I am having issues with my phone. I am unable to call or receive calls. When I opened my phone this morning it stated an update is needed to use cellular data?

Try this: remove and reinsert the SIM card.

If it doesn't help contact your carrier, maybe the SIM card is damaged, ask for a replaced (new) card. Normally it is free.

Also  ask to check if the SIM tray is bent, as even a tiny misalignment can cause the SIM card to not fully connect with the internal contacts in your iPhone.
