My iPhone 6 is stuck on Signal Search mode

Please try toggling "Airplane mode".

Next try toggling "Celluar Data".

If that doesn't work try "Reset network settings".

Eject out the SIM see if the contacts are still clean, then push SIM back in to see if a carrier signal can be found.

To make sure that the cell tower closest to you are not down, check your other cell phones (if they are on the same carrier).

If that is not an option, then try relocation to another place, eg drive to another location.

If all else fails see if you can borrow someone else's SIM card (must be same carrier), or go visit your carrier's store. They could check your SIM and replace it if necessary. If a SIM that works on another phone but not yours (at the same location, same time, then you should take it to Apple for repair/exchange.

I am from Cochin, India. Facing the same in my iphone 4s. ie; Searching .....for signal for last 1 week. But not working. Did all the checks mentioned above. Any solution? Is it better to replace the phone? If yes, how much it will cost in INR ?

Hi,

I'm from Israel and I also have the same problem that began today. I have an iPhone 6 bought from the US in november and today it suddenly didn't connect to a cellular network (stuck in searching). The SIM works on other phone, and my iphone still didn't find a network with another SIM.

I tried all the following with no luck:

- Reset Network, eject SIM, different SIM

- Upgraded to 8.2 from 8.1.2

- Upgraded to 8.3

- Reset Network again

It's so annoying, confusing and disappointing, I feel I can't do anything now, I do not have a backup phone and I need a phone for work, life, etc....

I feel like I threw $700 US down the drain.

Luckily I have a friend going to SF next week and I'll try to send it back with him for repair or replacement in the US.

Meanwhile I'll suffer with whatever phone I can borrow from some friends.

I have the same "searching" issues. I made my last call, put my call, took a nap for an hour and woke up to an iPhone 6 thats forever searching for network...

I tried all tricks with no luck, including restoring the iOS from the resort file "iPhone7,2_8.4_12H143_Restore.ipsw".

I am stuck with an iPhone that is reduced to an iPod. everything else works, but not the phone services.

Also bought mine abroad and all the iStore is RSA cannot do replace my phone...

This is frustrating...

I live in Dallas-Ft Worth, Texas area and had the same issue and also was about to travel. Makes you wonder if there trying to trick you into a new phone after you buy a calling plan for your travel. I found with the phone turned on and hold down the power and home buttons at the same time for a few seconds the phone will turn off and start back up. After doing that it started working and has good signal. Hope this helps someone!

My Husband has the same issue with his iphone 6. However their is a solution for that troubleshooting the phone

by resetting the network setting, turning the phone off and turning it back on.

Doing a factory reset, by holding the power button and the middle button at the same time allowing the phone to power off.

If that does not work pull the sim card out within 5 second then push it back again, that worked for me.

Seem to me that after updating the phone to the 10.12 We starting getting the signal searching issue.

Simple advice this is not a fix solution you might have to reset your phone often every time you lose signal it could be a hardware issue.

You probably will have to look into purchasing a new phone or if you have insurance exchanging it will help.

But for the mean time this steps will help using this will help.

Hope it works for you as well 🙂
