It\u2019s not common, but the iPhone\u2019s cellular radio can occasionally get confused. Luckily, you can easily fix the problem. Open Control Center (swipe down from the upper-right corner on an iPhone X or later or an iPad; or up from the bottom on an earlier iPhone) and tap the airplane icon to put the iPhone in airplane mode. That turns off the cellular radio. Wait a few seconds and tap the airplane icon again to re-enable the cellular radio. If that doesn\u2019t work, power-cycle your iPhone by holding the side or Sleep\/Wake button until you see the Power Off slider. Slide it to turn the iPhone off, then press and hold the side or Sleep\/Wake button again until the iPhone restarts. If this doesn&#8217;t work visit one of our stores, we can run diagnostics and explain your repair options.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7612 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.computeradvantage.us\/v3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/is-your-iphone-reporting-no-service-when-you-know-theres-a-signal-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"446\" height=\"214\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 446px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 446\/214;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(Featured image based on an original by<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/Pexels-2286921\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=1850897\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Pexels<\/a> from<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=1850897\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Pixabay<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever seen the dreaded \u201cNo Service\u201d label at the top of your iPhone\u2019s screen, even when you\u2019re pretty sure there should be cellular reception?
