Q: iPhone 4S "no service" problem

Apple hasn't said when there will be a fix and if that fix will even work. According to them, there is nothing wrong with your phone. At least that is my experience with Apple.

As I said before, I think the problem is a corrupted system app. For now its probably better to avoid iCloud for anything to do with firmware. ICloud is still in beta and its not clear how reliable it is.

I got my iPhone 4s not very long time ago, and it's been functioning ok until now. I've been in France for a few days, I took the Eurostar home and naturally in the tunnels the service went off. However it never came back. I've switched off 3G, I've turned the phone on and off a million times. "No service". This is unbelievably frustrating and I WILL NEED my phone to call tomorrow morning, and I have no other functioning available.
Is this Apple's problem or Orange most likely?

I have a right to express my opinions on an open forum. If Apple wants to remove my comments, they can do so. It only proves my theory.
I paid for an iPhone to work as an iPhone and it doesn't. They have failed to provide the consumers support whether it be on here or via a press conference on the matters regarding iOS 5.x and iPhone 4S.
Until Apple addresses the issues, I will continue to raise awareness until the problems are solved.

Jan 18, 2012 7:26 PMby getinmiggy,I think your posts are right on. No complaints from me. When we got this phone it was implied that it would work as a phone. It does not. After 3+ months of issue after issue I have no faith Apple cares and will actually address and correct anything. It seems they only respond to money so my solution is to remove my money from the equation.

Jan 18, 2012 10:52 PMby WOLVERIINE,I updated my phone to 5.01(9A406) when it was first launched was working fine( and I said posted that earlier) until the past 10 days. Dunno what happened but the "no service" and invalid SIM/no SIM thing started appearing again, not as often as it was before but still irritating...thought I'd update you guys....and hope this thing is fixed soon -
Jan 19, 2012 3:38 AMby jeemboh,Agree it is likely to be a driver issue. Doesn't seem to be hardware as, since I restored 9A406 using iTunes I haven't had a problem. The reason it may be an iCloud problem is that - when I tried restoring over the air (using iCloud) - it didn't solve the problem. Diagnostics in the 'About' section doesn't contain any information.
