Troubleshooting "No Service":


A Few Thoughts:

A. Whom to Contact:

Contact your Carrier, as they are the one who provide you with the service of Cellular.


B. "No Service":

If "No Service" is shown on the top-left corner of your screen, go here to fix that: If you See No Service or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


C. Any Recent Updates?:

Did you recently update your iPad? If so, go here: If you See an Error when you Update or Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support


D. Restore your iPhone from a Backup:

Have any backups of this iPhone prior to this occurrence? If so, restore your iPhone from one that (the most recent one, ideally). If not, then take this as a learning experience, knowing to always back up your device for recovery purposes. Important: Back up you iPhone prior to performing this restoration, should anything go wrong from here on out.
