cellular data doesn't work

A notification «cellular issue detected» popped on my iphone and i can no longer use my cellular data/recieve calls, etc. I tried to do the software update but it also didn't work. Can I do something else to make my phone work? thank you!

iPhone X, iOS 16

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.

Ask also 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.


If it doesn't help , see these Apple articles below:
