For instance, consider whether this happens in multiple locations (i.e. at work, home, at the park, etc.). This can help rule out the possibility that a particular area is experiencing weaker network coverage.

Also, restarting your iPhone, checking for a carrier settings update, removing the SIM, and resetting the network settings can help. Before resetting the network settings, we recommend making sure your iOS backup is current. You can back up to a computer or to iCloud.
