How can i access my cellular data or signal

iPhone 7 Plus

Troubleshooting - iPhone 7 Plus

1. 

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 > 7 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

note:

You have to decide for yourself whether it is still worth having the battery replaced.

Assuming you already have a cellular data plan enabled, swipe down from top right of your screen to bring down Control Center. Then tap the icon marked in picture to turn it green as in the picture.

If no signal is appearing, it might be just due to service unavailability in your location.
