Sorry, only emergency calls are allowed

problem with sim or your account

check with your service provider as to why they are not allowing you to use the phone
what you have indicates an unpaid account and you are only allowed emergency calls

menu, settings and tools, call settings, location....that might work. Id on't have that exact phone so it may be a little different on your phone.

When the Iphone is restored to factory settings you will receive the prompt to connect to itunes and only make emergency calls, you will need to connect the Iphone to itunes to allow the Iphone to complete the setup process, similar to when you first buy an Iphone.

my samsung sgh-U700 is not allowing me to make any calls other than emergency calls, and i also can't receive any. How can i fix it?

Hi,
This normally means that the phone was stolen/lost and the person that lost the phone has blocked it. It sounds like the actual phone is blocked!

best for you to call the service provider as this may be a mistake by them blocking your hone by mistake

Check on the right hand corner of your device for the vertical signal bars - 5 bars indicate full strength and 1 indicate very low signal. "OFF" indicates the radio is off and need to be turned on.

In case signal strength is good, you should be able to make and receive calls. In case it does not work, just try taking the battery out and put it back after 15 seconds and try again.

In case signal strength is low , either you are in a low signal zone or your SIM card is bad. Take the SIM card out, wipe the gold plated surface using a clean tissue, put it back and try again.

In case the radio is OFF, turn it on by clicking on the icon (Turn Wireless on) on the home page.

with most of the older models sony ericsson this is a common problem.....try menu/settings/connectivity/mobile networks/select network

update its software
