MY IPHONE to set up a mail in replacement. Good luck!!!

HT5661 i have a new iphone 5c replacing my iphone 4s. I backed up my 4s info on iCloud and then activated the new phone and downloaded from iclould. I then erased all info on my old 4s. However, I still can't get cellular service on my new phone. help

Keep powering your phone off and back on, it can take up to 2 hours for a normal service provider to finalize the activation process. When you got your new iPhone (congrats by the way) you should have received a little bubble that appeared that told you when the phone was activated, did you see that?

How can I get a service for new powerbook 15" 1.67 screen?

I would like to know how I can get a service for my brand new PB15" screen.
Today I have read an message on the Korean apple forum that New unit of 15" 1.67 doesn't have any line problem.
So, I really want to know whether it is true or not.
If it is, Can I get an exchange for my new 15" 1.67 in India?
Could you help me Apple?
I bought it in Korea 15,Nov, 2005 and Now I am in Mumbai India.
There is a apple international Mumbai in India.
I have a 1 year world worranty.
If the new unit doesn't have any line problem, It means that mine has a problem.
Now I am falling in love with powerbook 15" 1.67 which is my first Mac in my life except line problem.
How can I get a service for it.
Please Help me.

Yes I have read of other reports from people saying theirs are fine. I am really looking forward to purchashing one but I do not want to take a 2000 dollar chance that I might end up with a bad screen. I am still waiting for apple to make an announcement. I have also begun seing reports on some "news like" websites but not really the major ones.

How to get the service name of a webservice using UDDI API

Hi,
Iam working on setting up a dynamic partner link in a BPEL, by passing the endpoint of a web service queried from the UDDI (Oracle Service Registry 10.3 ) using the API. Iam able to do it successfully.
Now, for example I have two operations in my wsdl, one to createCustomer and the other to bookTicket. I need to get the operation name using UDDI API so that i can pass it along with the endpoint to the partner link. ie. When i need to createCustomer, my UDDI API code will need to get the service name createCustomer and the endpoint and I would pass them to the partnerlink and the createCustomer operation of my webservice would be called.
Can any one help me to get the service names of the wsdl using UDDI APIs.
Thanks,
Ananth

DO NOT Get The Service With This Company IF You Want to Receive a Good Customer Service

It is really a pain, dissatisfaction, and a lot more when you have Verizon as your service provider. I have been having service for my cellphones with Verizon for over 3 years, and did not have any major problems, so when I moved to my new place I thought it’s better to get the Fios, and have one bill for my all Verizon services. I went online and started to order my products online. During ordering, the chat session opened and I started chatting with the Customer Service Rep in order to get help through the process. When we were in the step that I could order the home phone plan, I saw the International World Plan, and I asked the lady to give me some information about this plan. I asked her that I want to call to my country and I mentioned my country’s name to her as well. I asked her that if this service is available for my country, and she said “Yes” you can call to over 100 countries with this service and she encouraged me to get the 300 minutes service. Since the plan sounded good to me I decided to get the 500 minutes instead of 300 min, and after I ordered my plan, I started calling overseas, and happy that I am paying less than the Phone cards with this plan. On March 26 I received my bill, and saw that Verizon charged me 142 $ for the less than 200 minutes that I called to my country, and there was a Letter “N” in front of each phone calls. I checked the guide to see what does “N” mean, and I saw that it said N means “Denoted calls are NOT listed in World Plan”. Well, thanks to the lady who gave me the wrong information while I was ordering my plan online, but she or the Verizon company is not that much lucky because I printed my chat session the day I ordered my plan since I wanted to have the information of what I actually had ordered. That time I did not think that I may get in trouble like this. Since March 27th, I have been calling Verizon every other day, and I have explained my issue to more than 10 Customer Service Reps, and each of them asked me to fax my chat session to them. I have been faxing that to all the numbers that they gave me, and I am keep faxing them, but do not get any respond. One of the Verizon’s Supervisors, whose name is Mark, called twice on my home phone number during the daytime, around 3 pm, and he left massages. On his second massage, he said that he checked the plan and my country is not listed in the International World Plan. He just said this, and he said that he was going to call me back, but never happened. He also did not leave me any phone number that I could call back. Also, since my cellphones are listed in the same bill as my other products, he could easily see the other numbers that he could call and reach me, but he did not bother himself to do so. I have even changed my home voice mail greeting addressing to Verizon, and left my cellphone number in voice mail greeting. I am so sorry that I have to say this, but this seems a definite fraud to me. I did not know about this plan, and I asked the Customer Service Rep to help me. She was responsible to check my country, or at least let me know how I could find out about the coverage. This is ridiculous, and if Verizon cannot take over this problem, my lawyer will take the action over, and takes the issue to their corporate court. I am not going to give up about this, and I decide to give Verizon about a week or so to solve this issue, but I won’t wait more than that. Just a friendly advice to people who want to get the home service through Verizon: DO NOT Get The Service With This Company IF You Want to Receive a Good Customer Service. There is nothing about taking care of customer in this company, and you are going to be stuck with what you get.

Need Urgent Help With Getting Intl Service from Bangkok

Before I arrived in Bangkok, I spoke with Verizon CS from the US because I needed Intl Service on my Iphone 4. My boyfriend has an Iphone 5 and was able to add a calling plan in 5 minutes of calling Verizon CS. I then called Verizon CS, and was told that my Iphone 4 cannot be used in Thailand. I told the CS Rep that my boyfriend just added the service on his Iphone 5, and did the same on a trip to Thailand last year with an Iphone 4. She told me that with an Iphone 5 he also cannot use the service in Thailand without a Sim Card or Global Phone? I then put him on the phone with her, and they spoke for ten minutes about this before my plane departed.
I have been in Bangkok since 04MAR14 trying to reach Verizon by web, Instant Chat, phone, and even called Verizon 611 from my boyfriend's handset. he call Failed! He then gave me this number to call Verizon Global Support: 908-559-4899. I have called this number numerous times from the hotel. The recording does not recognize when I "Press 1" or "Press 2", and proceeded to hang up on me several times. Is there no human at Verizon that help me????? I have spent approx 3 hours now trying to contact Verizon since 04MAR14. I am supposed to be enjoying my vacation here. Can someone please address these questions immediately?
1. Am I currently being charged to use WIFI in Thailand?
2. I transited Tokyo on 03MAR, and tried to call Verizon Support from my Handset, which Failed. Am I being charged for that?
3. What message do my contacts receive when they text me in the US?
4. Can I activate message response to contacts in the US now telling them that I am out of the country until the evening of 11MAR14?
Please help me, I am extremely frustrated, as I desparately want Phone service here in Thailand, and I am transiting back to Tokyo on 10MAR14, arriving there at 245pm, and I will need Phone service there as well.
Sincerely,
Nancy

I'm so sorry you haven't been able to get any service while traveling NancyStuckInThaiWithNoService, as well as for not being able to get a hold of anyone to assist you. I'm happy to answer your questions here. As you mentioned, the iPhone 4 is not a Global phone. Therefore, you can only use on a CDMA network, (not GSM). Thailand is GSM/Global, Japan/Tokyo is CDMA; therefore, you can use phone there. (It could be settings were not set correctly to use in Tokyo.
1. If you're using WiFi, there is no charge. Its best to turn Mobile Data off in Settings to avoid any International charges.
2. Japan/Tokyo calls are $1.99/minute. However, if trying to reach Global Support, you will not be charged.
3. Your contacts don't receive any notification when they text you. They may get some alert days later, that the message was not received by you/ or it has been timed out, but it won't say why.
4. If you're able to use another phone, and call your mobile number, you can press # when you hear your voice mail greeting, enter password, then # again, to change personal greeting. You're able to update greeting with notification that you're traveling.
** When back in Tokyo, you can go to Settings & make sure Airplane Mode is OFF. Also, you can go to General, (from Settings),> Network> Cellular Data- ON> Data Roaming- ON.***
Here are rates while in Japan/Tokyo http://vz.to/18TRKVE
Lastly, it may be easier to reach us on Facebook at Verizon Wireless, or on Twitter at @VZWSupport

Why does it take for a month to get internet services?

I'd like to know why does it take for a month to get internet services? I ordered my service on Jan 18,2012 and I got the installation kit on Jan 21,2012. But I can't use the internet and I have to wait until Feb 9,2012 for my service ready date. I think it takes a long time. I need the internet to do my project, but I can't. I'm very disappointed right now. I think I can use the internet after I place my order. (2 or 3 days it's ok, but I have to wait for a month that's terrible) Why can't they just turn on the services? I'd like to know who can i talk with?

Have you tried hooking the modem up, and does it get sync and does the Internet light come on? Even though you technicaly shouldn't do this, the line might already be up and running but they haven't told you yet. I don't know why it takes a month to hook up DSL. In my area, it takes two weeks typically from order to live, whether it's new service or a speed upgrade/downgrade (these are usually one week. They can be done on the spot, though!). No one has ever explained why it takes that long, but I presume it has someting to do with the billing cycle and perhaps line conditioning if they still do that (away from removing bridged taps and load coils), giving a technician time to pick up the service request and perform the task before someone goes, builds the profile for the line and then connects a few cables to an empty slot in a DSLAM and does some other background tasks to bring the connection online.
