Seems more like an iPhone hardware or carrier issue or maybe a cellular network issue. Restart the iPhone, and try again. Once in a while, the iPhone can get confused. Check for carrier updates, and apply any available. Update iOS to the most recent version, iOS 12.5.6, iOS 15.7, or iOS 16.0.3, depending on which iPhone this is, too. Then contact your carrier and inquire about this misbehavior, and then contact Apple Support.
