“ Cellular update failed” IPhone 7. Happens daily in spite of fix.

“ Cellular update failed” occurs daily on IPhone 7. I have followed the ‘fix’ steps multiple times, and reinstall the IOS via direct connect to ITunes each time. I have removed and reinserted the SIM card. Rebooted. Reinstalled IOS. Every other family member’s phone is connecting to Verizon so it is not the service. Is this a hardware or software error?

What do you see at Settings... Cellular?

Same problem and attempted fixes. I see “Error” at settings>cellular.

That’s my model. But it says four years after retail so I may be out of luck.

I see “Error.” And my phone is constantly searching for service, running down the battery.
