IPhone can't receive calls...

I just purchased/activated my iPhone this morning. It is able to make calls and send/receive text messages.
The problem? Whenever I call my phone, or have my friends call it, we all get this error message: "The number or code you dialed is incorrect"
It's been around 3 1/2 hours since it was activated. I called AT&T, they told me to dial 611 on my iPhone. Guess what, the people at 611 are off today!
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

Garrett Lexell1,
I held down the on/off button and the home button until the Apple logo appeared...that's a reset.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

IPHONE 5: can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network." This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off. ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc. No changes. Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier. Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet. Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?

I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

URGENT: iphone 4 hang, can't power down, can't receive calls, can't do anything

I've been using my iphone 4 for more since I got it when it came out 1.5 yrs ago with hardly any problems.
I updated to OS5 few weeks back and was totally Ok until today, I started my gmail, and the phone froze and the swirling symbol is going next to my full WiFi Access and ATT 2 bars signal strength.
It's been more than 30 mnts, and can't receive calls, can't power it down, and nothing I pressed or did seems to affect the device.
What do I do?

Well, first, you can't revert back to OS 4.x, and second, a search of the forum will quickly show you that this could happen with 4.x, 3.x, 2.x and ever the original iPhone Classic.
And don't think of the iPhone as a phone; it's a very powerful pocket sized computer that can also make phone calls. And it can suffer all of the things that happen to any computer, like the Windows Blue Screen of Death and the Mac OS X kernel panic (which is what happened). It happens when memory gets full (RAM, not storage) or when one app steps on the memory of another. You can minimize the chance of it happening by turning the phone off occasionally, which shuts down all of the apps.

Can't receive calls on locked iphone after 2.0.1 update

since i updated my original iphone from 1.4 to 2.0.1 firmware, i have the following problem: when the iphone is in use, it receives calls just fine. but once the phone is locked (that is, the screen is black), all of a sudden it can't receive calls anymore. it does not ring or vibrate. only after it is unlocked again, i get a "missed calls..." message. any ideas?

Actually, it appears there is an issue with 7.1.1 which a lot of us are experiencing. See here:

My iPhone 5 has lost network coverage. Wifi is still ok just can't receive calls or text messages (iMessages are ok though? ). I've re set network settings but that hasn't helped.

Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
1. Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
2. Restart your iPhone.
3. Ensure that your software is up to date:
          - Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
          - Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update. Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
4. Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.

9. Contact your carrier to:
          - Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
          - Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
          - Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
Thanks,

Hi softwater,
Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't looked into Carbon Copy Cloner previously, I'll check it out.
I'll see what I can do about getting to a store. I've only just had the MBP13 get a logic board replacement, for which it had to be in store for a week, so I'll have to make plans to move data around so I can keep working while it's out of action.
I won't be able to take it to a store for at least another week, so if anyone else has an (unlikely) solution in the meantime I'd be very appreciative!
Thanks

If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice if someones using my apple id??

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

HT2527 iphone locked after receiving call

My iphone locked after receiving call. On screen only appears busy alert.

Hi tavaresjx,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

the screen on my smart phone is broken, it still works, I can here my received text sound. Can I receive calls on my tablet or pc?

IF you have installed/activated Verizon Message+ on your phone, then yes you can. If not, you are out of luck.
If they are iMessages on an iPhone, you could log into your iMessage account on an Apple computer to read the iMessages, but would be unable to view SMS/MMS.

Can't receive calls when I'm on Internet

I can't receive calls when I'm on either Youtube or safari. At least this is what I have checked so far. When people call when I'm online, they don't even get the voicemail. What must be wrong?

Stay tuned: Others will chime in here soon--> Basilon is mistaken. The iPhone (currently) is simply not able to receive calls while actively on the internet via the edge network. The call will go directly to voice mail in that scenario.
Allan's post is correct (you can take take his posts to the bank ;)).
Basilon might have experienced a call come through when he was looking at a page that already downloaded (Don't even know if that's possible.)
*Your calls Not even going to voice mail (OP) is a problem. It should do that.*

I just installed ios 8 update and now my email won't open and I can't receive calls. All of my apps have been updated. How can I fix this?

I have an iphone 5 and I just installed the latest ios update and now I can't open my email app and I can't receive calls. All of my apps have been updated. How can I fix this?

Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

Ios5.0.1, can't receive calls, can't end call, can't take video!!!!!

After installed ios5.0.1, can't receive calls, can't end call, can't take video!! The screen become frozen! Any help please? Thx!

How about going to a corporate store and see if they will let you put your SIM card in a display model. Your number will transfer over with the SIM card. Then if you call your number from your wife's phone or one of store landline phones and the call goes through, you have ruled out the SIM card being the problem.
You don't have the phone number set to automatically forward to the voicemail, do you?

I can't receive calls

I bought a Noki 2760 mobile phone yesterday.
I can't receive calls. I believe I have closed the loudspeakers or shutdown receving calls.
I can call you and I can send SMS to you.
I tried in vain to solve the problem.
I have downloaded the English manual too.
Please help me to fix the problem.

Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
Given your description, I believe your suspicion is correct -- something wrong with the account tied to the SIM that is not working. I suggest contacting your carrier for assistance.
Cheers.
