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.

Restore needed iPhone cannot make or receive calls....help needed

Following an upgrade to IOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3 GS keeps on wanting a 'restore needed IPhone cannot make or receive calls restore from Itunes etc... I have done 2 restores and problem still occurs. Need some help, thankyou

Take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

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.

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.

"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

IPad says "iPhone cannot make or receive calls", iPad says "iPhone cannot make or receive calls"

I was using my iPad 2 this morning and it suddenly came up with the error "iPhone cannot make or receie calls". Please note this is an iPad2 NOT an iPhone. After this I cannot use the 3G data conection everything else is fine. Whats gone wrong?
Mike

Strange indeed.
To fix the 3G issue try the following:
Turn on airplane mode for about 10 seconds then back off.
Power off iPad then back on.
Reset network settings.

"Restore Needed - iphone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" warning

I received this warning. Any help would be great. I'd do the restore but I'm loosing everything then.

I have the exact same thing and already restored the device multiple times but every time it just happens again. Both a clean install and an install of a backup results every time in the same message as in the picture underneath. This is really annoying me like ****.
I actually have send my iPhone 4 to the insurance company 3 weeks ago because the home button and on/off button was broken. Instead of reparing I actually received another iPhone 4 about 2 weeks later (probably a refurbished one). And this is the device I am having the issue with. It's on iOS6 at the moment while mine was on iOS5 still but as even a clean install results in the same issue I don't think that the iOS version is the issue.
Really, any help at solving this is very welcome.

My phone says iPhone cannot make or receive calls, My phone says iPhone cannot make or receive calls

My iPhone 4 is not turning on unless it is plugged in. It keeps shutting off and I can't use anything apps messages call ect. I need it to work ASAP! Please help!

Hello Rylee703,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating.
From my understanding, it sounds like we have two separate issues going on. Both of these issues may be resolved by restoring your iPhone with iTunes:

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.
