Screen says slide to make emergency calls please help

i was updating to the 3.1 firmware and my computer froze and when i looked at my iphone it was frozen as well so i reset it and when it turned back on it just says slide to make emergency calls. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

Your phone needs to be activated. Do you have the original SIM that came with the phone? Since you are in the US, make sure your AT&T SIM is seated correctly and disconnect and then reconnect the iPhone to iTunes.
iTunes should activate it.

  • I have iPhone 3G, iTunes 10.5, offered to upgrade the version of the phone, after which you can only make emergency calls. Help! ! ! I'm in a panic!

    Yesterday iTunes 10.5 offered to upgrade the iPhone 3G to the version of I don't know, most likely to the new. After that, the screen of the cable and the icon iTunes, you can only dial emergency calls. What to do? How to get back to the previous version, or at least to do so would the phone began to work? I'm from Russia, so you need the Russian version. Help please! Describe all of the items what to do... I'm in a panic!

    Sounds like this was a hacked iPhone...hacked to unlock it so you could use it where you live. One of the big downsides to hacking an iPhone, to unlock it, is that updating software or restoring the phone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. This appears to be what has happened to you. You have two choices to fix things: 1. Get the phone officially unlocked, or 2. Re-hack it to unlock it(sorry, can't be discussed here). Good luck.

    It sounds as if you have Voiceover activated. You should be able to turn it off by triple tapping the Home button.

  • HELP! i turned my phone on and it will only let me make emergency calls!!!!

    I had been having trouble syncing my iPhone to my Mac computer.
    One day, after i installed Leopard, i plugged my phone into my computer.
    Normally what happens is iTunes and iPhoto pop up and my phones little logo comes up in each application. But, what actually happened was only iPhoto came up, so i was confused.
    I opened up iTunes, but the phone still wasn't showing up. It also wasn't syncing with iCal either. So i had been reading articles on problems with the iphone and i hadn't found anything, so i went to my schools tech guy and he as a iphone and a mac too, so we plugged my phone into his computer, and what do you know, it showed up in HIS itunes. I unplugged my phone from his computer and noticed i had no service. So i waited like 15 minutes and nothing changed, so i shut my phone off and turned it back on, and this weird screen came up. Its like a picture of the plug and a arrow pointing to the itunes logo, still saying i have no service, and only letting me make emergency calls. i plugged it into my computer and nothing happened. what do i do!?

    I have the same problem. iTunes says There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPone "XXXXXX". The requested resource was not found.
    I cannot fix the problem.

  • In Denmark but can only make emergency calls

    I'm in denmark wanting to make just a couple calls so I didn't get an international plan. But my phone says I can only make emergency calls. Phone is a new Samsung s6 Active. Help!

    Hi there! @wormturner thanks for posting your concerns. I’m sorry to hear you are unable to make calls while in Denmark. I’ll be happy to help! It is possible that you don’t not have international roaming active on the account. I highly recommend adding an international plan to your line, as this can save you a great deal versus pay per use rates, which are 1.50 per minute in Denmark.
    If you’d like more information on the plans we have please visit us at http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/international/roaming.html
    Of course we’ll be happy to check your account to verify the availability of international roaming for pay per use on your line as well.
     please private message me by clicking here and provide your name and number.
    We will reach out to you within two business days.
    Thanks!

  • I have one iPhone 8GB. after making upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use the iPhone. There's no service! doesn't acept the code PIN! it only make emergency calls and the image in the phone is to conect to iTunes.What can i do?

    I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

    Where are you and where did you get the phone.  This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
    If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
    If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

  • I can only make emergency calls from my iphone 4. How do I fix this? Not tech savvy in the slightest !!

    I've just recently bought a white iphone formy daughter and am trying to put my sim into her old one but can only make emergency calls.  How do I get round this?  Not tech savvy at all as you can probably gather.  Thanks

    Did you connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it with iTunes? You will need the internet as well as Apple will unlock your iPhone over the internet via iTunes. Let us know if this helps.

  • Cannot get to passcode entry area to restore-can only make emergency call--

    One minute phone was working fine the next it gave me a restore needed connect to itunes message and would only allow me to make emergency calls. When I connect the phone to the computer to itunes it tells me it cannot connect to the phone because it has a passcode, but I cannot get to the place where you enter the passcode. any suggestions? HELP!!!

    If you know the passcode, enter it when prompted (if prompted).
    If you do not know the passcode and/or are not prompted to enter it, your only option is to restore as new.
