Hi!
I have a 2yr-old pristine iPhone 5s...very gently used.
I am on DAY-3 of “Searching” - NO NETWORK-
PHONE NUMBER: Unknown
Wi-Fi is my saving grace;
At least I can troubleshoot...
(Exhausting!) & call thru FB!
My supposed faulty SIM card found a tower instantly, once installed into else’s phone (great phone kiosk fellow)-so, it’s NOT my SIM after all!
The word seems to be that the IOS UPDATE -11 is the culprit;
Geared to later iPhones than my 5s...?
I have tried most of the “fixes” listed everywhere—-multiple times, except for “hard reset & full recovery” (wipe)...
- I cannot risk losing my “GarageBand compositions”...(so much work!) Makes me nervous...and iTunes is not easy for me to understand.
*I am not techy at all, but apparently- it may have been possible to roll back to IOS-10 safely, had I archived that back-up pre-11 update???
Anyway...here I am hoping for a miracle! There must be a way to write my phone number to this freaking SIM CARD...I am intrigued by the guy who installed it in his old phone first...& eventually got to select his carrier in the problem phone...
I will read that again as I have my old iPhone 4 (locked/no service) - but it powers up. I don’t know...
Any new 2018 “Fix Discoveries” for this headache, would be awesome!!! Thanks!

I have an iPhone 5s and it's been saying "searching" all day, I've called my phone carrier, it's got nothing to do with the SIM card. It's got to do with the actual phone, I've reset network settings several times today, reset my phone, taking the sim in & out, rebooted it, everything you can think of and its still not working. Anyone have any ideas how I can fix it?

i had this problem. For me a network reset worked.
