Well, if it's a SIM card phone, take the sim card out while the phone is off and put it back in.
Might fix the problem.

No SIM, call your phone provider and have them walk you through a few things, the phone may have accidentally become deactivated on the account, or lost its settings (which has been known to happen)

well said good sir

take the sim card out, put it back in and switch it on... does that help?
