- First make sure airplane mode is off and restart the phone.
- Try the SIM card in another phone: if it has no service there either, the line or card is the problem.
- Your carrier’s store or customer service can help with line or card problems.
- Resetting network settings does not delete your data.
- If the SIM works in another phone, the phone’s SIM tray or network hardware should be checked.
01What does “No service” mean?
When the phone cannot connect to the network, it shows “No service” or “No network”. You cannot make calls, send messages or use mobile data. The cause can be the phone, but also the line or the area.
02Step-by-step fix
- Check airplane mode. If it is on, turn it off; if it is off, turn it on and off again after a few seconds.
- Restart the phone. The network connection is set up again.
- Remove and reinsert the SIM. Wipe it with a clean cloth and make sure it sits fully.
- Try the SIM in another phone. This shows whether the card or the phone is at fault.
- Reset network settings. On Android: Settings › General management (or System) › Reset; on iPhone: Settings › General › Transfer or Reset iPhone › Reset › Reset Network Settings.
- Ask your carrier. They can tell you about local outages, line restrictions or a faulty card.
Menu names vary by brand and software version.
