First make sure you have no additional VPN's, clean up or security software installed. If you have any installed those must be removed as they can interfere with the connectivity of your iPhone.

Then check to see if your carrier needs an update in Settings > General > About.

After go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Lastly, contact your carrier for further help as all troubleshooting steps on your iPhone/Apple's side has been performed.
