Hello Petitemarie23,
Thanks for clarifying the issue.
You may want to make sure that the issue is not related to software. You can do so by ensuring that your iPhone software is up-to-date. If not, make a backup of your iPhone and update the software. The update process can frequently address unexpected software behavior. Here's a guide to help: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
When turning off cellular data, are you doing so from Settings or the Control Center? Does the problem happen with both? You may want to test, as a means of further isolating the issue.
If the software is current and you're still experiencing the issue, you may want to reach out directly to Apple. They may be able to offer further steps and guidance about this issue. Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
Cheers!
