Rob-Ivassume you are having a problem with your Iphone inside your home. Does it also search for a signal when you are outdoors too?
I ask that as a relative of mine had to get a landline for her home because her home walls are adobe (she lives in New Mexico). She had no problems stepping outside her front door and getting a signal for her Iphone. Just indoors due to the adobe walls.

Did you reboot it -- power it off fully, wait 30 seconds, and then start it back up? That seems to work for most of our I-stuff issues.
Also, clear your internet history AND close ALL of your apps. You might have some malware.

That exact same thing happened to me after I had my iPhone 5 for 2 years. My iPhone 5 kept searching for a signal. I brought it to a Verizon store (that was independently owned) and they tried replacing the SIM card. That didn't work so I ended up with an iPhone 6. The next time I was in a bigger city I brought my iPhone 5 to a store that was Verizon owned. They had it working within 15 minutes. They would not let me return my iPhone 6. That is too much of a coincidence. |
