There are few cellular service providers who do not provide or release complete Carrier Settings. In that case you may have to enter APN settings manually on your device.


For example with Google FI, after the Carrier Settings Update on an iOS device one needs to manually enter APN Settings, which is h2g2. Only then the internet services will be enabled on an iPhone over cellular. Similar is the case for BSNL in India, the APN is bsnlnet


Based on your carrier (Cellular Service Provider) ask them for APN pin and enter it manually on your device. Alternatively you may search for the APN pin using any web search engine. After you have the APN pin with you then go to...


Settings > Mobile Data > APN Settings > [Mobile Data Section] Input APN which has been given to you by your Cellular Service provider.


If you do not have the above option that means the Cellular Service provider has released complete Carrier Settings Update. Read below


Carrier Update (Required): Released by your Cellular Service provider (Carrier Update), affects your Outgoing / Incoming calls, SMS, Data etc..
