Got it. This resource will provide you with some additional steps that can help with this issue: If you see No Service or Searching on your iPhone or iPad


If you're still unable to use your cellular data, we'll need to ask you a few questions that will allow us to get a better understanding of the issue:


• What happens when you try to access your social media? Do you receive an error message?

• Are you able to connect to Safari or any other apps?

• Do you have a profile installed on your iPhone? Go to Settings  > General > Profiles & Device Management. Click here for more details: Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone



We look forward to your reply. Stay safe and well!
