I am not able to receive 3G and 2G signals on my SE 2020 iphone after ios 17 updates. I am from India. In remote places in India we still have 3G and 2G signals. If I go for tour to some remote place I am always out of reach because my mobile doesn't catch 2G and 3G signals. What is the use of paying so much to apple if they cannot keep the basic services ON.
iPhone SE, iOS 17
Cellular Service has NOTHING to do with Apple. They have EVERYTHING to do with your carrier. Kurtosis12 is absolutely correct that when your phone updates, your carrier settings update, but that update is provided by your Carrier for the cellular side, NOT from Apple. 3G and 2G is non-existent in the US now. And throughout most of the world it is being retired as well.
You need to contact your carrier about this. If they no longer broadcast in 3G or 2G in the remote areas you are having an issue, you won't get good cellular service, if any. Perhaps there's another carrier you can switch to, who hasn't retired 3G yet?

Have you checked with your carrier to see if they need to send a carrier update or anything to make this work? In general a lot of phones are moving away from 3G and 2G support but the carrier may be able to add a PRL profile to the device to enable it. Won’t hurt to troubleshoot with your carrier
That is a choice by your carrier, not Apple. When you update your iOS it updates carrier settings as well. Your carrier is probably phasing out 2G & 3G service.
3G and 2G services stopped working after ios 17 updates
