Why do I get "No service" when I try to make a call or send a text message?

Ever time I want to send a text message this little loading bar at the top stops at ~80% and after a few seconds I loose signal and it says "No service".
Aslo when I try to make a call I don't hear a thing and then I get "No service". This is messed up and I have called my carrier and they told me to contact apple becquse they should fix it.

It could definately be a hardware problem if your brother's sim had the same issue. A way to isolate a hardware issue would be to back up your phone and set it up as a new device (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137)  Give it a test with no information on the phone. If it still doesn't work, it's a hardware issue. Where you have a 4s, you're definetly still covered in your limited hardware warranty (if you don't have the apple care)  You could then make an appointment at the apple store (http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/) Or call 1800 MY IPHONE to set up a mail  in replacement. Good luck!!!

  • HT1316 Why am I getting no service when I try to change my SIM card in my unlocked iPhone?

    I have had my handset unlocked with orange (my initial network) I then went with virgin for 2 months and it worked, now I have tried switching to a pay as you go sim with giff gaff, 3 and Vodafone. But all states "no service". I have been told I need to put a orange SIM card back in to the device, plug it in to iTunes, back it up and then back it up and then do a restore from back up and should work.. But still no joy.. Still only works with the Virginia or orange sim. Could someone please help????

  • Why do I get unknown error when I try to add to my iCloud storage

    Why do I get unknown error when I try and add storage to iCloud account ? I have funds in account but I do not have a credit card # on file.

    This didn't solve it for me. Card details already there, and iTunes purchases working fine.
    But just to be sure I' have re-entered and resaved my card info and checked, re-entered and re-checked my appleID info.
    Still not working.
    Anyone got any other suggestions?

  • I just downloaded the newest IOS software and now my iPhone5 won't pair with the Bluetooth in my car (the car system says it's paired when I try to re-pair it but then when n try to make a call it tells me it doesn't recognize the phone.

    I just downloaded the IOS upgrade, 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 won't pair with my Bluetooth in my car, despite repeated attempts to re-pair the two and despite the fact it's been paired fine previously.  The car system tells me it's paired but then when I try to make a call I get another message that says there is no paired phone.

    You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

  • When i try to make a call it automatically goes to end call and back to my contacts

    when i try to make a call it automatically goes to end call and back to my contacts

    This is a common problem with iPhone 4s (and IOS 5)  There isn't ' anything you can do about it, so you're best bet is to go down to the store and get an exchange. If you have an older iPhone (3gs/4) roll back your update from IOS 5 to IOS 4.

    Thank you for your help!
    Greetings Jaka

    Hmm, odd. It actually seems a hardware issue to me. Anyhow, you can try calling when there is no memory card inserted, to see if its an issue with corrupted system files on the card.
    If that doesnt work, do a hard reset:
    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.
    If that still doesnt work, you'll have to take the phone to a Nokia Care Center.

  • HT1937 How can I get to use my phone?  Much of it appears to be set up but when I try and make a call it tells me I have not been given access to this service

    How can I get to use my phone?  When I try and dial out it says:  'You have not been given access to this service'

    Have you chacked with your carrier.  The message you are getting seems to relate to a carrier issue and not something to do with the phone itself

  • Why do I get INVALID URL when I try to use links thru facebook?

    I use a laptop, running Windows7, with Mozilla and Safari as my main browsers. I've noticed that 75% of the time,(when I'm on Firefox) and I am on Facebook, when I try to play my games I get INVALID URL. If it happens on Mozilla it also happens on Safari (I've checked). Nothing I do works. I've tried every suggested *fix*, and nothing helps. It only affects FB and the links thru FB. I can go to any other website, just not fb nor any of the links to my games. All plugins are up to date except Silverlight plugin because I don't know what it is, nor how it got on my laptop. Haven't deleted it because I don't know what it is and what it's for.

  • Why wont my screen light up when I try to switch a call

    My phone will not light up during a call when I need to uuse the keyboard or pick up a waiting call.....I also cannot disconnect from a call and cannopt get screen to light up by pushing either button!! BERY annoying when trying to make a call that uses an automated system and I cannot see the screen!!!! Phone has been in an otterbox since new and never dropped or damaged!! Ive had this issus for probably six months and it just keep sgetting worse!! Also have avery poor reception in many places that all other iphone users in my house have no problem at all!!! HELP!!

    Sounds like you may have a hardware problem, like the proximity sensors failing (they turn off the screen when you put the phone to your ear to prevent accidentally tapping any of the icons).  You could try resetting it to see if that helps: hold the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the red off slider that appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.  If the problem persists take it to the Apple store for evaluation.
