i have an iPhone 4 and it turns on but it keeps "searching" for service and it says to connect to my itunes and a support grouop but when i plug it into my laptop (and i have a toshiba not a mac) my phone doesnt even connect so i have no idea whatas going on with my phone and i need it asap!

Check your connection - Reset Network Settings - Toggle Airplane Mode -
If none of those help hard reset the phone
Hold down the Home button and the Power on/off button "at the same time"
-Screen will go black then after a few seconds you should see the Apple Logo, once you see the logo let go of both buttons. Allow the iPhone to reboot-

Sorry, there is no support for jailbroken iPhones here...more than likely the cause of your problem. You'll have to go elsewhere for help.
Good luck.

Cannot make calls or send text messages

Hello,
I cannot make or receive calls and text messages. I called my carrier and it isn't them. What can I do? Do I need to go to an Apple store?

the model is A1387...I can switch my service provider and keep the same number..not an issue...But why exactly is it happening with a new vodafone sim ??? i will try out airtel and loop mobile sim cards as well..
I have also contacted the vodafone technical department...may be its not a problem on their part..but they said they would like to look into it as this case is a first of its kind...they also told me that my old dolphin (mtnl) card would work on a diff band compared to the new vodafone / airtel/ aircel sim cards..!
If if doesnt work out ..i'll risk sending the phoen back to sydney for a replacement so that I can end up with a different model series! will have to wait another 2-3 months to get teh phoen back though!
thank you!

I am having problem with iphone 4s, I can not make calls or send text message? Please help.

The problem is presistant. I tried to send the text message but it does not leave the phone, it is only delivered after I turn the phone off and then turn it on again. Only then it gets delivered and even that is only for that moment.
Secondly, I can not send or recieve the calls as well.
Thirdly, after I make a call, the calling screen gets stuck and I can not talk to the current caller or dial to another caller.
Note: I have 'Not" dropped my iphone any where uptil now and I keep it in a pouch to protect it. The problem started recently and before that it worked fine. The problem started when I turned off the phone and after an hour or 2, I turned it on again.
The signals of the service provider is coming perfectly. I haven't found any problem with there service yet.

Network unavailable means the phone is detecting and using the SIM, else you would get a NO SIM error.
It means that Sprint does not exist in the Ukraine (obvious), and Sprint does not have any interconnection agreement with a local carrier. Hence, the phone can't talk to anyone, carrier-wise. You need to get a SIM from a local carrier and try again. If it works, you're all set and the phone is indeed unlocked. Else you have been conned and will need to go and complain with whomever sold it to you.

My iphone 5 clock is not working properly. I've tried to reset it, and update the clock automatically and manually, and the time is still off. My alarms aren't working because of this, and I need my phone to work properly.

Automatic time is a function of your Wireless carrier. Your post indicates that your iPhone (5 or 5c) is running iOS 7.0.6. The current version is 7.1.1. You might try updating your device to the current iOS version.

What could be done to solve the problem?

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

I cannot use my iPhone to make calls or send text messages after upgrading to ios 7

I just upgraded to ios7 and I can no longer make calls or send text messages. The screens seem to be locking. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

Iphone 4s wont make calls or send texts/ iMessage not working

My iPhone 4s just recently started showing 'No Service" in the top left corner of the screen and iMessage will not activate either. It switches off from no service to having service. I cannot make calls either. Ive tried calling *228 but my phone will not make the call. I cant send regular text messages either it just comes back as message failed to send. As you can see this is very frustrating as I need my phone to do the basics of texting and calling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some things to try.
Call Customer Service and ask them to check your local towers
Hard reset of the phone.
Reset the Networks on the phone settings. Settings > General > scroll to bottom > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Back up to iTunes on a computer and restore

Just unlocked Blackberry Curve 8520 with online code, now cannot make calls or send sms! PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I unlocked my phone about an hour ago using a legitimate unlock code from unlocks.co.uk. I entered the code and it seemed to work fine and now my network shows up as Vodafone uk (I have unlocked it from T-Mobile)
It looks as though it is unlocked and I have checked the connections - I have signal and it says I am connected to the vodafone network, however, I cannot make any calls or send texts! If I try to call a number I get the call failed signed and the failed call dial tone. I tried to send a text but it didn't work - the text now has a red X and says 'unidentified subscriber'. I know this is a fault with my phone as the people I have tried to text and call have no problems with their phones/networks.
Please somebody help me! I have no idea what to do! I contacted the unlocking company and they say if I'm sure the sim I'm inserting is active (which I am) then it is likely my phone has been blacklisted, but I dont think it has. I bought it as a pay as you go handset from Argos just a week ago and it's been working fine until then.
I put my old t-mobile sim back in and it seems to work - does this mean it hasn't been unlocked successfully or not?
Many thanks

Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Then try your Vodafone SIM again.

I have moved from uk to Ireland and changed my mobile provider, but I can't send texts to uk numbers. My service provider say it is an I phone problem, not a service provider problem.

I have moved from uk to Ireland and had to change my service provider, but despite 3 calls to my service provider I can't send texts to the uk. They have checked it out by my using a different SIM card, but I still cannot send texts. They say it is problem with my iPhone 4's settings and told me to contact apple. Can anyone help me?

If you can find out what country your iPhone was officially sold in, you could take it there (or if originally sold in the EU, take it to any EU country where Apple officially sells the iPhone) or you could send the iPhone to someone you know in that country who could get it serviced and then ship it back to you. Apple Support does not accept shipments from other countries, and will not ship a serviced iPhone to another country.
This, though, presumes that the iPhone has not been modified as your service provider claimed. If it has, Apple will not provide service for it in any country.
You may be able to find out what country your iPhone was officially sold in by calling Apple Support:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
and giving them the serial number.
Regards.

Subscription renewed but cannot make call

Hello, I bought yesterday a new unlimited (Europe) subscription but i can't call is that normal ?

Hello All
Please note that your accounts show that you have used your full minutes allocation in your current billing cycle and your next minutes will be added to your account when your next billing cycle starts.
Renewing your monthly Subscription before your billing cycle ends has NO effect on the date upon which your minutes allocation will be added to your account.
To continue calling until your next minutes allocation is applied to your account please purchase either a Subscription but with a different amount of minutes or Skype Credit.
I'm closing this thread now. If you have further queries please post INDIVIDUALLY as using someone else's topic will delay a response to you.
Thank you.
