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.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My phone won't make or receive calls or send text messages after the iOS 8.1.1 update.

My phone will no longer make or receive calls and I can't text after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I've tried everything except chucking the phone out the window. Any ideas? I have reset it multiple times, turned it off and back on, reset the network settings, reset all settings, toggled the airplane mode switch, and done a complete factory restoration. What else is there to do? I can't get a new phone for another year.

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.

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!

Cannot make calls or send texts using new carrier, was able to do both with previous carrier

iphone 4 bought new/privately JAIL BROKEN/SIM FREE, used with uk carrier no problem, but now using a thailand sim (TRUE) and cannot make calls or send texts - but can recieve both, TRUE checked & found SIM OK and confirmed it worked normally on another iphone ... software is up to date and I RESET NETWORK SETTINGS still same - HELP !

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.

The ability to see and send calendar invites is a function of the calendar you are subscribing to and who owns it. We need more information, like what calendar are you subscribing to? MS Exchange? Google? Mobile Me?

My iPhone won't let me send text messages!

My iphone will not let me send text messages but i can do everything else from calling to reciving as well as accessing the internet.
I am able to use another sim card in the phone and it work's perfectly. i do not know what else i can do, i have called apple and my service provider, i have reset my network settings and restored it on the ipod. please help!

Hi! I know this is much later but if anyone else has this problem I think I've found the solution, the problem is the obvious SIM Card, you may need to activate your sim card on your carriers website! I am with Orange EE and that's the verdict for me! Hope this helps P.S. I've had the same problem x

Why the iPhone 4 16GB drains out the battery faster after upgrading to ios 5?

Why the iPhone 4 16GB drains out the battery faster after upgrading to ios 5?

Not sure, but try this:
Let the battery drain to below 20% (I went to about 14%).
Plug your phone in and leave it to charge COMPLETELY. This took my phone somewhere around 4 hours to complete.
When you're done, you may have better luck keeping a charge.
iOS 5 adds a lot of additional communication, and every time you connect wirelessly to anything, more power is used. Even so, some people report that a battery cycle like this helps. It seems to have worked for me.

IPhone not showing contacts names in text messaging after sync AND reset

Three days ago, I bought the iPhone 4S as an updgrade from the 3GS. I also transferred my wireless service plan from AT&T to Verizon. Since doing that, very strange things are happening. For example, my contacts appeared to transfer without a problem, but whenever I attempt a call to a number that does not have a "1" stored in front of it, it tells me that I am attempting a long-distance or international call and the call won't go thru unless I place a 1 in front of the number and store it that way. Also, whenever I send text messages and someone replies, their message comes back to my phone under the phone number only and not the name that is stored in my contacts. This happens even when the contact sends a direct message to me that is not a reply. (Imagine all the "Merry Christmas" messages I received yesterday that I have no idea who they were from, except the 5 out of 300 contacts whose numbers I have memorized!!) I have gone to the Apple Store and the "Genius" there reset my phone, which temporarily fixed the problem, but now it is back. I did a soft reset, now it randomly selects which names will show up in my text message window. (For example, yesterday, the name "Jane" shows a message that says "Merry Christmas", but after the reset, only Jane's number shows up in the text screen with the same message from yesterday.)
Does anyone know what in the world is going on?? This is Very Annoying! I'm tempted to go back to AT&T, as I am being told that the iphone technology, even for 4S, is not as compatible on Verizon as it is with AT&T. Please help!

Not sure about the random contact name problem. I suspect a bad database. Use iTunes to delete and replace your contacts with a good list. If that doesn't work, do a 100% software reset and don't restore a backup, setup as a new device. Finally, if that fails go back to the apple store. The issue is not software fixable and the unit should be replaced.
The other issue with 1 dialing required... are you roaming? Disable wifi, should say Verizon 3G in the status bar.
When you are off your home area cell network, you are not dealing with Verizon directly.
Edit: your last question about using a Verizon 4S on AT&T's network. You are correct, out of the box the Verizon 4S is locked to only work on Verizon's network. The AT&T 4S and Sprint 4S have the same locks. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone directly from apple. I've also heard of people convincing Sprint customer service to unlock their phones for use out of the country,

I cannot see all mobile phone numbers in Messages after upgrade to iOS 6

I have two mobile number entries for most of my contacts, for example:
+853 1234 5678
0060 853 1234 5678
The first entry is for dialing the mobile number when I am overseas, and need to use the international prefix "+". I also use this for sending SMS messages or iMessage.
The second entry is pre-entered to use 0060 as the international prefix when dialling long distance from my home country; this enables me to enjoy lower long-distance rates.
I have since upgraded to iOS 6, and now have a major problem. When I go into Messages and start a new message, I cannot select the number "+853 1234 5678" to send my message. It only shows "0060 853 1234 5678", and of course, this cannot be used to send messages. This seems to me that iOS 6 is not distinguishing the above two entries as two unique numbers. In other words, the "prefix" does not count. However, if I change the "0060 853 1234 5678" to "0060 853 1234 6787", then I can see both numbers in Messages (since then, both numbers are unique).
I have since found out through trial and error that if I list the numbers in my contacts page in the reverse order, that is:
0060 853 1234 5678 and then
+853 1234 5678
then, I can see +853 1234 5678 but not the first entry. It seems that the first entry in the contact list is overriden by subsequent entries of the same mobile number.
This was not a probem in iOS 5. Any fix for this matter in iOS 6?

tanks for ur help. it is sms. I have contacted my service providers and they said there is no issue with my messages. so I believe something is wrong with the fone.

New iPhone 5s/iOs7 Won't Send Text Messages to 4s/iOs 6.1

Hello,
My husband got a new iPhone 5s (iOs7) yesterday and when he sends a text message to my 4s (iOs 6.1), I don't get it. On his screen, the texts from him are blue. If he holds down the message and sends as text, I get them, and on my screen they are white.
I did do a bit of research and tried resetting the network settings and turning on SMS but it didn't work at all.
Can anyone give me a hand please? The poor man has been dealing with a belligerent, messed up Android phone for months, waiting to get this iPhone and now we can't text each other :-P Is this something we will have to live with until Apple fixes it?
Thank you,
Gina

So strange. I receive texts in established chat threads but if I try to start a new conversation, it gets bounced back as "not delivered". I'm facing a future when I may have to revert to talking to people on the phone again. Help. Please.
Which type of messages are you having a problem with, iMessages (blue) or SMS (green)? Or both?

How do I retrieve my recent calls and recent text messages after I restored the settings

How do I retrieve my recent call log and recent text messages after I had to restore the settings?

If they were in your most recent back up and you restore your phone to that back up, you'll get them back. If they're not in the back up, there's no way to get them back.

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
