My phone isn't connecting to 3G and I can't send or receive phone calls or texts.

So my phone just stopped being able to connect to 3G and stopped being able to send and receive phone calls and texts. It was working fine this morning and it shows that I have multiple bars "dots" but my 3G is reading 1x and says I can't make a connection. What should I do?

If you have looked where James suggested and you are saying that the phone number does not appear in there at all, you can add the phone number to the iPad but you may need to sign out of Messages on the iPad AND the iPhone.
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that  wifi network

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • HT3529 My phone bill is paid and I can't send or receive msgs and I tried to call Rogers but that doesn't even work and if it was a bill issue I could still call Rogers think it might be software but I would like to know what to do

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • HT4528 I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls me it comes up as unknown but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a carrier issue or is this my device?

    I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls it comes up as "unknown" but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a device issue or a carrier problem?? I've tried everything. Reset the network and some a hard reset but no changes.

    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.

  • Moved hosting of email and now can't send or receive emails

    did a search on the forum but can seem to find a solution to my problem. 
    so has any one ever had any problems with removing an email account (with estreet) and then adding a new account (with Dreamhost.com) to a blackberry?
    it is the same email address but we moved the hosting last night.... vocapr.com
    My client can't send or receive email but isn't getting an error message ... just nothing is happening. She can send and receive via Outlook and on my iphone.
    we also did a hard reboot but it still won't send or receive emails.
    Please advise.

    Hi,
    If your using BIS - Log into your BIS account and delete the email address and recreate it again - the email server details  are pointing to the wrong email server.
    If your using BES ,then the BES needs to get the correct Mail Server details - Delete the user form the BES and add them back, then reactivate the Handset.

  • I just got an IPhone 5C and I can't send or receive pictures on it.

  • IPhone 5 and Yosemite, can not send or receive phone calls on Mac

    I have latest software on iPhone 5 and Yosemite and an update on cloud, still no phone calls are displaying on my mac or txt msgs... am I missing a step? Can only users who also have iPhones with Facetime only contact me via my computer?

    Hi ravanarrowood,
    I had similar problems at the beginning. Bluetooth were switched on on both devices but the hands off was not working. Later I realized that iOS 8.1 was already released but my iPhone did not even notify me. Then I restored the iPhone connecting it to iTunes, installed iOS 8.1 and only after that bluetooth starting working properly and I could manage to pair both devices.
    For text messages, try going to Messages --> Preferences --> Accounts --> iCloud account
    You can be reached for messages at ... Add your cell phone number if it is not there already.
    I could manage to receive the messages from my Mac with these settings. But still the messages are not syncing across devices but I am just receiving them from both devices. I delete a message from my iPhone in the morning and in the afternoon I re-receive it from my Mac. Interesting..

  • I have an iphone 6.  The ringer doesn't make a sound.   I have tested the ringer and it sounds however when I receive a call or text or email the ringer is silent

    I have an iphone 6.   The ringer remains silent when I receive a call, text or email.  It shows I am receiving a call on the screen but there isn't any sound.  I cannot figure out what is wrong.

    If you've checked the mute switch as razmee209 has suggested and it's not enabled, the next thing to check would be Do Not Disturb. Do you see a small crescent moon in the status bar? Check Settings>Do Not Disturb and turn it off.

  • Email frozen, connection doctor say ok but can't send or receive through apple mail. Works ok when opened using safari

    My apple e-mail has suddenly stopped working. Connection doctor say everything is fine (no connection problems) If accessed through safari account works fine. Also have had to "force quit" on a number of occassions. Any help much appreciated.
    Am a bit miffed with apple wanting payment to fix something that appears to be a bug on a machine that is less than 1 yr old

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Tried both 25 and 587 and still can't send or receive

    I have tried changing to both 25, 465 and 587, and still can not use my mail app.
    These were the 3 primary port suggestions I could find on this site and forum. Sorry if I missed any other easy ones.
    Any suggestions? I have called support and gone to the store ("bar") and still no suggestion that works.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Greetings,
    Typically, of most of the users that are having issues with their Mail, can receive mail fine but sending is usually the issue. You will need to know the correct port that you need - usually 25 or 587. If you can surf the Web, you can do email.
    You will need to check with your home ISP for the correct parameters, if you are at home. If you are at work, or elsewhere you will need to know those parameters in most cases if you want to send because more and more ISPs are blocking all SMTP servers other than their own. I know I do.
    If you have Web access to your email, you can use that, and some IMAP mail providers will work about anywhere, but you still need to know the particulars. We block Dot Mac's IMAP to where I can receive email. but I have to plug in the local SMTP server to send anything, because of the local blocking. I don't have any problem with that as it's another layer of security.
    There is nothing wrong with Mail 3.2 or Leopard, they are not flaky. The problems are setup and configuration issues - once you know the correct parameters and setup routines, it all works fine.
    I have never had an issue of note with Mail or Leopard - I use my Dot Mac mail and Exchange mail, in our Active Directory Domain, at work. I also have a Road Runner POP account that I use as well.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I bought a NEW iPhone 4s Att and I can't send or receive text please help!

    I checked the settings but I don't see anything unusual. I do have unlimited text and Mms. I'm lost I guess

    Have you checked with AT&T to see if there is a problem with your account set up?

  • Just updated my iPhone 4S to ios6 and I can't send or receive photos

    Message failure every time I send a photo

    In email what you do is open a new message than hold your finger in the message screen where you type your message until the balloon comes up then tap on insert picture or video.  In mms it is similar except you hold your finger in the text window and then tap on the arrow that points to the right.
