HT201412 Emergency Call only on the Screen
I cannot start my iPhone.. Only Emergency Callon the Screen and connect itunes.. please help..
I see this is an old thread and I happened to find it searching for information about the "Emergency Call" button. I just got my first iPhone, a 4S, on Friday. I have had an iPod Touch 4 and iPad 2 for a while but they lack the "Emergency Call" feature so my question never came up before. Is there a way to make ICE contacts available when the phone is locked under iOS 5? I can see this as a useful new feature to the "Contacts" app if there was a way to mark certain entries as "emergency contact" which would then make them, and only them, available for browsing and calling from the lock screen.

"emergency calls only" - but only sometimes!
Hi everyone,
I bought the new iphone 4, and it worked just fine. The guy at the store (mobile phones store) inserted microsim, activated the device and everything was fine untill it was turned off by me. Then, when i would power it on, it would present the "emergency calls only" screen, but not allways! if you w8 for some time, try again, you can power it on normally, and again, if you power it down, and try again, guess what: "emergency calls only".
The craziest thing is that it gets the carrier signal once i turn it on successfully, but losses it after a few moments saying "no service".
Any idea on what could be the problem here?
i tried restoring with itunes, but except for losing all the data, it didn't really help....
do you think this is a sim card issue, or some hardware issue with the iphone?
ty for any replies!y, i forgot to say, that the "emergency calls only" screen, was also "connect to itunes" screen... sry

My old brick phone battery died yesterday so I've bought a newer brick. I have an Orange PAYG SIM card which I've been using for more than ten years, but when I put it in the new phone it says Emergency Calls Only. The sim, however, has transferred all my contact info. I've tried to update the network details manually, but it says the network isn't registered. The new phone is a Samsung GT-E1200I. Help.
Have you made sure your new phone is not locked to another network?

I have recently got an iPhone 4 out of no where it has decided to think that my headphones are in and they are not but does work with headphones in.
Then later on within the same day it after turning my phone on and putting it on charge it comes to the screen stating to connect to iTunes/emergency calls only/no service so I connect it iTunes and it says we are unavailable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care.

IPhone 3G stuck on emergency calls only screen. HELP!
Hi everyone, I really need some help.
I bought my jailbroken iPhone 3G from Hong Kong on eBay a few months back. Everything was working fine on iOS 4.2.1, except the battery life was very poor. After getting the battery replaced there was no improvement. So my boyfriend suggested I try restoring the phone with iTunes as it was supposed to improve the battery life.
I plugged my phone in and went through the restore process, only to receive "iTunes Error 1015". After this my iPhone went into recovery mode and stayed put. I tried using a YouTube tutorial and TinyUmbrella to help me out of the error, but it only made my phone go to the "Emergency calls only" screen and now the phone will not appear in iTunes as it says the SIM card that has worked perfectly with iTunes every other time is not supported. I am at a total loss as for what I am meant to do. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I found your problem.
All sorts of things can go wrong with jailbroken phones, it's never a good idea to do so. Not to mention, it means you won't be getting much help on here. -
How do I get out of "Emergency Call" only screen?
How do I disable "Emergency Call Only" screen?
eaglemai,
Thanks for the info! Are you able to unlock the device at all to access the settings menu? Do you have the Family Base feature active on your account? Do you recall how the device entered the Emergency call only mode?

Using the app "Find my iPhone", I activated lock my iPhone remotely from my iPhone to my sons iPhone. How do I deactivate it for him to use? It says emergency calls only now..
Welcome to the Apple Community John.
Enter the pass code you set up when locking the phone or the screen lock code already in use on the phone if you weren't required to set one up when you locked it. -
Tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen?
tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen? it also says hook phone up with itunes. well i have an old mac and my itunes isnt up to date and cant be installed up to date because of the old software. what do i do?
You'll need to update your system or fine a system you can use to activate it. There's no way around it.
If you can get to an Apple store and explain the situation to them, they 'may' be able to hook you up with an OS upgrade to Leopard assuming you have a G4 or G5 mac that can handle it. -

Why can't I restore my iphone 4. it says to connect to itunes to restore and emergency calls only. But it doesn't restore.
Reboot your computer
Connect the USB end of the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Disable your firewall and antivirus
Launch iTunes
Disconnect the phone from the other end of the cable
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes black, then release the SLEEP button but contiune holding the HOME button
Connect the cable to the phone while still holding HOME
Wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in "recovery mode", then release HOME and your phone should restore. -
Update software, up all night, emergency calls only, or restore.
Everytime I update the software I'm up all night trying to get my phone to work again. As soon as the software is loaded I get the emergency calls only screen on my phone. It takes hours of playing around, restarting, rebooting, Norton goback, you name it to get my phone to restore which takes hours. Why does a simple "upgrade" set me back so far. I have to plan it for weekends when I can stay up all night.
Help. Apple do something!!!!Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
While very thorough, the one thing I don't think I see in your list is unlocking your BB from it's original carrier (a prerequisite for using it on a different carrier). See this FAQ.
