HT1688 My new iPhone says no service
My new iPhone 5 says no service. I have synced it with iTunes. No what do I do?
I apologise for being negative. once I would have jumped to defend Apple too, but those days are over.
I have spent £600 on a product that I am going to have to sell at a loss of £300, having spent many previous hours trying to get it to work, plus a 70 mile round trip to my nearest apple store. I estimate the lost income and depreciation overall to have cost in excess of £600.
I have tried 4 sim cards on two networks (having moved from the phone network that I'd been on for 20 years in a desperate attempt to find a solution) in 3 iphone 5's, all with the same problem
And the final insult is that Apple no longer bothers to assit me; they don't return my calls or emails; nothing
I love everything else about the phone, so I've just installed the new software version and hope that will fix it. Otherwise my Nexus 4 arrived in the post today, so I will start using that if I get the problem again
I used to love Apple but they have let me down.
My reason for posting on these forums was to warn people that it is not your phone, it is EVERY iphone 5 that has the problem. Therefore don't waste your time getting a replacement.
Sorry for being negative, but that is how I feel!

Contact your carrier. You do have an account with a cellular provider, right?

Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?
I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also. -
My iPhone 4S says no service it been like that now for more then 24hrs, I've rebooted and taken SIM card out and put back, still no service.

What is wrong with my phone please help as this s 1st time I've experienced it
Has your phone been Jailbroken or Modified or Hacked...
Unauthorized modification of iOS
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743
If not... Take it to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) for evaluation...
If it has... You will need to look elsewhere
Sorry... But...

Just arrived in London, iPhone says "No Service"
I just flew into London and my iPhone says "no service". I am at Heathrow. I am on a corporate account and I was told we have an international plan. Do I need a separate sim card for Europe? Help.
P.S. I have not updated with 2.1 yet. I usually sync with my desktop at home. Can I update with my laptop? and should I?JavaBeanCoder wrote:
There's a one time charge (rip off!) of $1.29 that goes with it. Without this, you will see the NO SERVICE status on your iPhone if you are abroad with the hope of roaming on other GSM networks. Defeats the purpose of having a GSM phone doesnt it? Pfft!
GSM does not guarantee roaming. GSM is simply a set of features.
As for the whopping $1.29, it would seem if you can afford the airfare that should not be a problem. -
Why does my new phone say "no service"?
My new phone says "no service". What do I need to do?
Hi
Sounds like you have no connection to the network.
Have you called your airtime provider to activate your nano-Sim?
Hope this helps -
I got a new iphone 5 and have transferred my information...I am doing an update on my new phone now...My old phone still has service buy my new one is saying no service...What do i need to do? Thank you
I got a similar message, but mine finished restoring pretty soon and then I was able to download and install 7.0.2
Try rebooting your phone to see if that helps. -
New iPhone - when does service start?
Just picked up a couple new iPhones - one for me, one for my wife.
The guy at AT & T store said it would take a few hours before we were able to use the phones...well, it's been 5-1/2 hours now and no service. Is this normal???
JimO
Erie, PADid you port your number over from a different carrier? If so, when I got my iPhone the guy said it can take up to 3 hours for it to complete but mine took 1 1/2 days before everything was complete. Until then I had to use my iPhone to make calls and my old phone (Verizon) to receive calls/text messages.
It was only a matter of minutes before my iPhone was activated however (able to make calls from it).
If you're not in the same situation then I'm not sure what to say except wait it out, maybe the AT&T servers are chugging along slowly but surely tonight. -
I have been using my Iphone 3GS for 3 weeks, no all of sudden it says 'no service". I have taken the sim card out and turned the power off. Nothing works. Anyone help?
You may need to get a new SIM from ATT for the iPhone in order for it to successfully activate in iTunes.
When you first plugged in to iTunes, you should have been prompted to activate the phone. Instead, it sounds like your phone is being recognized as a "Touch" since it let you sync music to it. -
Iphone says no service , other phone on same plan works, why ?
My Iphone 3G( no S) all of a sudden says No Service, and will not work to make calls. The other phone I have on the same plan is working fine. I tried to update software on the phone and it says it can not find the server. It has been a while since I updated the software because I seem to always get an error or time expired message. Any thoughts or ideas ?
Thank you !A couple of things can cause this. The SIM may not be seated well, or the phone would need to be reset. If you haven't, turn the iPhone off/on and check. If that doesn't help, then reset the phone. That is accomplished by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the iPhone reboots, try it. If that doesn't help, you may need to do a restore.
If you are having issues with updates and connecting to the server, that can often be explained by your Internet connection. An intermitent, or slow connection can cause this, as well as problems with anti-virus software. You may need to temporarily disable any anti-virus software to complete an update. Issues with a file called "host" on your computer can also cause issues. If you can locate it, open it with a text editor and remove any references to Apple, reboot the computer and try again.
If those don't help, make sure you copy down the exact error message and share that with us and we can see if we can help more. -
My Iphone says No Service then shortly after will turn off then back on.
Ive had this iphone for about 2 years. It is in perfect condition. i was using it all day the day it started messing up. I was taking pictures and i was uploading them to facebook. My facebook became slow and not working right so i restarted my iphone and all of a sudden in the corner it says NO SERVICE. I wasnt really trippen about it because i have a prepaid sim card in it that i havent paid in 2 months or so. But it shortly turned off and turned back on by itself. It was doing that until the battery died all the way. That was when i got kinda scared.
Today i plugged it into Itunes and restored it. it still says no service. but it hasnt turned off yet. Im waiting for it.
Can anyone tell me why its doing this?
PS. I absolutaly have not dropped it in water so it cant be water damage.Hello,
Is it really an iPhone 3G with iOS 5.1? I thought it was no longer supported.
I had that occurred to me before but I restored it from an existing backup and the problem went away. If you could, you can try and upload your crash logs from ios 5+ and see what is causing the restart.
If there is nothing to lose (e.g. Data), then you can see if a full restore (e.g. Set it to factor settings) will help. Below is a link:

I hope this helps but please feel free to wait for others to input. -
