So I haven't had any problems with my iPhone, till recently. Now my iPhone keeps losing service all the time! It loses service, then says "searching..." for a while, then it says "No service". I have reset all the settings, updated it, and even left it turned off for a whole day... Any suggestions??
There may be a problem with your iPhone's SIM card.
Stop by an AT&T corporate store explaining the problem and to request a new SIM card to rule out a problem with your existing SIM card. There should be no charge for this, and the AT&T store can activate your iPhone with the new SIM card.
Ok, here is my tail of woe.
32GB Iphone 3gs purchased July 2009, has been replaced TWICE with this very issue.
First time, after 6 months completely lost wifi and kept losing servce, the only
way to get service back was to turn it off an on, like a windows PC 🙂
BTW the windows fix did nothing for my wifi, once gone forever gone.
Replaced phone worked fine for a while, then the dreaded 'No Service' re-appears.
I can see Optus in my service list, but the phone WILL NOT CONNECT.
This is a phone, Mr Jobs, no use if I can't make/receive calls!!!
Replaced the sim, problem resurfaces in a fortnight, this is in an area with full coverage (5 bars) I know, 'cause when I gave it the old ctrl-alt-del, it came back in the same spot with 5 bars.
Replaced the phone, again, and TWO WEEKS LATER 'No Service'. People have been trying to call me, no luck, they then tried the land line, which is how I know.
As an experiment, I just pulled the sim and pushed it back in, 5 bars (no reboot)
I wonder of the sim slot is to blame? If there's an apple tech out there, how 'bout some service buddy, the phone isn't a phone if it can't call. It dies quietly, so the first you know is when you look at it, OK for gamers, not for me.
Oh - and a recent IOS 4 upgrade broke my compass 🙂
My plan lasts another 12 months, after that, back to motorola, at least they make calls.
I think apple may have become 'micro-softened', what a shame.
