Help - Unable to use Phone in Brazil

I have traveled to 12 countries with my iPhone and it always just jumps on the network right when I get off the plane. Whether im in the Eastern Block (Prague) or in Thailand. NEver had a problem.
Here I am in Rio De Janeiro Brazil and it says "No Service". It even lists 5 carriers, and when I click on one, it says "Your carrier is no longer available" for each.
Is there a setting buried somewhere that I need to have enabled for this to work, that I might have inadvertently disabled?
Do you NEED to have international calling enabled through AT&T for the phone to hop on a local network when outside the country? I know there are a few different tiers of international fee's. One is a discounted international plan, and I think the other just enables your phone for international. I could be wrong.

Nevermind. Somehow "ATT WORLD CONNECT / WORLD TRAVELER" for $5.99 had been disabled on my account. I re-enabled it in the web site and that did the trick.

    After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
    If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
    If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
    Good luck

    Can someone help me please my phone has froze up during an IOS update i can't use my phone at all at this point the ITunes Logo is plastered on my phone screen Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Try resetting by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • Unable To Use Phone Keypad (# or *)?

    I recently purchased the "Calling Card" application:
    [http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=2059]
    Trying to use it, I noticed I was unable to enter # or *
    and to my surprise was told the iPhone doesn't allow applications
    to enter these.
    This seems silly since these two keys are part of the phone
    and used extensively when entering numbers inside any IVR
    out there...is this correct or is this program just trying
    to blame someone else?
    -Glenn

    Those buttons work using the Calling Card application?

    thanks. the weird thing is, it didn't "recover" the phone at all. it simply said, "phone activated" when i plugged it in.

  • Help pls. Used phone passed to me

    Now am transferring o2 to Orange and need to activate SIM. Have this 4s' serial nos etc. (I think) and have registered with Apple. My son, who gave it, is worried that he will lose data from his account started on this phone, and later used on his new 5 phone. If I put in my Apple reg on his old phone will that work. If I put his Apple ID and p/ord will he lose what he has stored? Any thoughts

    The following are the instructions on what to do before selling or giving away a phone. You can do that now (although you may need him to sign out of Find My iPhone on the old phone if that is turned on). You can then set up the phone as a new device using your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661

  • Help : Unable to use Java Beans in Oracle forms 6i

    Hi ,
    I have been trying to run few sample code to understand how to use Java beans in oracle forms 6i .But have been largely unsuccessfull.
    It will be great if somebody can provide me with some simple form( and java code )which uses java beans concept to give some data to the java program and receive some data from it . Pls inform me about the settings that need to be done.
    If you guys know it then pls take the pains of writing a simple form and java code.
    i hope somebody will respond because your reply is very necesary for me to proceed.
    U can email me the code > [email protected]
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply Francois.
    Actually i am not facing problem understanding the programming technique.
    I think the problem at my end is more of a cofiguration one.I am using forms version 6i
    on oracle 8.
    Every time i set the imlementation class property of the bean area it gives an error 13010 which translates to that "the class being mentioned is not extending the IView class".
    The class i have written extends VBean so i am not sure why this error is occuring.
    I think if oracle (correctly) finds the java class to use then i will be able to proceed.
    Pls reply.
    If you have some code that is working fine then pls send it to me.And also inform is some environment variables have to be set for its use.

  • HT4528 my 4s is locked on the iTunes screen.  Rebooted several times to no avail.  Unable to use phone at all.  Cant

    My 4s is locked on the iTunes screen.  Rebooted it several times to no avail.  I was in the middle of updating to the 7.1 and it shut down, then froze on itune

    Follow Tim's advice. If you have any problems open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click the Restore button of iTunes on computer.

  • HT4061 i bought an unlocked iphone 4s in the UK, am now living in Thailand. cannot use phone on AIS simm card. any ideas please?

    iphone 4s bought from a friend in Uk. phone unlocked. unable to use phone in thailand, is there anything i have to do to get the phone working. have put a AIS sim card in the 4s, it comes up, activation failed, carrier not supported. do i try another sim card from a different carrier, how do i find what carriers are supported on this iphone? do i need to take the phone to a shop for unlocking to this carrier? any info would be very helpful. many thanks

    It seems as though the iPhone is not unlocked from the carrier. You need to contact the UK carrier the iPhone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock the iPhone as they are the only ones who can unlock it.

  • I have got an iPhone MC605J version 6.0 soft bank iphon 4 but unable to use it in India.  I am trying to use Airtel sim but the phone is showing invalid sim.  So please help me out to unlock it.

    No one here can help you, & Apple can't/won't help you. Fact is, there is no way to get that iPhone officially unlocked. Only Softbank can authorize the official unlocking of your phone, but they won't. Softbank does not offer official unlocking for any iPhone.
    It is what it is.

  • Why i am unable to use skype from my sony xperia c3 dual phone.help me as soon as possible.

    i was using skype from my mobile phone and it was really good but few days i was unable to use skype.i face lot of problem.please help me as soon as possible.

    Sounds like your iPhone was unofficially unlocked by hacking it. You need to call AppleCare, tell them you only want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is locked to and give them the model and serial number. Then contact that cell carrier and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.
