My phone said "No Service" or "emergency service only" suddenly. - General Questions and Answers

My phone failed to make any calls and text messages suddenly the day before yesterday.
It said "No Service" or "emergency service only". It was also unable to connect to internet on 4G or 3G.
After restarting several times and moving anywhere, it didn't work yet.
So I went to a customer center of my carrier yesterday. It replaced my SIM card.
Now it resumes and works well till now.
For your reference.

[Q] No Service since new battery put on charge

I have galaxy sl, android 2.3.6.
I have bought the new battery and it was working perfectly till I put on recharge. Immediately after I put it for charge, it is showing "No Service" It does not receive any network coverage; simple shows "No Service"
When I choose "WCDMA Only" it gives "Emergency Calls only" and turns to "No Service" when reverted to GSM or Auto mode.
Everything else is working fine.
Any solutions to this?

And that was weird. Have you tried putting your old battery?

Cannot "Search Network" for the right carrier (SIM-card) while roaming.

I am from India and travel between two cities every month. For City-A I use "Vodafone" and for City-B I use "Airtel". My Google Nexus has the latest OTA updates but the moment I leave the Home network, the phone goes into "Emergency call only" mode.
My location being neither Home Network of either of my SIM.
When I "Search Network" I get the following result:
When the Vodaphone SIM is inserted it shows "Airtel IN" , "IN Loop" and other carriers but not "Vodafone IN".
When Airtel SIM is inserted it shows "Vodafone IN" but not "Airtel IN". Wrote to google but got no response. Got new SIM, same result. Really frustating :crying:

G930W8 on Bell - no lte, emergency calls only

There are two S7 flats in my house. My phone often displays the "emergency calls only" message and will not connect to LTE. Only hspa+. I only made a few calls lately and most have been fine, except today I had to try a call twice after watching my phone sit and not connect a call.
My wife's phone is fine. I've tried rebooting and it does fix it for a while, then it eventually does the same thing again.
Earlier before a reboot I tried forcing LTE in service mode, but it wouldn't grab a signal.
Anyone else have these symptoms?
I'm on latest stock mm.

Straight Talk LG Style 4 - Verizon sim / towers

So I bought the phone and a 35$ service card three days ago from Wal-Mart. Activated the phone around 3am that night. Phone hasnt worked once. No calling, texting or using data. Ive contacted ST CS numerous times with no help. Im told the same everytime. Dial *73 then turn off and back on, if that doesn't work repeat. Well it wont even let me dial * numbers. Pops up sim not registered, sim not provisioned, contact service provider. So whats what ive done. Yet they keep telling me my service and phone are active so they cant do anything. Ive seen a lot of people say to get an ATT sim and use that instead of the Verizon sim, and that will do the trick.
My phone number doesnt show up in settings. Network type doesnt. Cant edit or add or delete APN. PRL is blank in settings and no way to change it. Does anybody have any ideas or advice on what to do to fix all these issues???? I have 4 bars at all times but my service says 1x and yet i cant make calls or texts. Calls say im roaming and to buy a service card if I wanna make calls. Texts get stuck on sending then minutes later pop up they failed.

Are you certain that you activated the device correctly and entered the SIM card number correctly when you activated the device?
Give me an accurate and descriptive breakdown of the exact steps you took when you activated the device and SIM.
BTW, AT&T SIMs are for GSM devices, not CDMA devices, if your device is a Straight Talk device, your device is a CDMA device. I doubt an AT&T SIM will help.

I mean, I'm assuming I did everything right lol. I followed the steps the ST website took me thru. Phones brand new, never been activated. Brand new sim. I went to the website, chose activate, chose I have a ST phone, input my zip, input IMEI, input SIM #, input service pin, created my account, updated profile settings, restarted phone. The app says my service is active, the website says its active, ST CS says its active on their end. But I can't call or text or use data. My network type is 1xRTT. I have 4-5 bars at all times. When I try to call regular numbers, I get a "you are roaming, to place calls please purchase a service card" or something along those lines. When I try to call *73 like ST keeps telling me, it says sim not registered, sim not provisioned, contact service provider.

No Service after turning on Mobile Data

I have a network issue with my OnePlus 8T. Whenever I enter an area that doesn't have great signal, if my phone connects to 4G, I completely lose all signal and the phone will read "No Service" or "Emergency Calls Only". The best thing I can do is toggle Airplane mode or restart the phone to fix it. The issue does not occur if I set my phone to 2G/3G only. My phone will have signal absolutely everywhere, there isn't a spot that I know of that doesn't get reception. However, the moment I tap "Mobile Data", if the phone connects to 4G and the signal isn't 50% or better. My phone just loses all network on the spot and refuses to return unless I do the two things I listed above. I've been in contact with my service provider, tried swapping SIM slots and cards, reset my network, verified APN is properly setup. Just about everything by now. Does anybody know of a possible solution to this?
