Cellular Update Has Failed.. or has it?

The "cellular update failed" error message... any chance that the phones modem is fail-ING and not completely failed?? I've intermittently been able to make calls on my iPhone 7. Also when i leave home wifi, i have data access temporarily.. as in 30-1hr.

iPhone 7, iOS 12

"If you see this alert, it might mean there's an issue on the cellular modem of your iPhone or iPad. Your iPhone can't make or receive calls or text messages, or access cellular data".


What to do next:

If you restore or erase your iPhone or iPad, you might not be able to activate your device.

If you see either of these alerts, take your iPhone or iPad to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or make a Genius Bar reservation at an Apple Store. You can also contact Apple Support.
