Why is my iPhone 5c stuck on 'searching'?

Since about 12 yesterday my phone has been stuck with 'searching' and nothing else. I've tried everything from power button reset to full factory reset, including every fix that I've seen on the Internet. There's also nothing wrong with my network in my area. So what's wrong with it?

Maybe restart it

  • Why is my iphone 6 saying searching? I'm connected to Wi-Fi but my phone says searching on top, i have verizon wireless. I tried taking it to verizon AND apple. I reset my network settings, checked my SIMS card, and even restored my phone. Nothing works? What do i do?
  • Why does my IPhone say searching? I have an IPhone 5 and the other night i turned it off and when i turned it back on i couldn't get any service anywhere. In the top left corner of the screen where it says the company name and how much service you have all it says now is "searching… " I tried turning it off and back on but it doesn't help at all. I can't call or text anyone, I can't receive calls or texts, and I can't go on the internet. Any help?
  • Why does my iPhone 5c say Searching. At the top? It's not the SIM card that's messed up, it's something inside the phone. What could it be?
  • Stuck iPhone 4 lock button! Stuck/Stripped screws Okay so, I've had this stupid panda case on my phone and it jammed my lock button. It still works if you push super hard from the side, but no clicking sound. I saw how to fix it by opening my phone up but the screws won't come out no matter what! I tried a screwdriver alone, with duct tape, rubber band, double sided tape, everything! I don't have a warranty on my phone, and I'm looking for a super inexpensive (>$5) way to fix it, any ideas?
