What happens when an iphone breaks and somone calls it?

When an iphone completely breaks, what happens when someone calls it. Like does it go straight to voicemail, or does it say like this number is no longer in service what happens?

As long as the bill is paid, voice calls go to voice mail which you'll be able to check. Text messages will be stored on the server until you get a new phone. Then you'll get them all.

Depends on what defines "breaks". If its just broken physically but still able to turn on then calls would come as normal. If it can't power on then of course calls would go straight to voicemail as if the phone was off.

  • What will happen to my iPhone 5 if it breaks now? OK, last year I got an iPhone 5 (no android fanboys please) and love it. I live in the UK and am on Contract with EE. (with 4G). I was wondering It';s insured so in case it breaks I'll get sent a new one. Will I still receive an iPhone 5, after it's been discontinued by Apple following the launch of the 5C and 5S? I don't need an upgrade, I'm just confused! Please help. (Remember, UK). Yes, just to be clear, they aren't making iPhone 5 anymore.
  • What happens if you buy a iPhone of eBay and it happens to be stolen? I typed in a serial number of an iPhone into apple checker and it said the phone has not been activated? The phone is still sealed in its box is the phone ok to buy?
  • What happens if my teacher breaks my iPhone? I was NOT being reprimanded, I had it on my desk (which we're allowed to do) and he saw my case and because he liked it, he decided to pick it up and dropped my iPhone causing it to shatter. Is he responsible for replacing it? I was just at a loss of words at that moment lol
  • What Happens If My Iphone 4s Breaks? I got the Iphone 4s last year, and my plan doesn't end until next year, but I noticed on the Verizon Wireless site that they don't sell the 4s Anymore… So if something were to happen to my 4s would I get a newer Iphone?
