hello all,
Just got my iPhone 4S 18hrs ago and it wen to "no service" like 3 times (so far)!!
Is this common? do I have to worry ?
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks,
Abdullah
iPhone 4S-OTHER, iOS 5, iMac, iPad
I had the same problem today, once I put the phone on airplane mode then turned it off it showed service again. If this continues I will take it back to the store.
Having the same issues with my 4S in Brazil since the update to iOS5.0.1. I keep losing signal, I can't text or even call, i need to turn off then on the phone so it works for a couple minutes. Sad.
Apple, read this, help us please.
That doesn't work for me! Worked for about 5 minutes and then the servive went off, again.

I have the same issue just started with 5.0.1 update. Only way to use the phone is to turn off the cellular data. How sad..
i have the same issue...after updated to ios 5.0.1 the network problem has began....every 10 to 5 minutes it shows searching or no service......and also the battery problem is not solved yet!!!!my iphone is made in week 41 DN......
Guys, it seems to many people having the same problem for different reasons.. i guess. It's frustrating when you get the new iPhone 4S just to solve the reception problem in iPhone 4 and it turns it's even worse.
My guess: I don't think the problem in the device, it could be from from your SIM or from your mobile carrier.. you may try to reset your network settings from Rest menu in General or setup your iPhone as new device [don't restore from iPhone 4] it might work.
My problem is solved [ I was this close to return my iPhone 4S to Apple for replacement] then I thought why not to try to change my SIM... thank god it worked 🙂 try to do the same.
all the best,
Abdullah
The same problem here.
sometimes "no service", sometimes can not make any call or sms when it shows signal fine. Maybe only 5~10% time my iphone 4S is connected to network and get some missed call alert. 😟
All happened just after upgrade to 5.0.1 via OTA.
Apple, do something!!
Replace your SIM was what the guy at Vodafone Australia suggested to me. I was using a microsim from another iPhone and popped it in this, he didn't use these words but the SIM was fried by the iPhone and a new SIM did the trick. If of course you have a new SIM then I have no idea. Crack on...
Changing the sim didn't solve my issue... I still have the same problem.
i have the same problem since the 5.0.1, updated last night, went out directly and could not connect to my carrier (turkcell - turkey) except sporadic occasions...
the phone worked ok before the update btw... i hope apple releases another quick update addressing this issue, since it is always better to be able to use your phone at all compared to being able to use it with a fast draining battery... 🙂
Turning cellular data did not work, you are right. The drop is less frequent but still occurs. Apple please hear us, we can't use our brand new devices!!
Same problem here. Everything fine until updating to iOS 5.0.1 then BIG signal problems. Dropped calls, invalid SIM messages and unable to do anything over 3G. Tried most of the solutions above. Now got a new SIM and done a full restore. Looks ok at the moment but that's happened a few times before dropping again before now so fingers crossed. If it doesn't work I've got a genius bar appointment this evening so we'll see how it goes!
Please sort this out Apple - there are obviously a few of us!
Restore complete - sadly, I just had to restart the phone in order to send a text message so it doesn't look as if it's worked. Oh well, off to Apple later...
tjm135, could you please provide us the info you've received after your appointment, it will be much appreciated... 🙂
