My iPhone 6s gsm phone loses connection to the internet after a few minutes of idle time. The cell signal is strong. If I turn on airplane mode, then back off, it connects to internet.
It has had no problem while using WiFi. Thanks.
iPhone 6s, iOS 12
Cellular data is a carrier responsibility. You say that it disconnects after a period of being idle. Seems the reset on the phone is forcing it to reconnect. I would have the carrier check to see if there is something going on that is causing the disconnect. Otherwise, you may wish to go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Then power the phone off and back on and then test the connection.

The culprit turned out to be the local AT&T tower. Cellular telephone service from this tower eventually failed as well.
Yes, those things can happen. Good to hear you got it sorted out.
