Just arrived in London, iPhone says "No Service"
I just flew into London and my iPhone says "no service". I am at Heathrow. I am on a corporate account and I was told we have an international plan. Do I need a separate sim card for Europe? Help.
P.S. I have not updated with 2.1 yet. I usually sync with my desktop at home. Can I update with my laptop? and should I?

There's a one time charge (rip off!) of $1.29 that goes with it. Without this, you will see the NO SERVICE status on your iPhone if you are abroad with the hope of roaming on other GSM networks. Defeats the purpose of having a GSM phone doesnt it? Pfft!
GSM does not guarantee roaming. GSM is simply a set of features.
As for the whopping $1.29, it would seem if you can afford the airfare that should not be a problem.

I've just arrived in London with my G4 iPhone an can connect to service. How do I connect?
Need answers to a couple of questions...is your phone officially unlocked? If so, did you purchase a sim from a supported local carrier to use in your phone? If not officially unlocked, did you get International Provisioning activated for your account before you left for your trip(pick a plan & carrier)?

What is wrong with my phone please help as this s 1st time I've experienced it
Has your phone been Jailbroken or Modified or Hacked...
Unauthorized modification of iOS

If not... Take it to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) for evaluation...
If it has... You will need to look elsewhere

it means the phone is online but the locational services have been disabled.
if you are trying find my iPhone then go to:
settings>locational services>find my iphone>on
find my iphone is the last option in locational services. -
HT1688 My new iPhone says no service
My new iPhone 5 says no service. I have synced it with iTunes. No what do I do?
I apologise for being negative. once I would have jumped to defend Apple too, but those days are over.
I have spent £600 on a product that I am going to have to sell at a loss of £300, having spent many previous hours trying to get it to work, plus a 70 mile round trip to my nearest apple store. I estimate the lost income and depreciation overall to have cost in excess of £600.
I have tried 4 sim cards on two networks (having moved from the phone network that I'd been on for 20 years in a desperate attempt to find a solution) in 3 iphone 5's, all with the same problem
And the final insult is that Apple no longer bothers to assit me; they don't return my calls or emails; nothing
I love everything else about the phone, so I've just installed the new software version and hope that will fix it. Otherwise my Nexus 4 arrived in the post today, so I will start using that if I get the problem again
I used to love Apple but they have let me down.
My reason for posting on these forums was to warn people that it is not your phone, it is EVERY iphone 5 that has the problem. Therefore don't waste your time getting a replacement.
Sorry for being negative, but that is how I feel! -

Iphone says no service , other phone on same plan works, why ?
My Iphone 3G( no S) all of a sudden says No Service, and will not work to make calls. The other phone I have on the same plan is working fine. I tried to update software on the phone and it says it can not find the server. It has been a while since I updated the software because I seem to always get an error or time expired message. Any thoughts or ideas ?
Thank you !A couple of things can cause this. The SIM may not be seated well, or the phone would need to be reset. If you haven't, turn the iPhone off/on and check. If that doesn't help, then reset the phone. That is accomplished by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the iPhone reboots, try it. If that doesn't help, you may need to do a restore.
If you are having issues with updates and connecting to the server, that can often be explained by your Internet connection. An intermitent, or slow connection can cause this, as well as problems with anti-virus software. You may need to temporarily disable any anti-virus software to complete an update. Issues with a file called "host" on your computer can also cause issues. If you can locate it, open it with a text editor and remove any references to Apple, reboot the computer and try again.
If those don't help, make sure you copy down the exact error message and share that with us and we can see if we can help more. -
My Iphone says No Service then shortly after will turn off then back on.
Ive had this iphone for about 2 years. It is in perfect condition. i was using it all day the day it started messing up. I was taking pictures and i was uploading them to facebook. My facebook became slow and not working right so i restarted my iphone and all of a sudden in the corner it says NO SERVICE. I wasnt really trippen about it because i have a prepaid sim card in it that i havent paid in 2 months or so. But it shortly turned off and turned back on by itself. It was doing that until the battery died all the way. That was when i got kinda scared.
Today i plugged it into Itunes and restored it. it still says no service. but it hasnt turned off yet. Im waiting for it.
Can anyone tell me why its doing this?
PS. I absolutaly have not dropped it in water so it cant be water damage.Hello,
Is it really an iPhone 3G with iOS 5.1? I thought it was no longer supported.
I had that occurred to me before but I restored it from an existing backup and the problem went away. If you could, you can try and upload your crash logs from ios 5+ and see what is causing the restart.
If there is nothing to lose (e.g. Data), then you can see if a full restore (e.g. Set it to factor settings) will help. Below is a link:

I hope this helps but please feel free to wait for others to input. -
I have been using my Iphone 3GS for 3 weeks, no all of sudden it says 'no service". I have taken the sim card out and turned the power off. Nothing works. Anyone help?
You may need to get a new SIM from ATT for the iPhone in order for it to successfully activate in iTunes.
When you first plugged in to iTunes, you should have been prompted to activate the phone. Instead, it sounds like your phone is being recognized as a "Touch" since it let you sync music to it. -
Why is my iPhone saying No Service?
My iPhone suddenly stopped connecting to the Verizon Network. I can only use features via WiFi. It just says Searching and then eventually No Service.
Try rebooting the phone
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears then let both buttons go and wait for the phone to restart. -

I have even reinstalled ios twice and still it does not change the situation. What could have happened. My sim works fine in any other 3g device.

IPhone 4 - "No Service" when outside of United States
I got an Apple iPhone 4 like three weeks ago. It has always had a strong signal no matter where I went in the United States. I just arrived in London Heathrow Airport and my iPhone won't connect to the network. It says "No Service". When I go to Settings, General, Carrier, it is set to Automatic. I then tried to click on all five carrier names listed there, but none work.
What should I do? I need to get online with my iPhone 4 really bad.
By the way... I already tried to reset Network Settings and to turn it off. That didn't work.
Thank you!Wherever you want to use your phone, you pick your plans/carriers after International Provisioning has been activated by AT&T. The number I gave you is their main help number. You need to call that number to get this straightened out. Better yet, try this number +1-916-843-4685(supposed to be a free call you can make on your phone).

IPhone shows 'No Service' other cell 'phones work perfectly
Just the past few days, my iPhone has taken to saying that there is 'No Service'. I know it is not true - just now, for example, it says 'No Service' but somebody a metre away is having a chat on a cell 'phone.
I've tried going to airport mode, then back again, so it searches for a service - this fixed the problem a couple of days ago, but not now - it says 'Searching...' then goes to 'No Service'.
I tried turning it off and turning it on again, but that didn't do anything.
Is there anything I can run to test the receiving hardware/software? Any suggestions on what I should do next??I've found the problem. For some reason the iPhone decided to switch to another service provider. I've put it back to the right one and it's fine.
Now, why would it change that??
