No service issue,restore then activation issue

I am using iPhone 8plus A1864. It is a unlock IPHONE purchased from USA just 2 & half year back. It was working fine but sudden it shows no service issue i contact carrier all was fine from their end. I put that sim card in other iPhone it work fine. I tried pitting other sim cards of different carrier in my iphone 8plus still same issue. I open mobile network setting it show blank page. I contacted apple support chat and explain the whole issue they asked me to restore i phone. I restored using iTunes on my pc after restore it gives error “couldnt activate iPhone because server couldn’t reached........ “ i tried with itunes it gives error “couldn’t activate iphone because activation information could be find on your device....”. I tried with my wife iphone 6 by keeping them near still the same issue. I contacted apple support again and did all the followup but still the same issue.

Hi, you can check these resources:

If you see No Service or Searching on your iPhone or iPad

If you can't activate your iPhone


Got the same issue way back, you have tried restoring the phone but it still failed, you will need to bring your phone to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service provider to get it fixed/replaced depending on the technician's diagnosis. You can book an appointment on getsupport.apple.com or use the Apple Support app.

i had already tried all the above mentioned steps but non work for me. I had read a article for the same error on iphone 8 and apple has repaired the logic board for that free of cost.

the same manufacturing fault might be there in iphone 8 plus. Please take this seriously because if this is a manufacting fault then apple must repair it at free cost.

There is no breakage, no water dip no ther incident happened with my iPhone then also it gives this error then it surely means it has a manufacturing fault.

If it has a hardware issue then apple must repair it no cost assuming manufacturing fault and covid situation.

I will be very pleased if you will cooperate with me in this tough situation
