My messages won't send, then all my messages disappear, I can't make or receive calls, then after a while everything's back to normal? Someone please help

My phone takes forever to send a message, it then after reopening the messages app, will delete all of my texts and iMessages. The app will usually freeze and come up empty with 'create new message'. At the same time it won't let me receive calls, sometimes it will let me make a call but the phone app itself is also then frozen. After 15-45 mins everything will go back to normal and my messages all appear again. I then receive anything that I was sent to me during that time and all my messages then send. I've gone and got an early upgrade from a 4s to a 5s in the hope this would stop and it still hasn't. I heard somewhere that it could be to do with iCloud and it being bugged, would be great if anyone could help

Go through these 4Rs troubleshoots if you haven't done already:
Restart:
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes":  I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range).  help!

    All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4.  Newest OS.  Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help.  Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on.  After first time this happened, I restored.  Six days later...same problem!  Clearly a new fix is necessary.  Suggestions? 

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • IPhone 4 on IOS 5.0.1 can't make or receive calls or send/receive SMS

    Hi there,
    Last friday, I noticed that I can't make or receive calls on my unlocked iPhone 4 on IOS 5.0.1. Until then it works fine. I can't neither send or receive SMS. The Internet connection works fine and I can surf the Internet over 3G.
    I have test the SIM on my 2G iPhone and the calls works right. I have restore the network settings and I have completely restored (including IOS) the device over iTunes but the problem persist.
    Have anyone experienced the same?
    Thanks in advance

    The resolution to my problem was a new phone. My first trip to the Genius Bar I was asked if I had done a complete restore to factory settings. I did that when I got home and the problem with using the phone was unchanged. I went back to the Genius Bar, described that I had restored to factory settings, and the screen still froze when I tried to either end a call or answer a call. They basically said it must be a hardware problem and gave me a new phone. My phone was 3 months old so it was still under warranty.

        haynes88,
    Yikes! I want you to be able to make phone calls on your cell phone! I would recommend what others have stated on here as well. Remove the sim card for a good 30 seconds while the phone is off. Then try to make the phone call again. Have you ever replaced the sim card on your device before? You can always get a new sim card for free at a corporate store location: http://bit.ly/3SdsA Please keep us posted.

  • My phone will on send and receive text and emails, I can't make or receive calls

    My phone will only send and receive text and emails, I can't make or receive calls. Please help

    Have you tried rebooting the phone?  Also maybe removing and reinstalling the sim card?  Make sure your not in airplane mode or check under settings -- general --cellular and see whats turned on or off.

  • What's Wrong With My iPhone 4? Sometimes I Can't Make or Receive Calls and I Also Can't Send or Receive Texts!

    Recently, I've been having issues with my iPhone 4.
    A few weeks ago, out of the blue, I could not send or receive texts, and I couldn't make or receive calls. If I tried to send a text, the little bar will go almost all the way to the end and just hang there for something absured like over half an hour. Then it tells me that it failed to send. When I try to call someone when I suffer from this problem, there's no dial tone, no noise. When I try to hang up, it just says "Hanging up..." and if I go out of the Phone, it says up the top "touch ti resume call" when I'm trying to hang up. If I touch to resume call, it's like I didn't hang up.
    Then, out of no-where, it suddenly fixed itself. I thought, "Great! Something like that surely couldn't happen again!"
    And it did again, just a few minutes ago. And subsequently fixed itself, albiet faster than last time.
    How can I avoid this problem in the future? Do I need have my iPhone 4 repaired? Do I need to tell you guys more information?
    Thanks for your time,
    Sasha.

    I believe the root cause is IOS5.01. same problem on my iphone4s with IOS5.01. Now I have a expensive I-touch!  wake up steve.............. I suggest you change your sim cark from 64k to 128k. or just waiting next generation IOS.

  • Can't make or receive calls all of a sudden

    I have a black berry z 10 and after I did the update today I can't make or get calls help I'm really stressing out

    Hey Mspreshes,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    When you try to make a call, do you get a specific error?  Try removing the battery and placing it back in and then try to make a phone call.
    Are you able to use BBM and send and receive emails?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Can't make or receive calls, send texts

    Yesterday my phone stopped making/receiving calls and I can't send texts. I have received texts from BT, but no-one else... Any ideas? Signal showing ok at top of screen, and has been fine since switching.

    It sound more like a capacity problem on your local mobile phone cell site, especially the system busy message. Have you tried your mobile phone at a different location, on a different cell site?
    How is it that you are posting your messages from a mobile phone, is it a different mobile you are using?

  • Can't make or receive calls, but can send SMS messages?

    Heyyy so a friend of mine, I was on the phone with her, and she dropped it. It's a 3G Curve on Verizon I believe. And now when I call her it gives me a fast busy tone. She can text me, but she can't call me. She's done a battery pull, turned on and off airplane mode, turned on and off bedtime mode, nothing seems to be working.
    Any ideas?

  • Can't make or receive calls from iphone 4 - all i get is static

    I cannot receive or make phone calls on my iphone 4 -- al i get is static.  very loud screaching...
    I have rebooted my phone and updated to 7 but it still is the same.  I am extremely frustrated -- I am paying for a phone i cannot use

    It sounds as if you have tried all of the user troubleshooting. You need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the closest Apple store and see if there is a hardware defect.

  • I have ipad2 and I tried to turn it off by the sliding the red bar like 5 hours ago, it now has the circle of little lines going around the circle in the center of it and I can't get it to go off all the way or come back on! Someone please help.

    I tunes will not recognize it when plugged in since it is doing this thing, and I just don't know what to do. I just finished completing a final project on pages for school and now I'm worried I might not get this thing working before Wednesday to turn in the assignment!!!

    First, try simply plugging into your wall charger and not the computer.  If that does nothing do a hard reset by holding your home and power button down at the same time until the Apple logo flashes back on the screen and release.  Typically about 6-8 seconds.  If that doesn't do it, you might need to put it into DFU mode.  Try the first two and let me know how it goes before we do the DFU procedure.
