Default Dropped phone now no service

Dropped my iphone earlier today (fell out of my pocket while standing on a ladder). All menus work, audio and even wireless except getting No Service. Tried wife's sim in there and still No Service. Tried usual resets etc. Do you think it's an antenna problem and potentially the clearboost case/signal booster could work?

And my 2nd question: Since my phone isn't on warranty can anyone recommend a good reliable iphone repair service?

Thx.

I think you're SOL. Send it off, see if Apple can fix it. And next time, don't carry it in a loose pocket when you're that high up! I wouldn't take my laptop up that high, and this thing's expensive!

Why isn't it in warranty anymore? Wouldn't matter because you dropped it, but the phone has a year warranty.
The best place to have the phone repaired is the Apple Store if there is one in your area. Otherwise, call Apple and you can send it to them for repair.

If it is still in warranty, and there arent any dents or anything, take it to the Apple Store and just tell them it doesnt get signal and you tried a different sim card and resetting it.

It has a nasty dent and scratches on the side plus it's unlocked. Do they actually repair phones at the Apple store or do they send them away?

Anyone recommend a reputable online repair service?
