Data no longer working after overseas vacation

My cellular data doesn’t work after a 20 day trip to Europe. I’ve restarted my phone multiple times, waited a month+ to see if it would come back on its own, and dug around the settings. Nothing has worked so far. The ‘cellular’ setting is missing entirely, but I don’t remember if it was missing before the trip or not. I’m going to the AT&T center this weekend, but would rather save the trip if I can.

iPhone 8, iOS 16

"Mobile Data" is the same thing as "Cellular" in some localizations.


I'm assuming you have the correct SIM? Did you get a different SIM with a different carrier for while you were traveling?


A couple of things to try. 1) Go to Settings>General>Language & Region and make sure your phone is set to the correct region. 2) Go to Settings>General>Transfer or Reset iPhone>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You'll lose saved WiFi passwords but that's all.
