iphone 4s 16 gb carrier "searching"


Dear friends
Recently i purchased a new iphone 4s 16 gb without bill, it works fine for the past 8-9 monthsm but now it is only showing "Searching" instead of showing carrier name. Please help...to fix it.

The steps i done:-
Restored via itunes more than 5 times
airplane on/off
date and time manual settings.

Recently i found after removing the sim then also it is showing "searching" and the location services are not working.

yes u r correct, even though call function is not working the device is a good option the camera, music, everything... and if u r getting wifi u can still surf net and add apps etc,
one of ma frnd is using the same condition iphone like this and he is using a portable wifi hotspot device to access web anywhere anytime,

Very simple solution for the iphone 4s is Date & Time, if you change something an you put out the akku the time will set it 01.01.1970 and there is the problem. The iphone is searching. Pleas set the time & date to the correct time & date and restart the iphone and it will solve the problem.
