Why does my phone say no network connection?

The following solutions were very effective for most users in fixing the "Mobile Network not Available" issue on their android phones. The main reason for the problem can be a lack of reception within your area.

Please note that the mobile network will not be available on your Samsung Galaxy phone if one of the following is triggered: 

  1. Poor signal/reception 
  2. Low coverage in your area 
  3. Location (being far from a cell tower)
  4. SIM exhaustion.

Quick Tips (Cellular network not available)

  • Ensure you have an active and valid mobile data plan with your current carrier and that your reception is strong.
  • Ensure that the Airplane mode is OFF. Sometimes, we accidentally enable this feature. Open Settings > Connections > Airplane mode. Toggle the switch button.
  • Reinsert your SIM card, check for damage, and ensure it is inserted correctly. If you have another phone around, place your SIM card on it and try to make a phone call.
  • Toggle Mobile Data
  • Call your Carrier; perhaps their system is down or is under maintenance.
  • Restart your phone.
