iPhone 4S "no service" problem

hello all,


Just got my iPhone 4S 18hrs ago and it wen to "no service" like 3 times (so far)!!

  • I have changed carrier setting to manual I can select my network but still "no service"
  • I turned on then off "airplane mode" it goes searching... then "no service"
  • it only work when I restart or reinsert the SIM


Is this common? do I have to worry ?


Appreciate your inputs.


Thanks,

Abdullah

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.

Same problem in USA.Have iPhone 4 for work and iPad2. Working fine for years. In same location all day w excellent coverage.


Just bought Iphone 4s for personal use. Random no signal, searching for network, unable to make/receive calls without powering on off several times a day. Have latest iOS on all three devices. No problem at all with other devices. This is not an ATT network issue. I work for AT&T & have done all necessary troubleshooting, resets, etc It's Apple hardware or software. I Put sim from iPhone 4 in 4S and 4s sim in 4 and same problem w 4S.. not the sim. Epic fail.

Yes I have the "No Service" issue and others as well.


I see Apple doesn't like the L word when it pretains to them.


While they are busy doing it, we are waisting time trying to make our iTouch 4S work as stated
