IPhone 5 not finding carrier?

I was on the phone talking to a friend and my phone powered off because of low battery and then when I got home I charged it and now on the top left corner where it's supposed to say how much signal I have and "Verizon", it says "searching" and hasn't found service at all for about 6 hours now! I've tried turning off and on, airplane mode, and all that hasn't worked! What do I do?

Start it up

Reboot it, if that doesn't work, restore t. Be sure to back up anything important.

This happened to me with my iPhone 5 as well. I was able to fix the issue by just taking out the sim card and putting it back in again. If that still doesn't work, then you may have to go to your carrier or an apple store to get your sim replaced.

  • Lost my iphone? Probability of finding it? Lost my iPhone on a mountain trail this weekend. I had the find my iPhone and was able to trace the phone at a Starbucks today but after that it has been ofline. What is the probability of finding my iPhone? If the person that has it decides to keep it to themselves but have it off or take the battery out of it? Will sprint be able to trace the phone if the person already took the battery out? I'm thinking of just activating my old phone for now.
