hey what is going on guys so you have a
iPhone 7 iPhone 8 8 plus 7 plus and you
have an issue where it's not reading
your network card or your SIM card
basically it says up here no service or
is constantly saying searching I'm gonna
give you a bunch of different methods to
get your iPhone back up and running
sometimes it takes one of these methods
sometimes it's a combination of two or
three methods to get it to start working
first thing is this go ahead and turn
your phone off press and hold the power
button or the sleep button here go ahead
and slide it off wait about 10 seconds
then go ahead and power the phone back
on and then from here hopefully you see
your network name or your bars that you
know you're up and running if yours not
working next thing I want you to do is
grab your sim ejection tool here you can
use this you can use a thin like bobby
pin or even a back of a stud earring if
it's really thin just go ahead and
insert it into the sim tray the hole
right there go ahead and give it a
little push go ahead and pop out the SIM
tray you can see the sim card here take
the SIM card out and then what I want
you to do is rub on the metal contacts
with your thumb okay
just like rub it you may even sometimes
have to get like a napkin here just rub
it a little bit and now we're going to
go ahead and place it back into the SIM
tray make sure that it is in there
properly now go ahead and grab your
phone and the hole where the SIM tray
goes into what I want you to do is blow
in there really really hard now and your
phone is still on - okay so go ahead and
grab the SIM card SIM tray go ahead and
place it in there push that in here
giving it a minute or so and hopefully
it's gonna find your network if it's not
we're gonna go to the next step now for
the next step here is what we're going
to do is force your iPhone to do a
restart okay so for the iPhone 8 and 8
plus we do it this way we're going to
press the volume up volume down and then
press and hold the power
and continue to hold the power button
until we see the Apple logo okay again
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus ready volume
up volume down press and hold the power
button do not let go that power button
continue to hold it until we see the
Apple logo I'm still holding on to the
power button I'm not going to let go I'm
not gonna let go until I see that Apple
logo wait for it to appear it's coming
there it is now I can go ahead and let
go and hopefully your phone is back up
and running now if you have the iPhone 7
or 7 plus it's a different key
combination you're gonna have to press
and hold two buttons down simultaneously
it's going to be the volume down button
and the power button okay
volume down power button you want to
press and hold both buttons same time
press and hold and continue to hold
until we see the Apple logo okay follow
along here ready 1 2 3 press and hold
the volume down and the power power
button I'm still holding onto both the
buns I'm not gonna let go until I see
that Apple logo appear I'm still holding
I'm not gonna let go ok now I can go
ahead and let go wait for your phone to
boot back up give it in a minute and
hopefully you now have service if you
don't we're gonna move on to the next
step so the next step here is go ahead
and login to your phone here go into
your settings here and then the first
one up here says airplane mode turn it
on/off on/off on and then turn it back
off and give it a minute and see if it
finds your network if not we're going to
move to the next step next up is stay in
the settings here and this time it's
going to scroll down to where it says do
not disturb tap on do not disturb and up
here it says do not disturb toggle it on
off on off on off now give it a second
and see if it finds your network if not
we're going to move to the next step the
next step is go back into your settings
here and then from your settings you
want to go ahead and you want to go down
to cellular tap on say layer and then on
right here it says cell data on/off
on off on off on give it a minute
hopefully you will see your service pack
up and running if not the next option
down here cellular data options tap on
that okay
you see I have roaming off here data
roaming off you can tap on off on off on
off and then leave it the way you
usually leave it okay some of you guys
may get charged for data roaming if you
leave it on there and a find your
network you're going to be charged for
roaming ok I for me I can leave it on
because I don't get charged for data
roaming pretty much anywhere in the
world anyways leave it on the one that
you prefer and then just go back and
hopefully find your service if not we're
gonna go to the next section here so if
it didn't find your network next thing
you want to do is go down here where it
says network selection tap on that and
right now is mine says automatic turn it
off ok now it's going to give me a
selection here I'll turn it back on off
on and now I'm gonna go ahead and wait a
minute and see if my service back up if
it's not I'm gonna go ahead and turn it
back off and I'm gonna wait for it to
give me a selection hopefully you guys
had this if you don't think you can just
skip to the next step anyways I know I
have like t-mobile then I would just
select on t-mobile give it a minute and
see if my phone's back up and running
anyway so I'll keep mine on automatic
here and it's still not up we're gonna
move to the next step here now the next
step here we're going to reset your
network settings ok tap on settings and
then from here go down to where it says
general tap on general and then go all
the way down near the very bottom where
it says reset here tap on reset and now
watch very closely because what we want
to do is a reset network settings we
don't want to reset all settings we
don't want to erase all content and
settings we want to reset network
settings so let me go and tap on that
and then from here you got to go ahead
and enter your password and then from
here if you look down here I get this
message here this will delete all
network settings returning them to
factory defaults now what does that mean
first of all you're not gonna lose no
photos or videos or anything like that
this is going to reset your network
settings so basically when I go ahead
and click this reset network settings
it's going to go ahead and reboot my
phone once my phone is back up I will
all of my like Wi-Fi networks my Wi-Fi
passwords and I'll have to go ahead and
reenter them so go ahead and tap on that
and then once your phone reboots your
phone should be back up and running it
should have found the service if it
didn't we're going to go to the next
step here so the next step here may
sound kind of crazy but this has worked
on other iPhones okay so first thing is
this go ahead and press on your phone
all in the back especially where the SIM
card tray is okay so you see the SIM
card tray go ahead and press on it okay
you'll basically want to press on the
screen and the back ok so press all
around they're all on the screen all
around turn it over as well get it on
the back go ahead and give it some
pressure all around the phone and now I
mean it's still not working then I want
you to do this okay this sounds crazy
but sometimes when you drop your phone
and stuff like that it'll get the your
phone will actually find the network put
it on the back of your hand like on your
palm like this and give it a few whacks
give it a minute
see if your see if you found your
network if not give it a few whacks
again and then see if it worked
now if that didn't work then your last
step is try to do a factory reset with a
factory reset you will lose all of your
data and everything so hopefully you
have a backup on iTunes you can just go
ahead and restore your iPhone back to
original settings I'm not going to show
you how to do that you can go ahead and
search that on YouTube there's a
thousand videos on how to do it it's
quite easy to do there's also a
possibility that your SIM card may have
an issue what you can always try to do
too is grab your SIM card put into
another phone and see if it registers
and it finds your network
another possibility - it could be
actually something could be corroded or
something inside of your SIM tray socket
as well anyways most of you guys are
going to have your service back up and
running right now guys let me know what
step work for you and that's pretty much
it thanks for watching guys see you in
the next one bye
