free, what part of Canada are you in?
I had exactly the same problem yesterday. I am in Calgary with Telus.
I was in the middle of a call to BC and the call suddenly ended. I couldn't call back for a couple minutes, managed to get through again, finished the call and then got what you described.
Emergency Calls Only.
I rebooted the phone several times to no avail.
Then it would flip in and out of service, and I got a further message on the screen, with an alert tone every time, something about No data available or similar message. This went on and off at least a couple dozen times.
After a while it cleared up and went back to normal again.
Then a strange one, last night after dinner I noticed my battery was at 53%. Ok, normal. Phone was acting strange so I rebooted it again. When it started back up, the phone got hot and the battery plummeted to 2%. What the ??....
53 to 2% in less than 10 minutes.
By the time I made it to my charger, it hit zero and shut off.
Weird...
Mine is a Samsung S7 - Android. What's yours?
Im in Ontario service is always good,
Use Blackberry works awesome Im guesing sim card got bit lose and wasnt contacting perfectly.
Fwiw I try to keep the phone clean and dry at all times but sht hapens
For people complaining public phones cost too much to maintain is rediculous.
big Hardware stores,WM,,Canada tire,food Superstores and Gas stations all make plenty o profit to have a land line in case of emergency.
Cell phones can break easy when you drop it and then what?
