"Find out what to do if you see "No service" or "Searching" in the status bar. You might not be able to make or receive calls on your iPhone if you have certain settings turned on, if your software isn't up to date, or if there's a problem with your network."

Troubleshooting:

1.

Please check -> iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues

iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues - Apple Support


2. 

If it doesn't help, remove and reinsert the SIM card.

If it doesn't help visit 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.

iPhone 7 is > 6 years old, which also affects the battery life. The hardware remains old, so does the battery.

If it is still possible, have the battery replaced.

The battery can be replaced by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

See this Apple article: iPhone Battery Repair & Replacement - Apple Support

 

If you are going to replace the battery, see -> Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ready for service

Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ready for service - Apple Support

 

The price is approx $ 69.

If you want to know exactly, call Apple directly, see Contact Apple for support and service -> Contact Apple for support and service – Apple Support (UK) 

or 

call 1-800-MY-APPLE

With an iPhone 7 look at this document:

iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues - Certain US and Asian models

iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues - Apple Support

BUT:

"The program covers affected iPhone 7 devices for 4 years after the first retail sale of the unit." The iPhone 7 sold September, 2016 - September 2019 so eligibility will depend upon when exactly you bought your iPhone 7.
