IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance!

First, who really cares what you do? I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either. Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
Second, this is a user to user technical support forum. I saw a lot of whine here, not a question. What is your technical support question?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

IPhone fails receiving calls and text messages

Hi everyone, here is my problem.
I have an iPhone 4 32GB. It was on iOs 5.1 (always worked perfectly) untill few days ago I have upgraded to iOs 7.1.
The problem after the upgrade is that phone calls or sms messages fails to be received. Strange thing is I can receive at times calls from cellphones, but I don't receive calls from land line numbers. And text messages arrive all at once after hours.
I have restored the phone in DFU mode twice, set up as new phone , tried a hard reset, network reset... nothing worked. It still fails to receive phone calls and sms messages.
Before you ask, the "don't disturb" is disabled.
I live in Italy and have a contract with TIM, i spoke with their cistomer service and according to them there's nothing more i can do on my end.
Any idea?
Thanks

How do I shut off receiving phone and text messages when I a out of the country but instill want to send and receive emails emails

How do I shut off receiving phone and text messages when I am out of the country. I still want to be able to email and receive email on wifi

Enable Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through. The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card.
Try this and see if it helps: turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes. Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

My iPhone no longer gives me audible alerts for email and text messages. Just stopped. Help.

My iPhone just stopped giving me audible notifications for email and text messages. It still rings for calls. I have checked the settings for "Sounds" and they have not changed. However, in these settings when I try to change the sound I get only the vibration and not the sample sound. Can anyone help?

Cannot Receive Calls and Text Every Morning! Pls Help!!

Hi all,
I am new here. I registered cus i am facing irritating problem with the phone. I dunno if anyone else is facing the same problem.
I cannot receive any calls or sms everyday morning.
My friends told me that it went directly to the voicemail.
However everything back to normal when i make a call out from my phone (basically just need to dail out a number, ppl dun even have to pick up the call!), and it will receive the sms that it missed immediately.
Actually I noticed the fact is that if i dun touch my phone for more than 3 or 4 hours, it went automatically to 'sleep', and it stop receiving calls.....
So now i have to call my landline every morning to active the phone which is so annoying! And my friends went mad too cus they couldn't find me as i was like disappeared.
I don't think its the problem with my carrier cus it all went fine until i updated it in Jan. Its now v5.0.0832.
I have searched other forums and there are some ppl having the similar problem, some said its cus of the "do not disturb" setting, but its no longer exist. So the problem is still unsolved for many others.
Not sure if os 6 is gonna fix it cus there is one personsaid that he still has the prolem although he updated it to 6.
Please please please! Can anyone help me??!! otherwise i may have to get a new phone, i am a bit regret now, i should have bought a iphone4 instead of bb!

This is something you should bring up with your wireless service provider.
Cheers,

Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my photos, contacts, and text messages, i recieved an (-50) error during setup, and i was running the new update of iTunes.

Downloading iOS 5 deleted all my contact, pictures, and texts. I was running the new update of iTunes and i still recieved an error of (-50). Can anyone help with how i can get all my stuff back? Also i just had updated my phone in October and it said the last time i updated 5/18/11 which is not true i am using a PC.

I had the same problem and managed to get all my old contacts back. It was because I synced my contacts toiCloud on the initial setup, but nothing was in there. If you go to settings-iCloud- and turn off contacts, your old contacts should appear!

I downloaded the version 6.1.2 on my iphone 4 after that it couldn't receive calling and can not call and on the iphone compaires te voice : "NO SERVICE"

I downloaded the version 6.1.2 on my iphone 4, after that on the phone compairs the voice : "NO SERVICE", i can connect on internet but i cannot call and cannot receive callings.
How can I resolve the problem?

This phone was purchased direct from apple, so came unlocked. My sim card is from o2 in the UK and the phone works OK when on the o2 network. But when roaming in Europe as I do every weekday the signal consistently drops out and the phone reports "no signal" when in fact there are usually several networks available. I've done a restore and a total reset and it still doesn't work. Any help greatly appreciated.

My Do Not Disturb setting is ON and I am still receiving calls and text notifications... PLEASE HELP!

Help - I have my DND setting ON - yet I am still receiving all notifications, texts, and phone calls from numbers other than my favorites. Please help! Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I have an iphone4, maybe that is the reason?

Had the same question....thanks for the concise and useful answer. Half-as**ed implementation IMO....is it that hard to imagine not wanting to be disturbed while still using the device? I use my iPad for note taking at work all the time....don't need Order and Chaos bells going off at that time. Seems obvious, but *** do I know.
