Latest iOS update issue

I use straight talk as my carrier. Did the latest iOS update the other night and now it says I have no service. I did the iTunes update and it didn’t work. I tried resetting the network settings. I need help. My service doesn’t end until next week. I have an iPhone 8S. TIA

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Hey MrsBoe2018,


We appreciate you further clarifying that you're still unable to update. Let's connect to your computer again and place your iPhone in recovery mode to reinstall the software. When prompted, be sure to choose "Update" as this will install a fresh copy of the software while keeping your data in place. We do still encourage you to have a back up, just in case. Here are guides for these steps:

Let us know if you have questions along the way. As we mentioned previously, if the issue continues after these steps you'll want to seek service.


Take care.

Hey MrsBoe2018,


We're not seeing an attached picture, but that's OK. If you have 13.6.1 installed in Settings > General > About, then you're fully updated. Also, if you've completed all steps in the following resource, and you still see No Service, you'll want to have your iPhone in for service: If you see No Service or Searching on your iPhone or iPad


Here's the link to check for service options again, just in case: Contact Apple Support


Thank you.
