It's an iPhone 5 on Verizon. I was trying to install a software update, and it froze, so I restarted it. Now it can't find the Verizon signal. It's been "searching" for the past hour. I've tried resetting my network settings, I've removed and re-installed the SIM card, I've restarted the phone, but nothing is working. Anybody know what's going on?

Try entering and exiting airplane mode.

My next phone will probably be Android/Google/not apple

Sometimes parts of the network go. I'd visit the Verizon store if it doesn't fix itself in time.

I just wonder if it was the failed update that caused it.

Quite probable. If it's that it may've killed your antenna. Demand Verizon replaces it.

Plug it into itunes, get a local backup, then do a full restore from that backup, then a full sync. This fixes 99.9% of wierd issues. The last .01% are legit hardware issues.

Sounds like you were updating to iOS8.

The solution is to get itunes installed on a PC or Mac, connect your phone to that PC or Mac and do the update that way.

Have you tried turning it off, and then turning it on again?
