Why the hell does my iPhone 4 say "No Service" all of a sudden?

Man I want to throw this thing against the wall sometimes...

All of a sudden, it's saying "Searching..." and then "No Service". I have a MicroCell 3G which has been working fine, plus my wife's iPhone 3G is working just fine in the same house (over MicroCell).

I tried restarting the phone and also resetting the network settings. No luck.

The phone is jailbroken/unlocked.

It was the stupid MicroCell. I unplugged it and it fixed the problem immediately. Damn what a waste of $150 that was.

This happened to my iPhone3G after i dropped it.

the sim card slot got loose and wasn't touching the contact pins. If i squeeze the case a bit and turn airplane mode on/off it gets signal again.

this might be your problem, but there other various causes.

Does it say no service when you Are not holding it? I noticed that when i am hOlding my iphone 4s in my left hand,and my thumb and or hand are covering the bottom left antenna i lose reception rather quickly,and then when i move my finger or hOld the phone differently i have no problems...i thought they said they solved antenna gate??? :(:(:(

iphone4S has two antenna one at the top and bottom. It switches back and forth depending on which is stronger or how u hold.

are you in an area where your reception is shaky to begin with like 0-1bars? Not that the bars is a poor representation of actual signal strength. It is just there to simplify it for most consumers.

Because it doesn't have service...... not THAT hard to figure out.
