Loss of service

[2seniors]

Today I loss service for about 4 hours. I shut down the phone and restated it and my service resumed. Why did this happen ?

@2seniors My phone reminds me to restart if I haven't done it in the past 7 days. As stated, your phone is a computer, it's a good idea to restart once in awhile.

@pankajjoshi put it in aeroplane mode for 5 minutes, take it off and restart your phone. Stay safe.

Your smartphone is a computer. Computers need a periodic reboot and smartphones are no different. Above article gives a good explanation.

Is this the only screen you have? Do you have a tablet? A laptop? A desktop? Do you keep them all on? Do you fully power off your phone at all? Frequently?

Software and system memory and the CPU and the operating system that keeps it all together gets muddled up often.

Rebooting sets everything back to the startup mode. Not factory reset. Not reset. Just reboot.

You will be surprised when you reboot any device on what it fixes and resets.
