My iphone 5 goes "no service".

When my iphone 5 goes out of network, "no service" shows. But the phone doesn't search for network, even if there is, untill I tell the phone to search for network. Why?

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Well, I repeat..⚠

I've done a reset of the device...and I did NOT synced the phone with iTune AT ALL (got to DL my old apps manually directly from AppStore)

Since than I didn't not encountered any problem YET...


It seems that android users who has phones that enable multiple networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA also has problem with the phone switching from 2g to 3G to 3G+ HSPA+ .

The problem might be on the operator provider side ( THREE 3 - in my case) .. or on the phone...(software) ...

I called Apple today and they will send me a new phone.


A couple of hours ago I got an message that iOS 6.0.1 was out so I updated my phone, and then made my phone get "no service" (put it under my leg when I sit in my couch). Then I took it out again where I know I have service but even after a few minutes I still had not got service back until I did flight mode on/off. So the problems does not seem to be fixed in iOS 6.0.1 either.


Will be back when I get my new phone and tell you how it goes.

My iphone 5 goes "no service".
