Re: [apple-iphone] iPhone loses connection with provider network

It seems like its the phone. His wife's iPhone 5 has no problem when his 6s goes offline. A reboot always restores the connection. Going into & out of airport mode doesn't resolve it.

If it only happens in one location, at home, could it be that you are in a bad signal area?

Thanks. I had done that to my phone too, but had forgotten how. Therefore, I gave my instructions in bars or dots. I didn't know that the numbers were dB. Actually, I disagree with what they say about the numbers. I very often, at home, get a rather stinky number (now -114 or two dots on VZ) but never lose service.
I now have saved the webloc so I can find it again.

There's a way of getting a more precise reading of signal strength, in dB in fact.

Rather than the phone, it might be with the network. Contact your mobile provider and talk to them. The rebooting fix might just be coincidental, as the network might come back while it is rebooting. Doe he notice a weak signal in the upper left of the screen? Five bars (actually dots on an iPhone) is great, but two is probably okay. Big difference between 2 and 0 though.
