Check the cell signal    icon in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no 
bars, or if it says “No service,” try moving to a different location. If you’re indoors, try 
going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier’s  
website to see network coverage areas.
If the cellular network is not available, connect to a Wi-Fi network if possible. 
Make sure airplane mode isn’t on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn  
airplane mode off. If that doesn’t work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then 
turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that  
you use to send or receive text messages.
Turn iPhone off and back on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of

and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. Tap Unlock and enter 
your SIM’s PIN if the SIM is locked.
Important: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact 
your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
There may be a problem with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your  
carrier’s website.
If you’re traveling abroad, you may not have Internet access because Data Roaming

Roaming. Data roaming charges may apply.
Important: Data roaming charges may apply. To avoid data roaming charges, turn 
Data Roaming off.
