iPhone 7 cellular update failed, Phone reset but problem continues and fails to be activated.

Hello, I have a iPhone 7 that had notifications saying "cellular update failed", and I was suggested to reset my phone to fix the issue. Right now the phone is still unable to connect to the cellular service and it also fails to be activated.

Thank you very much.

iPhone 7, iOS 12
