Hi there zandile48,


One of the screenshots show "Searching" in the menu bar, so the best place to start would be with the steps in this article: If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad.


Suggestions from the article:

  • Check your coverage area


  • Restart your iPhone or iPad


  • Check for a Carrier Settings update

"To manually check for and install a carrier settings update:

  1. Make sure that your device is connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
  2. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see an option to update your carrier settings.
  3. To see the version of carrier settings on your device, tap Settings > General > About and look next to Carrier.

If you insert a new SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you need to download the carrier settings for your new carrier."


  • Turn your cellular line off and back on


  • Reset your Network Settings


  • Update your iPhone or iPad


  • Contact your carrier


Best regards.
