By chance, do you have a VPN installed on your iPhone (used or not)? If yes, DUMP the VPN. They serve no useful purpose on iPhone, and cause all sorts of connectivity issues. The only people who need a VPN are those who are required to have one by their employer or school and only then should be used when accessing work or school servers. Otherwise, if you're not required to have one, get rid of it completely.
