My phone keeps saying "No Service", why?

I just got it today and did all i need to do. Since I'm using my old sim, i apparently had to call my carrier and tell them my IMEI # and stuff. I just did a while ago, told them the correct IMEI #, and they said they activated it or something. But the "No service" thing is still right there. I told them about that and they said that Apple gave me a wrong SIM or something, but I don't know if they'll do that since I bought it from the aunthentic one. I tried restarting it and restoring, but it wouldn't work. Help anyone?
Also, I think I'll go to the Apple store ASAP, should I still make an appointment or can I just walk in?

Best to make an appointment... But if you just got the Phone... Walk in...

  • My phone keeps saying no service how can i fix this?

    my iphone keeps saying i have no service in an area where i always have service, what could be wrong?

    It's the phone, well possibly the firmware on the phone.ots of people have this issue. I have O2 send three sim cards, run network diagnostics, send an engineer to check the nearest three mobile masts and everything was deemed to be running very well.
    The only option I am left with, and O2 strongly recommended this, was to phone Apple Care and arrangement an appointment at the nearest Apple Store. After just three minutes on the phone the Apple employee had arrangement a phone replacement and he said the staff will not bother even asking questions apart from requesting identification which is pretty good... But worrying all the same. They were really quick to offer a replacement, I wonder if they are aware of a faulty batch or something.
    I have your issue and I know how frustrating it can be, four bar 3G one minute and No Service the next. Have you had the equally annoying late SMS text arrivals yet?

  • Have just arrived in New Zealand, and have connected to local wi fi network with go signal strength, but phone keeps saying no service?  Any idea what to do?

    Have just arrived in New Zealand, have connected through local wi fi network, have good signal strength, but phone says no service, cant send texts out! any ideas?

    Text messages are sent via the cellular network, not wi-fi. Only iMessages are sent via wi-fi. Unless you have roaming turned on for the phone, or you have an unlocked phone that you installed a local SIM, you would continue to see No Service. That reflects your cellular carrier service. Connecting to wi-fi has no bearing on your cellular service, which is what displays on the status bar of the phone near the signal bars (circles/dots).

  • TS4429 In top left hand corner my phone keeps saying no service and then swapping to searching

    I have had a new screen fitted on my Iphone and now the sim card not working, in top left corner it keeps just from No Service to Searching, can anyone help. Phone is now out of guarntee so apple not able to help.

    Seems whomever replaced the screen damaged the device. Take it back to them and demand they either correct the issue or replace your iPhone with a functional iPhone.

  • My phone keeps saying that it can not activate my iphone why is this?

    my phone keeps saying that it can not activate my Iphone , why is this?

    Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

  • I have 4 apps on my phone and 17 pics and my phone keeps saying storage is almost full.. i have a 16gb phone and it says only 12.1gb are being used, why does it keep saying my storage is full?

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

    if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

  • My phone keeps saying : CANNOT TAKE PHOTO .. There is not enough available storage to ate a photo .. Manage your storage in settings ... Errrrrrrrrr I'm so aggravated

    The space you purchased is in iCloud. It is not on your phone, and there is no way you can use it directly on your phone. The phone comes with whatever memory you purchased it with (8, 16, 32 or 64 GB) and that number will never change. You can use iCloud memory for backups, for syncing your mail, contacts, calendars, notes and photos. You can also use it for storing non-iTunes music to stream back to the phone (iTunes music also, but the storage for that is free, and is not part of the storage you purchased)  and Documents and Data for apps that are iCloud enabled (such as Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps).
    Apple gives you 90 days of free telephone support when you buy an iPhone or iPad. I guess they figure that 3 months is enough time to get your startup questions answered. You also had the option of buying AppleCare, which would have extended the 90 days free telephone support to 2 years.
    You can still get free support from Apple by going to any Apple store, and from other users in this user-to-user support forum. And frequently user support is more useful than Apple's, because users don't have Apple's lawyers overseeing everything that is said by Apple employees.

  • I have voxer, and my phone keeps saying when I am trying to hold and speak, that voxer cannot record audio without a microphone, please connect a headset and try again.

    I have downloaded voxer on my phone, it was working yesterday and today, I put my phone on my docking station and used voxer a few times while it was on there.  When I took it off and tried to send a new message my phone keeps saying when I am trying to record a new message, Voxer can't record audio with out a microphone, please connect a headset and try again? 
    does anyone know how to change it back so it will work again?
    thanks for your help

    Try resetting your phone by pressing and holding the Home button and the power button unti the silver apple appears. If that doesn't work, contact the developer of the app.

  • My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?

    HI Shelby,
    It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting 
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
