Since you cannot send or receive messages or phone calls it sounds like a network connection issue.


start by going to settings > general > reset > reset network settings.


That will restart your phone and reconnect to your network. Then try to call and send/receive text messages.


If you still can’t use messages or phone calls contact your phone/internet provider for assistance.


If you do get back on the network then try the update again


Hope this helps
