My phone isn't connecting to 3G and I can't send or receive phone calls or texts.

So my phone just stopped being able to connect to 3G and stopped being able to send and receive phone calls and texts. It was working fine this morning and it shows that I have multiple bars "dots" but my 3G is reading 1x and says I can't make a connection. What should I do?

If you have looked where James suggested and you are saying that the phone number does not appear in there at all, you can add the phone number to the iPad but you may need to sign out of Messages on the iPad AND the iPhone.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:

Phone Unable to Send or Receive Phone Calls

I searched around, there was a similar issue in January, but with texts. Looks like it was resolved. I have an iPhone here that when calls are made, it hangs up before the call can be established. And the user is unable to receive any calls. Text and e-mail work fine.
* Rebooted the phone
* Backed up and Restored the phone
* Swapped SIM cards with my iPhone, no change
Our rep said that he should be able to go to the Apple store and get it replaced, despite the fact that he's on our business account. I just wanted to post here and see if it's another firmware bug, or if something happened with the phone itself.

Has the person gone to ATT for a new SIM? Has ATT been contacted to see if there is a voice issue with that particular account?
If neither of the above solves the issue, the next step is an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

HT1976 When I'm using LTE on iPhone 5 I do not receive phone calls or text messages. How come??

When I'm using phone in LTE vs 4G I do not receive messages or phone call/voice mail. Why is this happening and why have LTE if you can't use your phone in full capacity. Do I need to switch over from one to the other and what is LTE for?

Where did you get it? If the phone is supposed to work on LTE and doesn't, you should see about getting it fixed. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store. They'll be able to tell you if it's the right phone and, if so, what to do next. Seems kind of silly to have a phone that should be working on 4G LTE and, instead of trying to get it fixed, just turining that off. However, that's just my opinion.

Unable to make or receive phone calls on iPhone 3G

I just returned from traveling; during my trip, the phone started searching for a network, which it has never done repeatedly, like it is now. Since yesterday I have not been able to receive or make calls! Very frustrating, esp. since I was traveling into a volatile weather situation. At any rate, internet, text messaging and email are working fine. HELP!

I've had my X since Sept 2010 but over the past 48 hours or so I have been unable to make or receive phone calls. I can dial out but I hear nothing even though it shows that my call is connected-the person on the other end cannot hear me but their phone does ring and they answer but then there's nothing. My phone will ring when someone calls but when I answer it again there is nothing there for me or the caller. I can text, play games, surf the internet ect... basically everything is working fine except the ability to actually use the X as a phone......any thoughts out there before I have to go hang out in the Verizon store for a few hours to get it figured out? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Can't receive phone calls or texts

Hi everyone. I'm using an iPhone 4S and just opened verizon yesterday. However, I'm not able to receive phone calls or texts, but I'm able to call and text other people and access the web. I already reseted my network settings, triple checked that i'm not forwarding my calls anywhere, and my blocklist is empty. I also put the airplane mode on and off as some threads suggested but it didn't resolve it. It also can't be about bad signal because I live downtown in one of the biggest cities in this country and my signal is flawless.
All help is appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

To anyone facing the identical problem, the solution for me was that my previous operator (I transferred my number from T-mobile) had not fully given up their part on the deal. So I went to verizon store, they called T-mobile and got it sorted out. The situation was that any incoming call/text went to my sim-card which was still under t-mobile, and all outgoing calls/texts that i was making came through my verizon phone which was registered for this number. So, maybe this will solve it for you too if you have this problem.

My husband and I shared the same apple id I accidentally deleted his number from the iCloud And now his phone won't receive phone calls or text what do I do

In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

Unable to make or receive phone calls; searching for service.

Last night my iPhone 4 started constantly searching for service. I would get full bars in 3G then go to searching, no service, then back to full bars. It does this constantly. My battery drained by 50% within an hour. Any call I try to make instantly drops; I can't receive phone calls (or voicemails) and I can't send or receive texts unless I'm in WiFi. This just started last night. Any help?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Since updating to 7.0 on my iPhone 5S I am not receiving phone calls, but can receive text messages.

Since updating my iPhone 5S to 7.0 I can't receive phone calls, but can receive texts. Why?

double check settings - do not disturb - off

I have a data connection but I can't make or receive phone calls or texts

I have a 3G data connection on my iPhone 5 at home, but I can't make or receive phone calls or messages.. I can surf the Internet though. I talked to a sprint representative and we went over everything and couldn't figure it out. Can some one plz help with this issue???

Phone and messages is a carrier issue. Sprint needs to check your account to make sure it is set up correctly. If everything looks good on their end, then do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try it.

IPhone 5 and Yosemite, can not send or receive phone calls on Mac

I have latest software on iPhone 5 and Yosemite and an update on cloud, still no phone calls are displaying on my mac or txt msgs... am I missing a step? Can only users who also have iPhones with Facetime only contact me via my computer?

Hi ravanarrowood,
I had similar problems at the beginning. Bluetooth were switched on on both devices but the hands off was not working. Later I realized that iOS 8.1 was already released but my iPhone did not even notify me. Then I restored the iPhone connecting it to iTunes, installed iOS 8.1 and only after that bluetooth starting working properly and I could manage to pair both devices.
For text messages, try going to Messages --> Preferences --> Accounts --> iCloud account
You can be reached for messages at ... Add your cell phone number if it is not there already.
I could manage to receive the messages from my Mac with these settings. But still the messages are not syncing across devices but I am just receiving them from both devices. I delete a message from my iPhone in the morning and in the afternoon I re-receive it from my Mac. Interesting..

I cannot send nor receive emails. The message I get is that I need to type in my account password which I've done but still unable to send or receive. I get texts fine

My Iphone 4 is new, and I have been able to send and receive texts, but cannot send nor receive emails. I get the message that I need to input my password for my yahoo account which I've done many times. When I type messagefor outgoing it only allows me to save as a draft. Any ideas?

Are you positive you're typing the correct password in? You might want to try and reset your password, and try again. You'll get texts because it isn't connected to your email account.
