No service and searching?

My iphone has recently started saying "no service" and "searching", and I need a fix. Preferably I can fix on my own, without needing to go to Apple. Any suggestion helps.

You didn't pay for service. It's also your fault for owning a faulty device.

Try turning the phone off then back on again. Try taking the SIM card out and putting it back in. Try from a different location.

Try Resetting your Network Settings

You are in spots where the signal is weak! If you are at home, your Wi-Fi is best nearest your modem and router - but if it is not good in OTHER parts of your house, then you need either a mesh network (covers the house) or at least a signal extender. That is all we needed - big house, just an odd turn that made signal weak where we hang out most. Got a Netgear - there are many, Check on Amazon. These are Really EASY to set up - and then, you are set. Now if the signal coming to your HOUSE is not good - that is something you have to call your provider about - and they Send A Guy… I have all kinds of apps on my phone so that when we travel in the US or overseas, I can find good signal - and free, if I can.

  • Sprint Iphone 4 goes from 5 bars to No service and Searching? I called sprint and they tried everything on their end and told me to reset the network settings, even resetting the entire phone, and nothing helped. I read somewhere that the antenna is touchy on these phones and wearing a case may help? I would like to hear any fixes and if anyone else has had these issues. It worked completely fine the first day I had it and then it just started losing service for no reason.
  • Searching for a free Wi-Fi service or, a low-cost Wi-Fi service for myself? Have recently lost everything and must be able to search the web to find help. I do have phone service, no Wi-Fi. Have iphone and apple laptop. Any replies/answers are much appreciated… Thank you.
  • My IPhone 5C has no service and says Searching. How do I fix it? It doesn't let me text or make calls. We tried buying a new phone and that didn't work so we went and got a new SIM card and that didn't work. I reset my network settings and that didn't work. Anybody have any ideas?
  • My Iphone 3gs says no service/searching. What can I do? I have a 3gs that has been unlocked. The TMobile sim card is in, but it says searching/no service. The carrier does say TMobile. I went through troubleshooting with TMobile and nothing. IOS is 6.0.1 and baseband is 05.16.08.
