Hi sceviec,


Welcome to the Support Communities!



The first thing you can try is to turn off the iPhone, remove the SIM card and reseat it in the iPhone.

If reseatting the SIM card and restarting the iPhone does not resolve your issue, the link below will direct you to your wireless carrier for support.
