Switching off location services disables cell service?

Is this right? If I switch off location services, I cannot send or receive cell phone calls. Basically switching off location services is the equivalent of putting my phone in airplane mode?
I'm using an iPhone 5 with the current iOS.
Thanks.

No, it's not right. Turning off location services should not be the same thing as putting the device in Airplane mode. Airplane mode turns off all of the radios (wifi, cellular, BT and GPS). Turning off location services doesn't disable cellular or, rather, it shouldn't in a properly working phone. I'd start with the standard troubleshooting steps.
Best of luck.

  • I have Find my Phone enabled. Could a thief switch off location services to stop it being tracked? If so, an update must place the location services and icloud into the restrictions menu to be protected by the pin to stop it being turned off????

    I have Find my Phone enabled on iphone and ipod. Could a possible thief switch off location services to stop it being tracked? If so, an update must place the location services and icloud into the restrictions menu to be protected by the pin to stop it being turned off, surely????

    Now find a way of stopping the thief removing the SIM, or simply turning off the phone or restoring it. 
    The "Find" feature is useful if you mislay the phone, but not usually of value if the phone is stolen.

  • Battery Draining Very Fast after Updating 7.1.1 ... And after switching Off Location Service.,Siri.,and 3G

    My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

     Your device might keep syncing your Emails,  Contacts and some other applications. 
    Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On,  connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert.  You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved.  Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.

  • Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services.  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

    I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services?  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.
    Message was edited by: mickyel

    I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

  • How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?

    How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?
    Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
    And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

    When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

  • Can't turn off location services on IPhone 4s.

    Settings -> Location Services (Always ON) -> can't turn ON / OFF. It's disabled. I can't even turn ON / OFF location services for apps down below. They are all Off by default. Verified with colleague and it's working on his iphone 4s. Can't find solution anywhere on web.

  • After turning off Location Services, Safari keeps saying to turn back on

    I turn off "Location Services" often to save battery power, and at night I often turn on "Airplane Mode", (which I must say is most convenient to turn all radios, (GPS, Bluetooth, Phone, Wifi, Push), at once. However, Safari continues to often send a pop up saying, "turn on location services to allow "safari" to determine your location". Not only is this pop up annoying, but I often listen to several of the rainmaker apps as I fall asleep and this notification continously shuts down my rainmaker app. I have tried to find a way to stop Safari from doing this but am getting no where. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a way to stop Safari from sending repeated prompts? This has always happened but is happening more so since using Google Latitude, which I do have completely turned off and signed out of. Thanks

    Cannot see why Safari is bugging you. 1) it is closed thus shouldn't be needing anything since apps don't run in the background. 2) Safari shouldn't ask for your location (unless specific page is asking).
    I'd say reboot as it sounds like something is stuck in memory.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.

  • TS4006 Can you remotely switch on location services from one device to another?

    I have lost my iPhone with its location services switched off so when trying to use the find my iPhone facility it does not trace it displayijng the message Location services disabled. Can any one urgently help?

    you shouldn't have to transfer the Apple Care because it is an insurance on the iPod
    No, it is not insurance.
    and since it will cover stolen iPods
    It does not cover replacement of a stolen iPod.
    if should be transfered automatically because, also in theory, it is the same iPod.
    There's no "theory" to it at all. It is the same iPod.
    AppleCare is purchased for a specific iPod. The AppleCare stays with that iPod.
