Troubleshooting "No Cellular Data":


Your device may be quite old. So, that may be the culprit. But, before making that assertion, try the following.

A. Install a Cellular Update:

It might be prompting you for a cellular update to install. So, go here for that. Update your carrier settings manually on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If your iPhone is showing "No Cellular Service" and you're experiencing cellular connectivity issues, try these troubleshooting steps:


1. **Restart your iPhone**: A simple restart can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.


2. **Check Airplane Mode**: Make sure Airplane Mode is turned off. You can access Airplane Mode by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen or going to Settings > Airplane Mode.


3. **Check Cellular Settings**: Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) and ensure that Cellular Data is turned on. You can also check if your carrier is selected under Cellular Data Options.


4. **Update iOS**: Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for and install any available updates.


5. **Reset Network Settings**: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN settings.


6. **Check for Carrier Settings Update**: Sometimes carriers release updates that can improve network connectivity. Go to Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see a prompt to update your carrier settings.


7. **Remove and Reinsert SIM Card**: Turn off your iPhone, remove the SIM card, wait a few seconds, and then reinsert it. Turn your iPhone back on and see if the issue is resolved.


8. **Contact Your Carrier**: If none of the above steps work, contact your cellular carrier. There may be a network issue in your area or an issue with your account that they need to address.


If the issue persists after trying these steps, it's possible there may be a hardware problem with your iPhone's cellular components, and you may need to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for further assistance.
