Lockdown Mode disables cellular network on iPhone

Has anyone experienced this? When I enable Lockdown Mode on my iPhone, it seems to lose cellular network connectivity. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there a known fix or workaround?

It's supposed to do that. The bigger question is are you someone so high on the world stage you need the extreme protection Lockdown Mode is designed for? If you're not a head of state, CEO of a major corporation, Senator, Congress person, etc., WHY are you using Lockdown Mode in the first place? It really isn't designed for the average iPhone user.
