I dropped my iphone 5c and the cellular functions stopped working. It constantly says "searching." Only wifi will work. Is this fixable?

But I have never heard of someone dropping their phone and all of a sudden it can not make calls or send texts.

I have. It's quite possible for the cellular radio to become dislodged, or depending on where it was dropped, for the SIM tray to be damaged.

However, to rule out the possibility of a software issue...

Try resetting:

Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

Hi.i have similar problem,but without dropping my iPhone 5s. iPhone searching second day for cellular. Just lost signal without any reason. I tried switch on and off, restart,change sim card. Nothing helps. Wifi and all other function work fine. what I can do now?

Make sure you have covered everything here

Then take to an Apple store genius bar for evaluation

Do you know how much something like this would cost? I just bought my phone from a 3rd party and it will not stay connected to any network. No warranty.

Hi

You need to make an appointment at Apple store For repair or out of warranty replacement you will need to pay part of the cost.
