Vodafone Network - Emergency Calls Only

Hello
Earlier today my phone kept blinking in and out of reception for calls.  I am with Vodafone network and it kept coming up emergency calls only . . . then . . . 
My phone fell into the pool    i did manage to pull it out and took it apart and dried it out - it is working again  
Its working fine for msg but says its connected to vodafone network (on and off like earlier) and yet it will not let me place any calls  it says emergency calls only . . . any tips?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
REMOVE YOUR BB BATTERY NOW!!!
Run, don't walk, to this FAQ:
http://http://www.ehow.com/how_7307294_dry-out-blackberry-rice.html
Do everything it says, including waiting the maximum recommended time (perhaps longer...perhaps 5 days). Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
Good luck!

  • How to fix "No Network is available, Emergency call only"

    I am overseas on business trip. I was able to text and received text for about 10 hours on landing. I had the global roaming activated before leaving US.

  • Emergency calls only after OS upgrade

    Hi,
    After the last main OS upgrade my phone constantly switches from having a full single to "Emergency calls only", if i restart the phone it will sometimes pick the network up again.
    I thought the issue was related to the sim card at first so i got this swapped at Vodafone however this has not ressolved the issue, driving me nuts any help would be great thank you

    See if the following helps....

    I think your solution is to upgrade the OS. If there isn't an official upgrade from your carrier, unofficial methods (Sachesi) may be what you want to do.

  • Z30 Emergency Calls Only

    Hi,
    I have been using Z30 for about 3 months and it was fine until sunday. I made a call on sunday night before going to bed. When I wake up in the morning, to my surprise, i see the phone was switched to EMERGENCY CALLS mode. I swapped SIM, toggled airplane and Mobile Network. Even I tried the Network Selection mode to manual/automatic. Everything went unsuccessful.
    I can use the same SIM in the other phone. 
    Please advise how the EMERGENCY CALLS only mode can be changed.
    One more thing, 2 days before the phone OS was updated to 10.3.1.1767.
    Look forward to hear from you.
    Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Can you try: Turn on Airplane mode --> Reset Phone (using either method I said earlier) --> Turn off airplane mode and check if signal is back ?
    Also a couple of other quick questions. When you put network settings to "manual", does it show a list of available networks ?
    Can you also tell me the Radio Version you have from: Settings --> About --> OS (from dropdown)  ? Is it 10.3.1.2559 (just want to see if it same as my phone)
    Thanks!

  • Help me Please, Emergency Calls only.!!

    Hi everyone my BlackBerry doesn't makes calls, when I tried to make calls it keep saying emergency calls only, but it shows my network and the camera doesn't work it keeps saying the disabled form the system administration.
    Help me please with this problem. 

    Is this a language barrier problem or you just don't understand my instructions?  The post is very clear. 
    Download and install JL_Cmder
    Backup your device using Desktop  manager if there is data on the phone you want to keep.
    Use JL_Cmder application to "resettofactory"
    Once it's done, if you need the data back, restore the backup file you made back to the device.

  • Emergency Calls Only Problem

    My old brick phone battery died yesterday so I've bought a newer brick. I have an Orange PAYG SIM card which I've been using for more than ten years, but when I put it in the new phone it says Emergency Calls Only. The sim, however, has transferred all my contact info. I've tried to update the network details manually, but it says the network isn't registered. The new phone is a Samsung GT-E1200I. Help.

    Have you made sure your new phone is not locked to another network?

    You will have to ask Vodafone to do it for you.

  • Phone says it needs to be restored and to connect to iTunes to restore. Emergency calls only. But nothing happens when i connect it to iTunes. What's going on?

    Why can't I restore my iphone 4. it says to connect to itunes to restore and emergency calls only. But it doesn't restore.

    Reboot your computer
    Connect the USB end of the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    Disable your firewall and antivirus
    Launch iTunes
    Disconnect the phone from the other end of the cable
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes black, then release the SLEEP button but contiune holding the HOME button
    Connect the cable to the phone while still holding HOME
    Wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in "recovery mode", then release HOME and your phone should restore.

  • "emergency calls only" - but only sometimes!

    Hi everyone,
    I bought the new iphone 4, and it worked just fine. The guy at the store (mobile phones store) inserted microsim, activated the device and everything was fine untill it was turned off by me. Then, when i would power it on, it would present the "emergency calls only" screen, but not allways! if you w8 for some time, try again, you can power it on normally, and again, if you power it down, and try again, guess what: "emergency calls only".
    The craziest thing is that it gets the carrier signal once i turn it on successfully, but losses it after a few moments saying "no service".
    Any idea on what could be the problem here?
    i tried restoring with itunes, but except for losing all the data, it didn't really help....
    do you think this is a sim card issue, or some hardware issue with the iphone?
    ty for any replies!

    y, i forgot to say, that the "emergency calls only" screen, was also "connect to itunes" screen... sry

  • I phone home screen says disabled and emergency calls only as i have forgot passcode

    i phone home screen says disabled and emergency calls only as i have forgot passcode
    cannot reset through itunes
    just keeps saying that it cannot be restored as there is a lock on it

    Restore the device.
    If "Find My iPhone" is activated on the device, wipe the device via iCloud.com and then restore it.

    second it sounds like your iphone could be locked to another operator then the sim you have inserted

  • HT201413 phone is stuck in emergency call only mode how do i fix this

    my phone is stuck in emergency call only mode

    Hi, bit75.  
    Thank you visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like your device may be disabled and can only make emergency calls.  Here is the article that I would recommend going through if this is the case.  
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

  • Emergency call only mode, how to get out?

    I was downloading the Samsung Kies app and then my phone went into Emergency call only mode. I have tried power down, take the battery out, reboot and recover mode and it comes back to the same, emergency call only mode. What do I do?

    I also had this problem recently and did search on Google and found this very nice guide to handle a no service or emergency calls only issue. Hope this will help you too or other people who will have the same problem. Here is the link for that.

  • IPhone 3G stuck on emergency calls only screen. HELP!

    Hi everyone, I really need some help.
    I bought my jailbroken iPhone 3G from Hong Kong on eBay a few months back. Everything was working fine on iOS 4.2.1, except the battery life was very poor. After getting the battery replaced there was no improvement. So my boyfriend suggested I try restoring the phone with iTunes as it was supposed to improve the battery life.
    I plugged my phone in and went through the restore process, only to receive "iTunes Error 1015". After this my iPhone went into recovery mode and stayed put. I tried using a YouTube tutorial and TinyUmbrella to help me out of the error, but it only made my phone go to the "Emergency calls only" screen and now the phone will not appear in iTunes as it says the SIM card that has worked perfectly with iTunes every other time is not supported. I am at a total loss as for what I am meant to do. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Please help.

    I found your problem.
    All sorts of things can go wrong with jailbroken phones, it's never a good idea to do so. Not to mention, it means you won't be getting much help on here.
