iphone 11 bricked after ios 14.5.1 upgrade

I have automatic updates enabled on my iphone 11, and after the recent iOS 14.5.1 upgrade i got an error notification that 'Mobile Data Services not available. You will not be able to make or receive calls. An upgrade is required to enable the services'.

I tried upgrading it through iMac and iTunes(on PC) both places it showed that phone is on latest iOS. Post that I tried recovering my phone on iMac and PC, but in the process of setting up of iPhone I am getting an error message 'Update: Activation Failed' and nothing would happen post that.

My SIM is working in other mobiles and no other SIM is working in my iPhone. Please help, if you faced this issue and how did you resolve it?

Thanks in Advance.

Few Carrier (Cellular Service Provider) does not provide Carrier Settings in full but they offer APN settings for example

Google FI which has APN to be entered manually as h2g2
MTN Ghana which provides APN pin to be updated manually as the internet
BSNL in India which provides APN pin to be updated manually as bsnlnet (Watch teh GIF below)

Settings > Mobile Data > APN [under Mobile Data APN] enter the APN pin

View and edit your APN settings

If your carrier allows it, you can view your APN settings in one of the following locations: Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Cellular Network. Settings> Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options > Mobile Data Network.

Use the APN pin based on your carrier. Ask them (Your Carrrier) or search using any search engine.
