  • 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.

  • 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!

    Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device.  Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

  • Forget "No Service" - phone says I can only make emergency calls

    I think i've had it with this Iphone. I'm on my 2nd refurbished phone since February 2010 (since they wouldn't replace my 1st phone after it kept showing No Service) and I'm sick and tired of all these problems. At first I was having a problem with No Service coming on my phone even though i'm in an area with tons of cell towers so I replaced my SIM card and got a refurbished "new" phone to see if that solved the problem. Then I still had that problem but then I was getting on my screen what looked like a cord connecting to ITunes saying that I can only make SOS/Emergency calls. What I had to do was shut the phone off and turn it back on - which itself isn't THAT big of a deal but more of an annoyance b/c I had no idea how long it had been out. I just got a second refurbished phone yesterday and this morning I'm having the same problem. When I took the second phone to the Apple store they said there was a problem with the antenna connecting or something and that there was something like over 300 network resets. What the f**k is wrong with these phones? Is it that IOS 4.01? Can I downgrade to the previous version? Does it have to do with my email? How can I stop these problems? My friends who live in my neighborhood who have the same phone do not have these No Service problems. I'm ready to call the head of Apple and have a few choice words with him!!

    If you qualify to have it unlocked by AT&T (you completed your contract and don't owe them anything) then you can use it with limited functionality on any compatible GSM carrier. There are no pre-paid options for using it with AT&T. There are known compatibility problems with T-Mobile in the US. Some people have had limited luck using it on StraightTalk.
    Follow the directions you get from AT&T assuming you qualify to have it unlocked. You will need a SIM, though I don't know that it will have to be an AT&T SIM. The unlock is done by restoring the phone using iTunes.
    If you just want to use it as an iPod Touch (no cellular service) you can do that, but you will need an AT&T SIM to re-activate the phone. It does not have to be tied to active service, it just has to be present.

  • 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.

  • Can only make emergency calls

    I have fitted my SIM (3G) from my Orange/Samsung phone but can only get emergency calls (I Phone 3G). When I connect the phone to my computor I get the message"the SIM may not be supported contact your supplier". Orange say the SIM should work as it works in my other phone. Any ideas please?

    I was given the phone by a friend when I was in the UK a few weeks ago. He had had a free upgrade to I phone4S. Have looked at other questions on the forum and think I may have partially solved the problem. I am in France and I put my SIM from my UK Samsung into the Iphone. I purchased the Samsung in UK and have fitted the SIM in France. Of course I am now on the French network. I did ring the Orange shop in the UK where I purchased the Samsung and they talked me through rebooting the Iphone but I still get the same message that the SIM may not be allowed. Perhaps it's a network problem?

  • Can't make international calls with Siri?

    I use Siri (in English) and when I try to make it call someone in a specific foreign country I'm having some issues. It works for all national calls and when I phone SOME foreign numbers too (from Australia etc).
    All my numbers (national or not) have the +country code before it and it works perfectly when calling from my contact list, but a few of them don't work when I tell siri to call them: "Sorry, I can't call (name of the contact)". It doesn't give me a reason.
    The number is correct and I phone it several times and it works, but still Siri won't call it, it recognizes the contact and their number, tries to call it and then it says it can't.
    The number has the +country code of 2 digits, and then the normal 10 digits number (just like the national numbers I usually call and THEY WORK).
    Is Siri not allowed to make calls to specific countries? If so, what are these?
    Note that it can call national numbers and also some international numbers I have but only to SOME countries!)
    Thanks!! Please help!

  • Cannot get iphone 4 working...can only make emergency calls!

    i got the phone in the mail earlier today from my step mom, she had cancelled her contract with at&t and was 2 weeks past the return date so she gave me the phone. i got a new SIM card and went to go set up with a at&t representative. the lady tells me that i need to sync the phone up with the itunes in order to get it going so i can make calls. i downloaded the latest version of itunes and my pc is up to date with windows 7. i CANNOT connect to itunes store through itunes. i have full internet access and there is no firewall blocking itunes from working properly. i need to make calls, this phone is for business use and i have no phone hooked up now. my blackberry is disconnected and i cannot connect the iphone and apple support center is now closed.
    i noticed before, when i switched usb ports, that the device manager will not fully install all software for the device (phone). what can i possibly do? i need to make calls for business. again, i cannot get past the 'emergency calls only' screen, i have full internet access, no firewalls blocking itunes, no other phone in the house, apple is closed, and im screwed.
    is there a driver i need to download and install? i cant even call at&t to restore my blackberry because i have no phone now! the main screen on the iphone4 has the itunes logo and the power cord pointing to it. the device simply wont read on itunes and the only option i have with it on itunes is to eject. i know once i can 'restore' i'll be fine and able to sync up eventually, but why wont it read the device and why wont it connect to itunes, even with using my ID and password??
    someone please help me soon because im about to lose my mind!
    thanks in advance!

    under devices is the iphone and the only option is 'eject' i cannot restore or sync anything. the only sync option i have is to sync the computer's history.

  • 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.

  • I can only make outgoing calls. My home button is only working for voice control and won't take me back to menu. I am only in the calling screen and can't even shut off. What do I do?

    I am freaking out! I am a college student and owner of my Iphone 3Gs. I just got it this past August and I don't understand what is wrong. I did not drop it or come into contact with any water or disabling substance. I am literally stuck on the calling page with favorites, recents, contacts, keypad and voicemail. When I push my Home button I am not brought back to my menu. When I hold it down voice control is enabled but I still can't get to my menu. Then when I try to hold the sleep button to shut off nothing happens. What's wrong with my phone? I can't even go into contacts and hit text message nothing happens. Also, when I get a message in nothing happens when I push view. Please help me.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Can't make international calls on iPhone 4s.

    My carrier says there is no barring on my account so it must be my phone settings. Also would this mean I can't text an international number? Thanks

    Either set dial assist in settings/phone to on and then dial + 27 (area code without leading zero) (phone number without leading zero)
    Or
    0011 27 (area code without leading zero) (phone number without leading zero)
    If that doesn't work then I would contact your carrier to make sure your plan does indeed support making international calls
