Phone gone off completely wont turn back on at all

I sent a text and the phone was on the main home page i turned it onto silent and left it alone.. i picked it up and went to send another text and there was nothing on the screen it was like it had been switched off but it had full battery life i tried switching it back on and it wouldnt so i tried plugging it into the mains and still nothing i cant press buttons switch it on or anything i have no idea why this could have happened yet i got my daughter to ring it and it rings on her phone but nothing on my iphone 4 very very confused and angry as i have only had it 4 weeks. can anyone shed any light on this please....

I cut up a SIM card to micro size, it's easy enough. It is not hard to do with a pair of scissors although clipping devices are now available on Ebay.
Just pick up some free PAYG cards from a phone shop to practice on and just cut carefully.
But why would you want to? To wish to use the same card means you intend to stay on the same network provider. Just ring them up or go online and they will send you a micro SIM and transfer your number to the new card. Just be sure to store your contacts on the iPhone rather than the SIM card.
Although they are available now when the iPhone 4 first came out in the UK T-Mobile did not have any micro SIM cards - which is why I did it.

  • My phone shut off and wont turn back on

    my iPhone4 shut off and won't turn back on...what do i do?

    It could just be the power. Apple says you should completely drain the battery and completely recharge it at least once a month. When completely drained, as they say, it takes a bit after being plugged in again for the iPhone to start responding again.

  • Phone Shut Off And Wont Turn Back On

    topic says it all fellow iphone users. My phone is 3gs 16gb 4.1 iOS firmware. If any solutions are given on how to somehow boot my phone back on other than the obvious home and lock for 10 seconds would be greatly appreciated.

    If it doesn't turn on then a reboot is required. If this happens consistently there's something corrupted in the phone's firmware. If it is not jailbroken just update it to the latest version. If it is then your problem is beyond the scope of this forum.

  • I phone 5 off and wont turn back on

    my battery started draining really fast so i drained it all the way. now the phone won't charge just flashes the logo, it won't take the new software in recovery. the itunes logo goes away part way through the process and flashes the apple logo again any ideas? ive held the buttons in a bunch of combos too...

    Possible causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    5. You installed a beta version of iOS 7 and you are not a developer with the tools to manage it. If this is the case you are pretty much out of luck, and next time don't install software illegally.
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • My screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.

    my screen on my iPhone 4s is gone blank and wont turn back on. Even when i reset the phone it is just blank. I know the phone is on because when i change the switch on the side it vibrates.
    Also before this the phone wasnt picking up any signal so it worked basically as an ipod.
    How much would it cost to repair this problem?

    Hello ozzy9294,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

  • My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!

    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

        Hello hazelrose,
    What an unfortunate situation! I'm sorry to hear that your current phone has stopped working. Let's see if we can find an option for you. What make & model phone do you have? Do you happen to have the extended warranty or insurance on your device?
    Thank you,

    You can try putting it in bag with rice for about 4 or 5 days and the try to turn it on.  The rice will help the drying of the iPhone.  Do not attempt to turn it until you take it out of the rice.
    If it does not work after the rice, then you know you have to replace the iPhone.  This is very likely so after 30 seconds in a hot tub, but do give the rice a try.  If you can get a hold of some silica crystals, a better drying agent than rice, that would be good too.

  • Iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on.Please HELP!!

    iphone 4 turned off and wont turn back on. It's battery was at 98-100% and was plugged into my computer via charging cable and was charging fine. I unplugged it and plugged it back in a couple different times while trying to turn it on and it wont even show a charging sign. It's blacked out I can't do anything. Please help!!

    There is nothing that anyone can do to cause the problem you have except to get the phone wet. If that happened then the phone probably needs to be replaced.
    It will not show anything when you connect to the charger, but still leave it connected for 15 minutes, then hold both buttons.

  • TS2634 my iphone 4 lost signal this afternoon & turned itself off & now wont turn back on! help!!

    my iPhone 4 lost signal this afternoon, turned itself off & now wont turn back on!! please help????

    1. Reset phone - press both home and power buttons for up to 30 seconds until the Apple logo appears/
    2. If no response, plug into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes.
    3. Repeat Reset if no response to charging.
    4. If still no signs  of live, there is a hardware failure.  Take it to Apple or whovever provides iPhone service in your country.
