iPhone 3GS no service and cutting out wifi - GSM-Forum

Dobro Player · 10-11-2011, 03:14

Hi everybody, my iPhone 3GS is not connecting to the cell phone network. At first it displays "Searching..." then "No Service". About every four minutes it displays the message "Could not activate cellular data network" and disconnects the wifi. If I go into Settings>Carrier it says "Searching" and after a while it displays the message "Unable to load network list". If I go into Settings>General>About, under "Carrier" it says "Telstra 10.0", which is my brand of sim card. How do I stop the phone disconnecting the wifi every time it brings up the message "Could not activate cellular data network", and how do I get it to connect to the cell network?

If the antenna wasn't connected properly or was damaged could that cause it? Or is this a software issue?
