iPhone: “No Service” Message Problem: How to fix

That everything is going well when everything is going well. The most normal thing is that our mobiles work correctly, but problems can appear at any time. One of the most common and most crazy iPhone users is when the famous message “No service” or “Searching” appears . Let’s see why these messages are displayed and the best ways to fix it.

Our iPhone is used for much more than talking on the phone or connecting to the Internet. However, the message “No Service” or “Searching” can leave us isolated without the possibility of receiving calls, and even without mobile data . There are several factors that can influence these messages to appear. If we find ourselves in this situation, we can carry out various checks to try to find the cause of the problem.

How to fix the problem

Check the coverage area

It is important and the first logical step to try to find the problem. For this we must verify that we are in an area with mobile network coverage. Then we follow these steps:

Check mobile data: To enable or disable mobile data , go to Settings and tap Mobile data.
If you are in a different country than usual, we must verify that our iPhone is configured for data roaming. For this we go to Settings> Mobile data> Options> Data roaming.

Restart iPhone

In many cases, a simple system reboot can fix the problems and make the message disappear. To carry it out we will have to carry out the following steps: Hold down the side button and one of the volume buttons until the Turn off slider appears. Then we drag the slider and wait 30 seconds until the device turns off. Now all you have to do is turn on the device, pressing and holding the side button (on the right side of the iPhone) until the Apple logo appears.

Update operator settings

Another reason is that there has been a mismatch in the network options of our operator. To manually search for and install an operator settings update : We will need to make sure we are connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile network. Then we go to Settings> General> Information. In case there is an update available, we will see the option to update the settings of our operator. In case of introducing a new SIM card in the iPhone, we will have to download the settings of the new operator.

Remove SIM card

It is also one of the ways that we will have to take into account before ruling out other problems. Removing the SIM card and putting it back, either due to dust accumulation or because it has been able to move, is something that often solves the failure . Removing the SIM card may vary from one model to another, but we can consult all the methods from this link.

Reset network settings

It is a method that allows you to eliminate any previously configured parameter, in order to try to make any conflict that may have arisen disappear. We have to go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset network settings. This action also resets the Wi-Fi networks and their passwords, the mobile data settings and the VPN and APN settings that you used before.

What if everything fails?

If after all the previous steps the problem continues, we may have to contact Apple Technical Service to try to find the solution, as it could be due to a hardware problem that is beyond our control.
