Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPhone now shows no service. If your device is not unlocked, see the first article below for steps on unlocking your device.
How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier
If your device has been approved for unlock and you are still experiencing an issue with no service or searching, see the steps in the article below.

If it is locked to a Carrier in UAE then only they can release it .

My iPhone 4s was purchased from UAE and used in India. It worked fine for 3-4 months but now its not accessing any network available here. Local vendors are saying that the phone is locked and can be unlocked only in country of purchase i.e. UAE. The phone is lying useless, I want to get it all right and can`t afford its unserviceability. Plase help
If it worked for a while what did you do that might have resulted in a change? For example, did you update iOS? If so this may mean that the phone was hacked to unlock it, and the update removed the hack.
Do you get an error message that says "The SIM is not valid?" If you don't get this message then the phone is unlocked, and should work. If you DO get this message then you must have the carrier it is locked to unlock it.
