Make sure you have the latest carrier settings update→Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Perhaps a long shot:


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.


After that, contact your carrier.
