Only if you have an iPhone 12 model or later with a 5G connection you can use over the 5G network.

Check if your carrier supports 5G, see -> Use 5G with your iPhone -> Use 5G with your iPhone - Apple Support

 

If your carrier supports 4G, it will also work with other types of iPhone.

(here SE 2nd gen - 4G)


Do I need to change my service provider

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:

If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad
