Cell Bard Going Away:

If cellular nor working? Or is it that the bard are just going away?

A. Disable Airplane Mode:

  1. Go Here: Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: "Turning on Airplane Mode turns off all radios except for Bluetooth—you can’t make calls, but you can listen to music, play games, watch videos, and use other apps that don’t require network or phone connections"


B. Did you Contact your Carrier?:

You may have a sales SIM or eSIM card, of a damaged antenna. So, given them a call, and start with seeing about getting a new SIM or eSIM card.
