IPhone 4S says "No Service"?

I reset iPhone settings.
I reset iPhone network settings.
I took out SIM card to see if it's fine.
I switched it with my sister to see if it worked, and it did.
It still says "NO SERVICE" or "Searching..."
Any ideas what I can do to fix it?

The first thing you should do is contact your carrier.

My Iphone 4 says "No Service"

My Iphone 4 says "No Service" I've sleep and away, rebooted, restarted network setting, taken the sim card out.. what else can I do? or do you think it is a hardware issue and I have to go to apple?

It very well could be a problem with your carrier. But try turning the phone off and on and even take out the sim card. Then put the sim card back in and power it up again.

IPhone 5 says "No Service" after unlock

Hello,
I recently bought a secondhand iPhone 5 from my girlfriend which was locked to the Vodafone UK network. I'm currently with Virgin Mobile UK so I looked into getting the iPhone unlocked to use with my current SIM.
I came across a seller on eBay who unlocks iPhones and has very good reviews, so I purchased an unlock request through them. Yesterday morning I received a message from the seller informing me that the iPhone was ready to be unlocked and gave me instructions on how to complete the process.
When I connected the iPhone to iTunes, I was greeted with the "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked" message. However, when it comes to inserting a SIM from a different network, it just says "No Service" in the top left of the screen.
I've seen quite a number of threads about this issue and I've tried several different methods of resolving it. I have tried:
Trying multiple SIM cards (it will work with the Vodafone SIM I have but not with ones for other networks)
Toggling Airplane Mode on/off
Resetting the network settings
Erased all content and settings
Restored the iPhone via iTunes (iTunes is up-to-date)
I'm quite stuck on what to do now. I've contacted the seller who's assured me that the phone is unlocked and send me a "GSX Report" (whatever that is). Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Just wanted to give an update on this for those who may be experiencing the same problem.
I spoke to someone from Apple a few days ago who tried to help me resolve this. They confirmed that the phone was unlocked. After going through some of the fixes I've tried already, they suggested it may be a problem with the SIM cards I was using and recommended getting a brand new one to try.
I got my new nano SIM through from Virgin Mobile yesterday, transferred my number and contract across and now it's all working perfectly.
I'm not really sure why people on here were so reluctant to give me advice on what to do. When I told Apple that I got the iPhone unlocked through an eBay retailer, they didn't question it at all. They said nothing about it being hacked or that I should have gone through the carrier, and they assured me that the phone was completely unlocked.
Oh well. I'm glad it's working now. Thanks Apple!

Iphone 5 says no service even if sim installed or not installed please help

My iphone 5 running ios 8.1 says no service even if sim is installed or not installed. normally iphones say no sim when sim tray is out or empty but it says no service.I ve tried to reset network settings put on airplane mode but still the problem persists please help

In order until the problem is resolved:
Remove the current sim, clean the contacts, re-install the sim.
Take the iPhone to your wireless provider to get a new sim installed.
Take the iPhone to a physical Apple store for evaluation. Make a Genius
Bar appointment beforehand to avoid delay.
Make a Genius Bar Reservation

My IPhone 4S says No Service in the top left hand corner

Why is my phone saying no service in the top left
Hand corner ?
I just purchased this phone last Monday it worked grate
Then then it all of a sudden stated no service in the
Top left corner I'm not pleased

That could be loss of service from the carrier, or possible switching off of the iPhone cellular service or failiure in the iPhone itself. Go to Settings > General > Cellular and see that it is switched ON.
See also that Settings > Airplane Mode is switched OFF.
If both are correct, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
If that doesn't help, then you need to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar to have the techs test the iPhone for failure.

Factory Unlocked GSM iPhone 5 SAYS NO SERVICE !

This is extremely depressing.I was in the US recently ,I purchased a FACTORY UNLOCKED iPhone 5 for 700 Dollars.I used it with a 50 dollar AT&T Sim Card for about a month.I'm back to my home country now (Pakistan).When I inserted a Nano-Sim from a local carrier the iPhone lost the signal and now says No-Service. This is just frustrating and horrible ,I feel Crying !
1-I checked the IMEI from various sites confirming the Factory Unlock.
2-I checked the receipt that Apple gave me which also SAYS THAT it is Unlocked
3-I restarted the Phone
4-Reset all settings and tried to activate it again with this local sim.It activated FINE but still No service.Turned Air-plane mode on and off but nothing.
5-I used the "manual search" option in carriers and it shows my carrier "ufone" but IT STILL GIVES NO SERVICE WHEN I SELECT the carrier.
6-I'm really depressed as I cannot go back to the US and take it to an Apple store.This is just terrible.
7-I'm on iOS 6.0.1.
8-PLEASE HELP.

Hello jongriff1983,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Remove the SIM card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About while connected to a Wi-Fi network. If an update is available, a prompt should appear soon. If Wi-Fi is not available, connect your device to iTunes.
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Restore the iPhone.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause this issue.
Best of luck,
Mario

Iphone 3gs says no service

Even after powercycling repeatedly, resetting network settings, resetting all settings and replacing SIM card, my iphone 3GS still says No Service.

Here's what you do
1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
     a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
     b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
     c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
You're welcome

IPhone 3gs says no service and cannot activate it.

I am trying to activate my iPhone 3gs and it says 'No Service' and when connected to iTunes it says that there is no sim card installed. I think it is on i.o.s 5 but not entirely sure as i bought it off of eBay and fixed it.
When i try to activate it on wi-fi it says the activation server is currently down.
Thanks for any advice you could give me on how to get it working

IPhone 4S says NO SERVICE but able to make calls

I've had my iPhone 4S several days. When just looking at the phone it can go from 3 bars service, to no service, then it takes a few minutes to pick signal back up.
Secondly i've noticed that when im on a call.. obviously i start with signal, but then during the call the phone (top left corner) will say NO SERVICE, but i can still carry on with my call, so i clearly do have signal.
Anything i can do about this?? Or any ideas??

Haven't seen that issue yet but you could try doing a hard reset (hold down the power and home button together for 15s) or resetting network settings (settings > general > reset > reset network settings)
also does it show you as having good service where your at or have you had issues like this before
