No service iOS 15.7

I’ve been trying to update my iPhone 7 to iOS 15.7 for a week now.

my phone has no service although my bill is paid because of this mandatory update.

when I attempt to update it, connected to Wi-Fi (and even fully charged) it says “ unable to verify update: you are no longer connected to the Internet“.


The wifi signal isn’t weak.

iPhone 7, iOS 14
