I cannot make or receive calls with my sim card inserted.

recently had dropped my iphone 5 s and everything works apart from making and receiving call via sim. wifi calls are ok with viber etc.
i had the back case changed but the problem persists. Help!

the guy only charged me for the back case replacement as he could not fix the calls issue - he says it could be a motherboard issue.
I  tried a replacement sim card and problem persists
thanks

  • IPhone 5s can't make or receive calls and replaced SIM card

    need help can't make or receive calls and got SIM card replaced twice

    If the carrier cannot help you, then I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store to have the hardware checked. I really do not believe it is the hardware.
    You could try a restore before going to the Apple Store. Make sure you have a backup of the phone and restore the device as new. After activation is complete, see if you can make a call. If it is possible, then restore your backup to recover your content and test again. If it fails, then it is a problem with your backup. If neither works, and the carrier cannot help, then make the appointment.

  • Cannot make or receive calls on specific locations

    Hi there,
    I had the iphone4 with iOS 5.0.1 and recently bought the 4S. After 10-15 days of use I am experiencing an antenna problem in specific locations (e.g. @home). When i arrive at home the iPhone 4S cannot make or receive calls with minor exceptions when suddenly a few SMS's (reporting incoming calls) received declaring that someone was trying to reach me.
    I have never experienced such problems with the iPhone 4 under the same conditions (location, iOS5, etc.) and therefore I am suspecting that somehow the new antenna is being blocked (confused) perhaps of this new intelligent switching system.
    When I leave home (a few hundred meters distance) the 4S become operational again!
    Can anyone be of any help with this?
    K.R.

    Hi Deerfield2415,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues making calls from your iPad using your iPhone and Continuity in iOS8, you may find the information outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Issue for the past 2 hours. Cannot make or receive calls in Little Falls, NJ. Is there a problem with the local tower?

    Issue for the past 2 hours. Cannot make or receive calls in Little Falls, NJ. Is there a problem with the local tower?

    You haven't enabled VoLTE (Advanced calling) have you?  Not that it makes a difference just curious. 
    Have you upgraded to Lollipop yet?
    Could be hardware or SIM card issue, read through this thread:
    I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

  • No 3g\wifi - Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls.

    Just started getting this message on an IPAD:
    "Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Contact Apple at www.apple.com/service."
    3g and wifi is not working. The ipad has only been connected to itunes once when the device was set up so I'm worried about losing everything.
    I've looked online a bit and found a bunch of users with this issue on their iphone but couldn't find many ipad users with the issue. It sounds like the only way to make it work is to "restore" it or get a new one. "restore" means factory reset? Will I be able to back up everything first?
    I may try upgrading the device to ios 4 first.
    Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to fix it?

    Strangely it started working on it's own after a few days. Then I connected it to itunes, created a backup, and upgraded to 3.22. Of course it quit working on vacation then started working again when I was on my way home. I guess I better bring my laptop next time in case it acts up again. Too bad ipad and iphones are tied down and require a PC.

  • Error message Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes

    I received this error message - "Iphone cannot make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes" 
    Has anyone received this before & know what the issue is?

    If you are restoring from a backup, that's your problem. The backup is corrupt. After you restore, you need to select "Set up as new." You will need to reinstall everything again.

  • My iphone 4 displays message that it cannot make or receive calls, I have restored it but after awhile the message comes back.....

    My iphone occasionally loses service and displays the message "iphone cannot make or receive calls", I have restored it twice and the phone will work for a while but reverts back to losing service and displaying the same message again.  Any help?

    It sounds like a hardware or AT&T issue. Contact AT&T.

  • My iPhone cannot make or receive calls.  I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work.  I do not want to delete all of my contacts.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode.  I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing.  This is beyond silly.

  • Iphone cannot make or receive calls

    hello. my iphone 4 is not connecting to sim card and sign SEARCHING is still remaing on the left side where the carrier shows and also shows a massages when i restart it that restore needed iphone cannot make or receive calls what should i do ?

    If you are getting a message the iPhone needs to be restored with iTunes, this means there is a major problem. Have you restored the iPhone with iTunes on your computer?

  • "Repair needed, iPhone cannot make or receive calls"

    so i walked back over to my table and saw it looked like i had a text that just came it and it was this message that said "Repair needed, iPhone cannot make or receive calls". no service, restarted the phone and its all good now.
    fluke or do i need to be calling apple?
    going to an apple store isnt exactly easy for me now (nearest one is an hour away, after aug 11 ill be really close to one though)
    the threads i found via search on this were either no answers or just "restore it and if it happens again call apple".
    i do have a habit of getting dud phones every time i get a cell phone (first razr needed to be replaced right out of the box, first gen iphone the home button wore out in 4 weeks so i was kind of hoping 3rd time would be the charm, not sure though)
    thanks

    This same thing happened to me last night. Same error and when I tried to restore I kept getting the 1604 error. I was working and it happened around 11:00pm. I setup an appointment with the 5th Ave. store in NYC for 2:10am. I get there and one guy tells me it will be covered under my warranty. The "genius" tells me something is caught in the headphone jack and that they can't get the spill detector in there to verify if it's spill damage and that I'm up the creek. So, $199 for a 1st gen 8GB or $199 for a new 8GB 3G. I'm really upset about this as I didn't have a working phone and that's not very conducive to my line of work and I'm told I yet again need to spend more money. There was nothing I could do and they wouldn't budge I ended up getting a new 16GB White 3G today, but I'm not happy with this outcome. The new phone is nice, but I really thought long and hard about sticking with my original iPhone till next year. I hope that you outcome is much brighter At least I didn't have to wait in line today. I walked right into the 14th St. store and they said they had 2 16GB's if I was interested in one and I took it.
    That's my story.
    Best,

  • Blackberry Bold 9930- cannot make or receive calls

    Please Help!
      Woke up this morning and my phone icon was missing on my home screen.  It wouldn't be a huge deal, but I also discovered that I cannot make or receive calls.  I have had several people try to reach me and they all say it goes straight to voicemail.  Even if I try to dial a number and hit send, nothing happens.  I have searched all of my folders to see if it was hiding, have reset my theme, taken out the battery, blah, blah, blah.  The only thing I have working for me is that both e-mail and text messages are working fine.  Please, if anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear asap.

    Hello,
    I want to make sure you are both able to make calls as normal.  Did this occur after installing any new applications or adjusting any settings?  Is the device still showing adequate signal strength?  Based on the the device still receiving text messages the voice signal is still transmitting to the device.  I would like to take a closer look at your account settings.  Please send a Direct Message with your name and account information and I can investigate further.
    Thank You

  • I cannot make or receive calls or messages

    I recently purchased my iphone and when I first installed my sim it worked - was able to make and receive calls.
    Since then I have been adding applications, songs etc and generally played around with the phone.
    Now I have discovered I cannot make or receive calls or text messages.
    I think I may have done something accidently.
    Have tried all the suggestions on the apple site but still no luck.
    Can anybody offer any other suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Did you check if you set your iPhone to Flight Mode by mistake?  If you did, he will only work as an iPod, no calls or messaging.
    If you did the above, just set it back to normal, you will need to access settings on your iPhone, it is easy to check.

  • E72 cannot make or receive call , sms

    I cannot make or receive call from my E72. Even cannot send or receive sms. When i dail any number a lock sign appears in front of number and nothing happens. When i restart my phone then its start working fine. I am extremely annoyed the basic functionality of cell phone is to make or recive call if  we cannot perform this task what is the use of buying such expensive E-series phone. I need resolution.
    My firm ware is 053.001
    Model E72-1

    I have uploaded a picture although quality is not good, i will provide a good quality picture later. If you see upper right corner above the green cradle there is an open lock.
    What i observe is when the cell or connection is working the lock appears open but when there is problem at cell or connection end it appears as closed.
    I told you earlier i used the same SIM with Nokia 3110c since 2008 till october 2010 it worked fine i never encountered problem of this sort.
    As per your advice i will check with service provider also.
    No the lock problem doesnot appear quickly after restart it take around 2 to 3 days.

    Are you saying that your house has both a home wifi network and your office's wifi network?
    Or are you using the Mac and Phone at both work and home?
    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum so are you lugging the Mac Pro desktop to work?
