I have managed to get it back working as a telephone!

I did the following steps:

Back-up phone to computer.
Erase without restore
Warnings that it wouldn’t restore the iPhone because it needed an update.
Sure enough when the iPhone came back to life, it would not restore.

Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again

On a Mac with macOS Mojave 10.14 or earlier, open iTunes. If iTunes is already open, close it, then open it again.
iPhone 7 : Press and hold the Side and Volume Down buttons AT THE SAME TIME. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.
Told me it was going to recover the iPhone.
iPhone 7 came back to life and Vodafone appeared!!
With it connected to iTunes it did a Restore as above.
It took about an hour to restore. And even longer to download all my apps.
