IPhone stuck at emergency call screen!

Hi everyone!
My iPhone stuck at the 'emergency call' screen. I restored it and at the end I had to 'activate' the phone... But when I try to activate it (connect to iTunes) iTunes
gives me a message: ...The Network connection is timed out... Please try again later. But I can open the iTunes Store and download apps and music, and the Network is in order... Anyone knows what to do? Or how to 'activate' the iPhone without iTunes?
Please Help!

You can't activate your phone without itunes. The most common reasons for the network timed out error during a restore or software upgrade are firewalls, anti-virus & anti-malware. So, turn off or disable all of that stuff, especially windows firewall & try again.

GS111 stuck in "emergency call" screen"

I did not initiate a call and cannot do anything

Here's a suggestion that I made in:
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/784711
It could be two causes.
1. It's the "real" emergency call screen that is stuck and you may need for Verizon to reactivate your phone and possibly a new SIM.
2. It's just a lock screen that says "Emergency Call" at at the bottom. It's waiting for you to unlock it with a PIN/Unlock code.
The OP never replied back so I don't know if either worked.

Iphone 3G stuck in Emergency Call Screen

I have an imac, ipad2, two iphone3GS, and recently my sis came down to india from NZ with an iPhone3G, which is not working.
I put in the SIM card. After putting it on, it takes me to the Apple logo with the iTunes connector image. Also iTunes does not detect this iPhone3G, whilst it detects all my other apple devices.
Have tried it even on Windows based iTunes, no luck.
Can you help us find a solution to this problem?

This was solved! What we had to do is go to the admin consule of the exchange server and delete the mobile device from the user account. Once that was done, we re-added the exchange account to the iPhone 3G and it took the password. Case closed.

My iphone 2g was stuck in emergency call. What would I do?

I have my iphone 2g and i forgot the psscode so i connect it to itunes and then restore it. After restoring it, it was stuck in emergency call screen and it said to connect on itunes. When I connect it to itunes there is a message saying that the sim card is not valid. It was confusing beacause the sim card I inserted is the simcard I'm using. What I gonna Do?

Is the iPhone locked to a carrier?
Are you using the correct sim card for that carrier?
Is the iPhone unlocked, if it is then do you get it unlocked by the carrier it was locked to?
Was the iPhone Jailbroken?
Any visible damage to the sim or sim card tray?

How do I get past the Emergency call screen iphone 5 ios 6

I upgraded my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now I can't get past the Emergency call screen.
I try to hook it into my computer with iTunes but it says I need to unlock the phone with my password but I can't find anywhere to do that.
I tried the reset but that didn't help.

There should be a Black Button with a White Arrow pointing left at the Bottom of the screen.

HT201413 phone is stuck in emergency call only mode how do i fix this

my phone is stuck in emergency call only mode

Hi, bit75.
Thank you visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like your device may be disabled and can only make emergency calls. Here is the article that I would recommend going through if this is the case.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

Tried to sync to new itunes and now my phone is stuck in emergency call mod

Okay, Ive tried for hours and need help! I tried to update my 3G to the new itunes. Since then doing so, im getting an error message that reads "We cannot complete your iTunes store request. The network connection times out." I trouble shooted and followed all the prompts it said to fix the issue, have unplugged and restarted, and now the only thing the stupid phone does is give me the "emergency call" screen! I set it to factory settings before downloading the new software.. Haven't seen another screen for hours! I'm getting frustrated.. Any thoughts? Someone? Please!!!

You should try to put the phone into Recovery Mode so that iTunes can restore it.
1. First, make sure that your computer has an active internet connection (you can open the iTunes Music Store and make sure you can navigate around as a way to check your internet connection).
2. Turn the phone off (hold the top button until the slider appears, then drag the slider).
3. Hold down the Home (round) button while you connect the USB cable to the iPhone. The USB cable should be connected directly to a good USB port on your computer, not on a USB hub, monitor, or keyboard.
4. Continue to hold the Home button down until the Recovery Mode screen appears (it looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/mhsje5 )
5. When you see that screen, release the Home button.
iTunes should tell you that it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode and that you must restore it.
iTunes will probably give you the option to set it up as a new phone or restore it from a backup. Choose setting it up as a new phone.

,Emergency call screen can call any number?

Is the Emergency call screen in your Iphone supposed to be only to call 911??? because on my phone, when I use the emergency call screen, it can call any number I want.
Does it happen to you too???
Message was edited by: PATRICIO_NY

from there my question was, is it supposed to be only to call 911,
I know exactly what you meant and what your question is, and the answer is no.
You can call any number from the emergency call selection.
And as I already provided, I want it this way. If I was in dire straights and I was able to place a call and I can only dial 911 and there is no answer at that particular time or lines are busy (which can occur), I want the ability to dial any number, not just 911, and the same for anyone that is with me if I'm unable to place a call and my iPhone is the only cell phone available.
If my iPhone was lost or stolen, I would call AT&T first to have my iPhone's SIM card disabled. Someone that finds or steals my iPhone makes a few calls in the interim before my iPhone's SIM card is disabled by AT&T, so what? I have a calling plan and a rollover minutes credit.

No Service then Emergency Call screen?

This all started back about a month ago, my iPhone 4 ended up having No Service. I was connected to a WIFI connection at the time so I checked on the Internet on the phone to see if there was any method to resolving the No Service issue, people said to use the Airplane Mode, did that didn't work. Then I tried turning it off and turning it back on. Didn't work there was 3G for like 10 seconds then it went to two bars than it went to one bar than No Service again. I turned it off again and turned it back on, this time it sent me to an Emergency Call screen which it then said No Service and slide to Emergency Call. I clicked on the little I in the corner and it said UNKNOWN and UNKNOWN under IMEI. So I turned the phone off then tried a different area, finally it sent me back to the Home screen and I was able to received 3G service for a while until like an hour later than my phone was sitting on my desk out of no where my iPhone pops up and says "You have No Service Please restore from iTunes" or something between those words.
So I hooked it up to my computer and restored my phone from a previous backup, it semed to work perfectly fine but that was just the beginning of my problems. Around recently about Friday the 13th, I got the No Service issue again, I did the turning the phone off and turned it back on. This really annoyed me since I was beginning to get very upset that this No Service issue was happening to me, I was near someone who had an iPhone 4 as well I asked them if they were having issues they said they weren't. I'm using AT&T BTW, so I did the turning on and off again. I ended up getting the Emergency Call screen again and it said No Service. So I kept turning it back on and off 70% of the time it was the Emergency Call screen and the other 30% was the Home screen but then within seconds it would go to No Service again.
So I moved to a different location (another part of town) and I got the 3G signal but then soon after I recieved No Service again. This issue went on and off and it was getting worse and worse by the day. Saturday the 14th, that morning I was using the phone to call someone half way through it cut out, No Service this was the day when it just stopped working for me. I ignored it and woke up 7 hours later I then used Skype on the phone WIFI connection worked but then saw I had No Service I turned it off and turned it back on. Emergency Call again, so it brought me back to the Home screen, this was the last time I would be seeing my Home screen. No Service again, turned it off and it brought me to the Emergency Call screen again, turned it off and turned it back on, EC screen again. It turned it off and turned it back on.
At this point I'm thinking to myself my iPhone is dead, so someone tells me to try to restore it. I hooked my iPhone to my Mac, it said "Waiting for iPhone" to sync I suppose. Then it says unable to sync Brandon's iPhone please restore, so I restored it, then it seemed the restore process went fine, but when the phone restarted it took me back to the Emergency Call screen. So is my phone pretty much dead? I hope this long descriptive discussion post is some help so if anyone else has gone into this problem or knows if a solution. Do I need to take my phone back and it get replaced?

I had the same problem. After the firmware update, iTunes claimed that it couldn't complete the phone registration. I traced it to an SSL web proxy, which confused iTunes (it couldn't handle the SSL man-in-the middle). A normal web browser will show a dialog stating that the SSL cert is invalid, and will give you an opportunity to accept it. iTunes doesn't gracefully handle this situation. Once I bypassed the SSL web proxy, iTunes synced up successfully.

Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

Pantech Marauder entered emergency call screen

I just received this phone and set it up last night. It worked fine for a few hours and then entered an emergency call screen and will not return to the home screen despite rebooting and even battery removal. My Verizon site still recognizes the device. Thanks for any help you can give!

Melindaat823, let's get you back to enjoying your new phone. Please remove the SIM card for a few seconds and re-insert http://vz.to/16Yod9J. This should force the phone to reactivate. Let me know if you need further assistance.
