Can only text/recieve texts/call/recieve calls on WI-FI - Winterjet - Sep 16, 2015
Basically my parents disabled my phone because I cut lunch and since my school is starting to be strict as fuck I got caught. So the catch is, I can only text/recieve texts on iMessage and not regular text messages and only when I'm on WI-FI. I also can't call/receive calls and it doesn't work even if I'm on WI-FI.
Is there honestly any way to bypass this? Restoring phone to an earlier time maybe? I'm not sure, +1 to whoever helps!

Just get a voip app and make wifi calls from that; or just go out and get a prepaid phone.

My cellular service is basically disabled, is there any way I can enable it though?

I had this problem I paid a local phone shop £10 ($15) to fix this on my iPhone 5, unless you purchased this phone pre-owned then it might be blocked by the carrier because it's stolen or contract might have been cancelled. Hope I helped. 🤗

Sunstrikes you're wrong lol
OP, your parents most probably disabled your line with the carrier, I guess they aren't paying it too.
You should call your carrier and re enable it, but your parents would be charged again. Your move lol

What angrymcdouble told you. It's the carrier that cut you from their services. Assuming you're a minor, you can't do anything about it.
Why don't you get a new SIM card?
