Have you contacted the company you're paying for cell service?

I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet.. I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.
Have a look at this it might help

Brand new iPhone 4 - Nearly NO signal
Hello.
I got a BRAND new iPhone 4 yesterday. Had **** much trouble activating it. Could not understand why, but i see now it's because of signal.
I got 1 bar in signal here. My 3GS lies beside it with full signal. Also my backup Sony Ericsson C702 got full signal. All on same operator. If i hold my hand over the iP4 i loose all signal, but 3GS and SEc702 is unaffected. I dont even touch it. Then i have to hold the iPhone 4 to the window and go slow in and lay it exact same place to hold the signal to 1.
This is in Norway, the dealer where i bought it would / could not help me. Apple said i had to talk to the dealer. The operator said they had no antenna problems nearby.
Anyone know how i can look this up? The dealer says i must order the "antenna fixing bumper" which is ********, because all that crap is build of is plastic! Which will not help the signal anyway.
Please? I would appreciate if i diden't have to wait any longer to use my phone. If i have to turn it back i end up at the end of the list of waiting persons. Dammit3GS = 5Bars (Full)
I4 = 0 Bars / 1 Bar (DB: -113 when 1 bar)
C702: 6Bars (Full)
All on Edge.
I4 is BRAND new yesterday.
Tried:
- Reset network
- Reset all
- Restore
- Restore & restore backup
- Download new ipsw and restore from
- Jailbreak and unlock
- Restore with other sim (other carrier)
- Called apple (said it was the retailer's problem)
- Called carrier (said it was no problem with the closest antenna)
- Called retailer (said i either could get my money back or wait for the bumper since the antenna had a problem they said it had to be that!)
- Restoring again with sim1 in
- Restoring with sim2
- Resetting all settings
- Hard Reset
Still same problem. When i go outside i get 1 bar and edge (-113) can call and everything. But when i take it inside or puts it in my pocket i get "No Service".
If i return it i have to wait enourmus time to get it fixed. Since norway have to send it to apple repair to check it .. Norway only got 2000 iPhone4 and it's all sold out.
WHY apple? Why do you give me a defected device? Why dont you guys contact me and say "We'll send you a new phone directly NOW and you can just return the old to us!".
Oh goood -
I have a brand new iphone. All of a sudden it will not charge. When i plug the charger to the phone it says that charger its not compadible with my phone and sometimes it will charge up to 4% and then it wont charge any more. Why is this?
If your phone is still under warranty, get it checked by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider to find out what the problem might be.
Could be the USB adapter, USB cable or the docking port of the phone.

Brand new iphone 4s getting heated during charging and using...
To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If it still gets hot, you should get it serviced

Has the software on the phone been modified?

After i got it 10 mints my brand new iphone 6's screen begin to flickering then turn black
weeks ago i ordered a iPhone 6 on apple.nz website, i got it delivered yesterday afternoon, 10 min after first turning on the screen of my brand new iPhone 6 began flickering a little, i thought it will be fine, but then the situation getting worse. At very beginning, i can fix it with holding the home key, but later this solution did not work, the screen flickering badly then the whole screen faded into black. i have to restarted it couple times to make my phone work again.
so this morning i chat with the online service ten call the service number of New Zealand, they asked me to restore my iPhone by iTunes, so i did. but after that the flickering get more frequently , and the speed of turn black is getting faster.
it makes me stop all my work trying to make this iPhone 6 back to work, i spent about 4 hours in total calling the service center. i feel REALLY ANGRY NOW!
also i noticed that when i open the safari the home page is Apple China, I saw some comments about the products from China have many functional problem. If it was really i sincerely hope the apple company could take this seriously.Okay, so after the call to restore the device and it didn't work, what did they tell you to do next? Since the device is brand new, it is still covered under the warranty, and it is still under the 14 day return policy. Take advantage of that and get a new one. You think that an occasional defective device is that bad? You are not going to get 100% perfect devices. Most companies are happy with 10% rejects getting out into the retail market. Given the record number of these things sold, you realize what 10% is?

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. I can't get it to ring. I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone. But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise
Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?

I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!
In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of. -
i would like to get my notes back from itunes or at least be able to see them without restoring my brand new iphone 4s as i believe the back up from my previous iphone is corrupted. Help please
If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.

Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode
So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message. After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen. I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results. I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone." Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?
Hello rph30,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo. The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software. Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range. Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect. As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again. It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes. You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
Thanks!
