"Could Not Activate Cellular Data Network" HELP!!

Woke up this morning & my iphone is having some issues. It will not get my emails, check facebook or any other apps that use cell data, or send texts (SMS or imessages). I can make & receive calls but no voicemails.

I have done a restart, soft reset, and reset the cellular date. When I connect to Wi-Fi it works fine. My bills are paid and the other iphone on the plan is working fine.

Please help!

Thanks!

Do you have roaming on and have you done *228. Mine has trouble but other iPhones in our house doesent sometimes. Mine temp goes 3G and the all sudden goes back to 1x or the message you got. They say could be antenna if no outage.

SMS doesent need data. I had tech look settings so they changed one for optimal service.

That doesn't sound like fun bigmamasquats! Are you still having difficulties? Was this happening only in one location? Was it indoors or outside? Did you try to restore the device with iTunes? I have attached a helpful link. Please let us know if you still are having difficulties. bit.ly/f2OMMN

Hi musicfreak110,

It sounds like you've been working hard to get your phone up and working. With everything you've mentioned that you've tried, I would suggest following the steps in this Apple article  http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone, which will also go all the way through a restore of the phone if needed as a final step. When all else fails, the restore certainly does the trick to resolve many issues on the iPhone.

Thank you
