What to do if there is no connection with the operator on the iPhone

The use of iPhone gadgets has its own nuances, so if you are faced with the fact that the phone does not find the operator’s signal, do not panic - this can happen to anyone. There are many reasons because of which the iPhone does not see the network, they concern the settings of the device or external faults. Let's look at why there are problems and what to do to fix them.

The problem with the connection on the iPhone is not unique, but there are options for its quick solution

Network Setup

First of all, try to just reboot the device - perhaps a slight glitch occurred in the system.

If this does not work, we turn to the settings of the iPhone. Why is there no connection with the operator? In most cases, the problem with finding a network arises due to incorrect time zone settings and time. To check this, follow these steps:

  • Go to the settings menu and turn on Wi-Fi.
  • Return to the basic settings, select the Date and Time menu.
  • Here you will see the line “Automatic” - this function allows the device to independently determine the time zone and time. Put the button in the active position or, if the line is on, turn off and then re-activate this mode.
  • Wait about a minute, restart the phone.

Sometimes the device does not catch the signal due to the fact that the operator does not provide its services in a particular region. To check if this is in reality, go to the menu with the operation modes and select the “Airplane Mode” option - turn it on, wait a few seconds. Then turn it off - after these actions, the network will reboot, after which the iPhone will search for a signal.

If there are no changes, check the settings of your provider. To do this, do the following:

  • Open your iPhone, Operator.
  • Make sure the automatic detection of the settings is set.

Search for updates

Your iPhone may not catch the signal due to the fact that you have not installed the latest updates for the system - they are necessary for the gadget to work correctly. Go to the item "About this device", if you see that there are new system files for the iPhone, connect to the Internet and start the update process.

Note. If you do not have the opportunity for one reason or another to connect to the Internet from your phone, connect it to your computer, go to iTunes, start the search for updates and install them.

Faults after factory unlocking

Why is there no network after activating the iPhone? If after the factory unlocking the device does not catch the signal, it means that the card itself sees it, you just need to fix the problem in the parameters.

To do this, reset the settings - insert the SIM card, go to the General settings, the Reset item, and stop at the “Reset network settings” option.

Signal troubles arise when the iPhone is activated using SAMPrefs or Redsnow. If the unlock was successful, but there is still no connection, you need to reset the smartphone settings, which is done in the following way:

  • Insert the SIM card and connect it to the computer, open iTunes.
  • Make a backup, then click on the restore point.
  • After the recovery is complete, you will be prompted to restore the iPhone from an existing backup or to recognize it as a new device - select the second option.
  • After the activation procedure, the phone will search for the network and connect to it.

Note. If the iPhone is still programmed to work with AT & T, it will not catch the signal from Russian providers anyway. It is necessary to unlock the IMEY number - for this it is best to contact a specialist.

Other reasons for the lack of a network

The iPhone may not catch the signal due to external problems with the card or the mobile equipment itself. This happens in such cases:

  • If the SIM card was cut incorrectly, the phone may recognize it incorrectly - contact your service provider directly and order the correct card for iPhone.
  • In the mobile device, there were problems with the antenna - in such a situation, you need to contact the specialists and have the device repaired.

If you insert another SIM card and it catches the network, the problem concerns a particular operator - it has blocked the card you want to use. This happens for the following reasons:

  • Communication is inactive, because you do not have funds in your account or you have not fulfilled other conditions for the provision of communication services.
  • The card is blocked by IMEY code. In this case, contact the service center to activate it.

As you can see, various factors can influence the work of the network in the iPhone, but all the problems that have arisen are quite easy to fix and in most cases it can be done independently and without wasting time and money.
