Update error1 when roaming

My daughter has just had this issue. Looking back I see a cluster of posts in May/June on the same issue.

Pure speculation on my part, and I’m no expert, but my suspicion is that her home carrier has just sent out an over-the-air carrier settings update, which fails because she’s not on her home carrier network. It should fix itself when she gets home. I think a short-term fix is to turn off 3/4G.

Hope this helps someone else.

Carrier Update Settings Every time I go into Settings, General, About on my moms iphone 7 it prompts me with a "Carrier Update Setting" request. I hit Allow and nothing seems to happen, I repeat the same process and everytime I go into the "About" section within settings it prompts me again and again to update Carrier Settings and I always hit allow. She is on the T-Mobile network in an area covered by T-mobile but 9 times out of 10 she has "No Service" displayed in upper left hand corner. If she does have service it is only one bar and its uncommon to have that. Is there a way to force the Carrier Update? I just feel that that is the issue considering it asks to update every time I go into settings.

Cellular Error / Network Issues 6/17/21 Multiple users same issue with 14.6 from what I’m reading. I’d say this isn’t a user or Service provider issue. Please get an update out ASAP to remedy this. I “reset network settings” on my phone 5x today to fix this and it works. But temporarily. I need to have cellular! How can my kids reach me with an unreliable phone? This is a big safety issue. If I’m stranded on a highway, now I’m not sure if I’ll have service. Even if I connect to wifi in places I go, that doesn’t resolve the telephone aspect of my iPhone.
