No Service IOS16.6

Starting from 11 Aug 2023 my iPhone 11 had no service. I have not taken note when it was upgraded to IOS16.6 but current I am suspecting that is the cause.


Things I have tried so far:

  • Restarting
  • Toggle flight mode on and off
  • Remove SIM and put it back
  • Put the same SIM in backup iPhone 6 and it have full signal.


Anything else I could try? The nearest Apple store is miles away... Really want to exhaust all options before going to the store.

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."

Tow more suggestions:


1) Call Apple and see if they have any additional suggestions.


2) Call your carrier just to make sure there isn't a service issue in your area.
