No service i need help my motorola v3 phone is saying searching for network and no service please help me i want to fix my phone

Be sure your phone is not on flight mode if it has one

1. Check with someone who's on the same network to make sure there is a service locally (and that it isn't the cell base that has gone down). 2. Try turning the phone off, then back on again. 3. Have a flick through the phone settings menu. Make sure the phone hasn't been set to the wrong band (GSM 900 and 1800 don't usually work in the US). Find the network selection menu. It should normally be set to "Auto". If it isn't, change it so it is. If it already is, set it to manual, let it search for networks, then select your own. If that works, try it on auto again. If none of that works, I think you will probably have to take the phone into a dealer for a more in-depth look. A.
