iOS 6.1 show no service randomly since beta1

I tried iOS 6.1 beta1.2.3.4.5 and now the final release all the versions showing NO SERVICE randomly at places with full coverage and I can only kick it to work by reset network setting and the network came back for few minutes then NO service again.


steps I made so far

1- restore to 6.1 betas and final release

2- update from 6.0.2 to 6.1 final release (today)

3- tried different carriers.

4- switched off the LTE / 3G .


non of the above steps worked I'm sure there is bugs causing this issue and it's still in the final release .


one thing I didn't try yet ( climbing the cell tower)😝


please tell me if any one facing the same issue?


P.S it happen to 4 iphones 5 mine and brother's

When the signal comes back does the phone work (until it loses signal)?


Was the phone purchased as unlocked from Apple, from an authorized carrier, or from an independent non-Apple store?


Have you checked with your carrier for a local network outage that may have happened around the time you did the upgrade?


One thing to try is a restore using iTunes, and set up as a new phone. Back up the iPhone first to your computer AND to iCloud (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262). If you still have the problem after restoring as a new phone then how it was unlocked becomes important. If the problem is resolved, try restoring your backup using iTunes.

The same is happening to me, with the release of 6.1

Phone worked perfectly before I updated from 6.0.2


I tried:
Reset Network Settings

Restore From Backup

Restore as a new phone


Nothing worked.


It isn't unlocked, I purchased it from the Apple Store with a 2 year AT&T contract.


Phone can't be used for anything now that isn't Wi-Fi. Even then, with the constant "network searching" problem, the battery just runs out too fast.


Thanks, Lawrence.
