TS4429 Reset iPhone 5 and now it says "No Service" and something about a SIM card

Help, please! I basically did a factory reset on my iPhone 5 and it says that I have "No Service" - When I view my phone info, there's not even a number for it. The number says "unknown" ***, HELP. It says that I NOW need a SIM card. It's been working fine without a SIM card, before. Why does it say that? Do I insert a SIM card and then take it back out? I mean, my service provider is Alltel. I was not present when my parents bought me the iPhone, I don't know if Alltel put a SIM card in for the setup and then took it out. When I checked the SIM card slot last night, there's NOTHING there. So, how was it even working before? >.>
These are the things I've done to TRY and fix the problem and it hasn't worked:
1. I've reset the network settings, DID NOT WORK
2. I've reset the factory settings (again) to try out different options like backup to iTunes or iCloud and wifi connections, DID NOT WORK
3. I've turned on and off airplane mode, DID NOT WORK
4. I've turned off and on my phone, DID NOT WORK
5. I've tried multiple online Apple Support steps, DID NOT WORK
Help....................

Thanks for your respons,.
I'm facebooking and emailling everyone to contact Alltel for me. My parents, for example, are just NOT understanding what's going on. They're like "The service is paid for, so I don't know why it's messed up." And, I'm like, I KNOW the service is paid for, that's not the problem. The problem is I reset my phone and now it has NO number on it. The number is listed as "unknown" instead of my actual number with digits. So, I'm pretty sure Alltel can put the number back onto my iPhone, right? I mean, this is ridiculous.

I resetted my iphone 5s and now it says device unknown. What should i do?

I havent had service for 2 days now (tmobile), one of the technicians told me to do a reset and so i did but now it says device unknown and directed me to the "Service Answer Center" link. What should I do?

iOS 7 is a developer Beta only, it can only be installed by registered developers, and issues with the beta can only be discussed in the private Developer forums.
If you are not a developer, we can't help you as the forum rules prohibit us from discussing the Beta version issues here, and you forfeited support including help from these forums by installing a beta software not intedned for final users at this time.
There is nothing we can do to help here. You are on your own.

I reset my ipod and now it says "this ipod is currently linked to an apple id. sign in with the apple id that was used to set up this ipod".

ok. my ipod touch 5th generation 32gb spontaneously showed me the plug to itunes simbol, so i did, and i had to reset it to factory mode. done. when i start to set it up, it asks me for an apple id used to set it up, the thing is, this apple id was created by my smaller brother at the apple store, and he does not remember the password, neither the apple id, or the security questions, or the data he gave the apple guy who was helping him. basically, i have no idea what this account is. all i know is he affirms the apple id is [email protected] thats al i got. so, is there a way to get trough this? can i go to an apple support center and get the ipod set up? is it useless now? please help me!

If he doesn't remember the password or the Security Questions, he will have to contact Apple Support to have the Security Questions reset so the password can be reset:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

I lost my handset (iphone 4s) and now have a replacement but when I try to restore from icloud I get a message saying 'cannot load backups'. Can anyone help?

Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

I restared my Iphone 4s and now my photo's are gone. They are just grey with JPG in it.
How do i get my photo's back? And why are they grey?
Any help would be nice.
Thank you.

Restarting your phone doesn't cause it to grey out.
Were you restoring from an icloud backup? IF so, it does take awhile for pictures to download.

iPhones require a SIM for activation.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.
