My iphone 4 displays message that it cannot make or receive calls, I have restored it but after awhile the message comes back.....

My iphone occasionally loses service and displays the message "iphone cannot make or receive calls", I have restored it twice and the phone will work for a while but reverts back to losing service and displaying the same message again. Any help?

It sounds like a hardware or AT&T issue. Contact AT&T.

Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

Blackberry Bold 9930- cannot make or receive calls

Please Help!
Woke up this morning and my phone icon was missing on my home screen. It wouldn't be a huge deal, but I also discovered that I cannot make or receive calls. I have had several people try to reach me and they all say it goes straight to voicemail. Even if I try to dial a number and hit send, nothing happens. I have searched all of my folders to see if it was hiding, have reset my theme, taken out the battery, blah, blah, blah. The only thing I have working for me is that both e-mail and text messages are working fine. Please, if anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear asap.

Hello,
I want to make sure you are both able to make calls as normal. Did this occur after installing any new applications or adjusting any settings? Is the device still showing adequate signal strength? Based on the the device still receiving text messages the voice signal is still transmitting to the device. I would like to take a closer look at your account settings. Please send a Direct Message with your name and account information and I can investigate further.
Thank You

Error message Iphone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes

I received this error message - "Iphone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes"
Has anyone received this before & know what the issue is?

If you are restoring from a backup, that's your problem. The backup is corrupt. After you restore, you need to select "Set up as new." You will need to reinstall everything again.

IPhone Cannot Make or Receive Calls - Restore Does Not Fix

Hello,
On my iPhone 4 (not S) I got the "Restore Needed - iPhone cannot make or receives calls" message. I restored the phone, and it worked for about 30 minutes, then got the same message. I read on one of the forums here to try doing "Reset Network Settings" in the General Settings pane, which fixed it for 30 minutes or so again.
Is there anything else to try or should I just head to the Genius Bar? Can you take it to an ATT store for repair/replacement?
Thanks,
Will

Apple handles all hardware/software issues. If you've had the device less than 30 days, you can exchange it at an AT&T store. If you've had it more than 30 days, do not waste your time at an AT&T store, there is nothing they can do for you.
Have you tried a restore as new to see if the problem continues? It is entirely possible that the issue is something specific to the backup or a corrupted file/setting in the backup.

Iphone cannot make or receive calls

hello. my iphone 4 is not connecting to sim card and sign SEARCHING is still remaing on the left side where the carrier shows and also shows a massages when i restart it that restore needed iphone cannot make or receive calls what should i do ?

If you are getting a message the iPhone needs to be restored with iTunes, this means there is a major problem. Have you restored the iPhone with iTunes on your computer?

Iphone cannot make or receive calls check itunes for update

iphone cannot make or receive calls check itunes for update, i received t hat message on my iphone 4 since the new update 4.3.5

"Repair needed, iPhone cannot make or receive calls"

so i walked back over to my table and saw it looked like i had a text that just came it and it was this message that said "Repair needed, iPhone cannot make or receive calls". no service, restarted the phone and its all good now.
fluke or do i need to be calling apple?
going to an apple store isnt exactly easy for me now (nearest one is an hour away, after aug 11 ill be really close to one though)
the threads i found via search on this were either no answers or just "restore it and if it happens again call apple".
i do have a habit of getting dud phones every time i get a cell phone (first razr needed to be replaced right out of the box, first gen iphone the home button wore out in 4 weeks so i was kind of hoping 3rd time would be the charm, not sure though)
thanks

This same thing happened to me last night. Same error and when I tried to restore I kept getting the 1604 error. I was working and it happened around 11:00pm. I setup an appointment with the 5th Ave. store in NYC for 2:10am. I get there and one guy tells me it will be covered under my warranty. The "genius" tells me something is caught in the headphone jack and that they can't get the spill detector in there to verify if it's spill damage and that I'm up the creek. So, $199 for a 1st gen 8GB or $199 for a new 8GB 3G. I'm really upset about this as I didn't have a working phone and that's not very conducive to my line of work and I'm told I yet again need to spend more money. There was nothing I could do and they wouldn't budge I ended up getting a new 16GB White 3G today, but I'm not happy with this outcome. The new phone is nice, but I really thought long and hard about sticking with my original iPhone till next year. I hope that you outcome is much brighter At least I didn't have to wait in line today. I walked right into the 14th St. store and they said they had 2 16GB's if I was interested in one and I took it.
That's my story.
Best,
J

No 3g\wifi - Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls.

Just started getting this message on an IPAD:
"Repair needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Contact Apple at www.apple.com/service."
3g and wifi is not working. The ipad has only been connected to itunes once when the device was set up so I'm worried about losing everything.
I've looked online a bit and found a bunch of users with this issue on their iphone but couldn't find many ipad users with the issue. It sounds like the only way to make it work is to "restore" it or get a new one. "restore" means factory reset? Will I be able to back up everything first?
I may try upgrading the device to ios 4 first.
Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to fix it?

Strangely it started working on it's own after a few days. Then I connected it to itunes, created a backup, and upgraded to 3.22. Of course it quit working on vacation then started working again when I was on my way home. I guess I better bring my laptop next time in case it acts up again. Too bad ipad and iphones are tied down and require a PC.

I cannot make or receive calls or messages

I recently purchased my iphone and when I first installed my sim it worked - was able to make and receive calls.
Since then I have been adding applications, songs etc and generally played around with the phone.
Now I have discovered I cannot make or receive calls or text messages.
I think I may have done something accidently.
Have tried all the suggestions on the apple site but still no luck.
Can anybody offer any other suggestions.
Thanks.

Did you check if you set your iPhone to Flight Mode by mistake? If you did, he will only work as an iPod, no calls or messaging.
If you did the above, just set it back to normal, you will need to access settings on your iPhone, it is easy to check.

My iPhone cannot make or receive calls. I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work. I do not want to delete all of my contacts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode. I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing. This is beyond silly.
