Unstable cellular network with iPhone provider in Saudi Arabia, Mobily

Since yesterday I have noticed sudden lose of cellular signal, I keep getting no network and when the network is back (even at full bars) I can't make calls.
I have noticed the following:
1. It's only happening on an iPhone using Mobily SIM card
2. non-iPhone devices with Mobily SIM card work fine
3. It only happened at my home, if I go to another location the iPhone works fine.
initial conclusion: caused while connected to specific cell towers with an iPhone.
I cannot confirm this at the moment, anyone else (with any other carrier/country) had the same issue? Thank you.
Carrier is Mobily in Saudi Arabia and currently they have no idea what is causing it. phone is iPhone 3GS.

  • Why do we want a cellular network with a special service plan to connect to the internet via a BlackBerry smartphone?

     I always wondered why we need a cellular network with a special service plan to connect to the internet via a BlackBerry smartphone?  This problem is not occuring on smartphones of other brands. Can anyone please explain this to me?

    Hello,
    The reason is that, with legacy (e.g., pre-BB10) devices, the device itself does not do all of the work to provide you with your services. Rather, there is infrastructure (BlackBerry Internet Service - BIS) hosted at the carriers/BlackBerry that provides linkages between your device and certain services. This includes, among many things, email...unlike non-BB smartphones, the BlackBerry on-device email client is not a "full" email client; it depends on BIS in order to provide the "push" email capability that BBs rely on.
    This BIS infrastructure is unique to BlackBerry, and only services BB users. Hence, it costs extra for the carriers to provide services for BB users, and therefore they can demand from their BB users a higher cost dedicated service plan so as to enable those proprietary services for the BB users. (In some markets, there is no extra charge for BIS...but the requirement for BIS nevertheless remains in all markets for legacy BB users.)
    So, this is not a "problem" per se...but rather a difference between BlackBerry devices/services and others. One could instead think of it as a "market discriminator", favoring BlackBerry (only for those who desire such, of course).
    With BB10 (Z10, Q10, Q5), BIS has been eliminated btw.
    Good luck!

  • I purchase iphone from saudi arabia (mobily telecom), can i use this mobile in pakistan and other custires. and how i know this phone is carrier unlocked..

    i purchase iphone from saudi arabia (mobily telecom), can i use this mobile in pakistan and other custires. and how i know this phone is carrier unlocked..

    It will be locked to mobily telecom, and according to Apple's list of supported carriers and their features (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937) they do not offer unlocking.  Since only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it, you have bought a useless phone.

  • I received an iPhone 4S from Saudi Arabia as a present (I live in Turkey) and it doesn't have facetime on it. Anyone know how I can get it?

    FaceTime in the Middle East
    iPhones sold in Saudi Arabia and several other countries have FaceTime disabled.
    This CANNOT be changed.

  • HT204380 I bought my iPhone 4S in Saudi Arabia. It does not have Facetime on it. Is it possible to install it?

    I have an iPhone 4S bought from Saudi Arabia. It does not have Facetime on it. Atleast I can't find it in the settings and I am not able to make Facetime calls from it. Is it possible to install Facetime on it?
    I thought Facetime was an iOS feature. How is it possible not to have it on my phone?

    It is.

    Because it is banned, by the government, on all iPhones sold in Saudi Arabia. If you wanted FaceTime, you should not have purchased an iPhone there. And no, there is no way to add it to your phone now.

  • Slow wifi network with iPhone

    I have a latest model 16GB iPhone and am seeing extremely slow internet speeds over my home wifi network. Some of my friends are having the same problem.
    I have a fairly modern ethernet-only ADSL2+ belkin router, which is connected to my time capsule. I'm using my time capsule to provide wireless internet access. There are two macs on the network with 802.11n cards, and a third mac with 802.11g, as well as my iPhone. I also have an airport express (i'm fairly sure it also has 802.11n) which is used exclusively for printing.
    When I run a broadband speed test, I get 4 to 5Mbit on the mac with 802.11g. But on my iPhone I'm only seeing speeds of around 0.5Mbit!
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?

    Hi imobl,
    Im having the same issue as virkdaman even after I updated to iOS 6.0.2. The Wifi network gets disconected frequently even when I use home wifi while my iMac is connecting to home wifi with no issue. My Iphone5 has never been jailbroken. Is it I have to wait for another iOs update to get this issue fixed?
    Thanks

  • I have purchased iphone 4 from Saudi Arabia. I am using in India but the facetme is disabled with Airtel Carrier

    I have purchased iPhone 4 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia when i was on business tour. Now i am in India and using Airtel SIM. but Facetime is not working with any carrier in India.
    How can i enable the facetime with Airtel or Aircel or Vodafone India carrier????
    Second thing.... When i take snap in Night then flash works but pic does not come clear....
    Please assist me....
    Thanks a lot

    Sorry, but you purchased an iPhone from a country that has requested FaceTime be removed from all iPhones sold in that country. Apple has no choice but to comply with these government requests, hence FaceTime has been removed from your phone and there is no way to activate it, regardless of where the the phone is used. If you want FaceTime, you need to sell your phone & purchase an iPhone in India.

  • I am planning to buy an iphone 4s in saudi arabia. can i use it in India with a different sim card?

    I am planning to buy an iphone 4 or 4s in saudi arabia. can i use it in India with a different sim card? plz reply

    Yep, but you won't have any warranty or support for this phone in India, nor will you have FaceTime. FaceTime has been permanently removed from all iPhones purchased from official sources in Saudi Arabia.

  • Cannot connect to home network with iphone via wireless.

    wireless home network does not appear in iphone. pc, laptops and iTV work perfect with wireless. I tried everything i can think of. anysuggestions?

    If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
    No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • I was given a gift of an iPhone 5s in Saudi Arabia. I took it to Verizon who said they could not hook up the phone. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do with the phone?  It is new and unopened

    I was gifted an I phone 5s in Saudi Arabia. Took it to the Verizon store. The sales rep told me I could not use it.  Any suggestions?

    If it's a legitimately unlocked iPhone, you can use it on AT&T or T-Mobile if you like. You can not bring your own iPhone to any CDMA carrier (Verizon, Sprint, etc).
    If it was originally sold in the Middle East, Facetime is permanently disabled.

  • HT4623 i bought iphone 4s in saudi arabia and i am using phone in india i do not have facetime in my phone...how to unlock my iphones facetime ?currently i am using it in india

    i have a iphone 4s last 6 month ios 5.1.1 and i am faceing a problem with facetime application
    and i do not have facetime in my phone yet so please know me how to unlock face time

    iPhones sold in Saudi Arabia don't have FaceTime due to restrictions by that country's government, and there is no way to install it, including via iOS updates (it's blocked by the device's serial number). You could download the Skype app as an alternative.

  • What are the non available features in iphone bought from saudi arabia ?

    Hello ,
    I am going to buy an iphone from saudi arabia since i am there but i heard it lack some features there such as facetime !
    I am going to the iphone in netherlands , i live there , and i would like to know if i will still have the iphone without all the features working
    Thank you.

    If it was purchased unlocked, and from an authorized Apple distributor. If it was bought from some random phone shop then there is no way of knowing.

  • Cant access internet over cellular network with new iphone 5.

    What am i missing?
    Thanks

    Try power-cycling your router (unplug for 15 seconds, then plug back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, and try joining your network again.  Note: resetting network settings will erase passwords for previously joined networks on your phone.

  • Connecting to guest network with iPhone ios5

    After upgrading to iOS 5 my iPhone doesn´t work on the guest network on my Time Capsule (It connects, but internet won´t work). The reason seems to be that the assigned IP is not in the range defined for the guest network (but rather in the ip-range for my main network). Both my Macs and ipads get the right ip-address. I`ve tried this with 3 different iphones.
    All phones worked on the guest network before upgrading, and still works when I connect to my main wi-fi network.

    Did you perform a full power cycle and reset of your modem as follows?
    Push the reset button on the modem
    Power off the modem
    Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
    Power down all other devices on your network, order is not important
    Wait 30 minutes ( It sometimes takes even longer for the equipment back at the cable company to fully reset so that it will issue you a totally new fresh connection. The cable company will never admit this.)
    Reinstall the battery if you pulled it from the modem
    Power up the modem and let it run by itself for 3-4 minutes
    Start up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 3-4 minutes so that it will fully associate with the modem
    Start each device up on the network one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for operation.
