  • IPhone 5 says "No Service" after unlock

    Hello,
    I recently bought a secondhand iPhone 5 from my girlfriend which was locked to the Vodafone UK network. I'm currently with Virgin Mobile UK so I looked into getting the iPhone unlocked to use with my current SIM.
    I came across a seller on eBay who unlocks iPhones and has very good reviews, so I purchased an unlock request through them. Yesterday morning I received a message from the seller informing me that the iPhone was ready to be unlocked and gave me instructions on how to complete the process.
    When I connected the iPhone to iTunes, I was greeted with the "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked" message. However, when it comes to inserting a SIM from a different network, it just says "No Service" in the top left of the screen.
    I've seen quite a number of threads about this issue and I've tried several different methods of resolving it. I have tried:
    Trying multiple SIM cards (it will work with the Vodafone SIM I have but not with ones for other networks)
    Toggling Airplane Mode on/off
    Resetting the network settings
    Erased all content and settings
    Restored the iPhone via iTunes (iTunes is up-to-date)
    I'm quite stuck on what to do now. I've contacted the seller who's assured me that the phone is unlocked and send me a "GSX Report" (whatever that is). Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Just wanted to give an update on this for those who may be experiencing the same problem.
    I spoke to someone from Apple a few days ago who tried to help me resolve this. They confirmed that the phone was unlocked. After going through some of the fixes I've tried already, they suggested it may be a problem with the SIM cards I was using and recommended getting a brand new one to try.
    I got my new nano SIM through from Virgin Mobile yesterday, transferred my number and contract across and now it's all working perfectly.
    I'm not really sure why people on here were so reluctant to give me advice on what to do. When I told Apple that I got the iPhone unlocked through an eBay retailer, they didn't question it at all. They said nothing about it being hacked or that I should have gone through the carrier, and they assured me that the phone was completely unlocked.
    Oh well. I'm glad it's working now. Thanks Apple!

  • IPhone 4s says "no service" after update to iOS7

    I just updated my phone and now I can't make a call. I can text and the wifi works but it says no service. I've tried resetting the network settings but still no luck. Someone help!

    I had to turn off automatic carrier (Settings - Carrier - Automatic toggle), select my carrier manually, and then turn automatic back on again. Fixed it for me.

  • HT4759 iphone 4s said no service after factory unlocked

    help help i factory unlocked iphone 4s and does nor pick up servise said no service all the time

    The message subject says it is a Verizon phone. Which suddenly rang a bell. Verizon screwed up big time with faulty updates to Apple's Activation Database last month that affect the iPhone 4 and 4S. Apple and Verizon are working at undoing the damage, but currently they are only fixing it for people who call. So it would be a good idea to call Apple, and ask (nicely) to be escalated to senior engineering, who are the only ones who can fix it. If the problem is unrelated to jailbreaking, that is. If the phone was ever jailbroken deggie already posted how it might be possible to fix that.

  • Iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

  • Iphone 3gs says no service

    Even after powercycling repeatedly, resetting network settings, resetting all settings and replacing SIM card, my iphone 3GS still says No Service.

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome

  • Sync ends in iTunes with certain apps, but iPhone still says syncing

    [I'm using the 3.0 version of the software, haven't yet upgraded to 3.1]
    The other day, while traveling, I hooked my iPhone up to my laptop computer for the first time. (I normally use my home "desktop" PC.) It did a sync which caused about 2/3 of my applications to disappear.
    When I got home, I reconnected the iPhone to my main PC, and iTunes said the PC was not authorized, so I authorized it for the second time (and now it says I have authorized 4 computers when I've only authorized 3.)
    When trying to sync back the applications I've had in the past to the phone, there are certain applications (including Google Earth, Finger Piano Lite, ETrade Mobile Pro, and a couple of others) which cause the sync to end part way through the installation (and the app does not show up on the phone) and cause the iPhone to no longer be recognized by the iTunes software (the iPhone icon disappears from the column) until I disconnect and reconnect the phone. When the sync ends in iTunes, the iPhone still says "Sync in Progress" even though it's not syncing.
    At one point, many of my icons also got a white blank stripe across about the top 1/4 of the icons. I deleted them from the iPhone and resynced and it seemed to get rid of that problem.
    When I right-click on the iPhone icon in iTunes and run diagnostics, iTunes crashes completely.
    I have tried resetting the iPhone by holding down the two buttons at the same time, but the problem persists even after restarting after that reset.
    Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

  • IPhone 4S says "No Service"?

    I reset iPhone settings.
    I reset iPhone network settings.
    I took out SIM card to see if it's fine.
    I switched it with my sister to see if it worked, and it did.
    It still says "NO SERVICE" or "Searching..."
    Any ideas what I can do to fix it?

  • Iphone keeps dipslaying no service after i updated it to ios5

    iphone keeps dipslaying no service after i updated it to ios5

    I may have found a solution! First, if you are having these problems, check the build of your iOS version. Go to Settings>General>About>Version. This should read 5.0.1 (9A405).
    Upon closer inspection of search engines, I came accross a website titled "What is the difference between iOS 5.0.1 build 9A405 and 9A406?". As it transpires, there's a great deal of difference, for us 4S users anyway.
    Here's the website (I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting a link. Please let me know if I am!):
    http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/971716
    The difference between these builds seems to be a fix for a problem in the iPhone 4S not recognising SIM cards. Apple's own knowledge base article states the following;
    "In certain situations, iPhone 4S may have difficulty recognizing a micro-SIM card, resulting in the following behaviors:
    "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert appears intermittently.
    Status bar displays "No Service" or "Searching" in a location with good network coverage."
    Apparently, because this is a small fix for a small number of users, the fix has not been released as iOS 5.0.2. Therefore, people who updated to 5.0.1 early, such as myself, can't simply update by checking on iTunes or Software Update. In order to receive this newer build we have to restore the phone to factory settings, confirm the build has been updated to 9A406, then restore from a backup.
    I haven't attempted this yet as it may take some time, and I don't have enough until later in the week, but it anyone else tries this beforehand and finds it works, please let us know!

    This same thing happend to me,  you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16,  because if you dont own a credit card,  you shouldnt be over this age,  so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday,  do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options,  but if you want to buy something,  you will have to do the credit card stuff,  or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store,  So this is how i fixed my problum,  i hope it works for you,  write back your responce of how it worked out please!

  • My Iphone 4 says "No Service"

    My Iphone 4 says "No Service"  I've sleep and away, rebooted, restarted network setting, taken the sim card out.. what else can I do? or do you think it is a hardware issue and I have to go to apple?

    It very well could be a problem with your carrier. But try turning the phone off and on and even take out the sim card. Then put the sim card back in and power it up again.
