Here are a set of troubleshooting steps. Test after each step until success.


First go to Settings > General > About to check for a carrier update which may be required in order to use cellular service.


Then try a Forced Restart.

  • Press and quickly release the Volume Up Button
  • Press and quickly release the Volume Down Button
  • Press and hold the Side Button until you see the Apple Logo (This can take up to 30 seconds, don't let go at the Power Off Slider)


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


Lastly, contact your carrier for further support.
