Dear,

Its might be network issue arisen due to low bars of network in your area. For that purpose you should follow the standard steps of

  1. Restoring your iphones network setting
  2. Restore your iPhone from latest backup
  3. Restore your backup as new device

If the problem still persist then head for network operator and lodge a complaint for network issues like

  • SIM card might not working properly
  • Specially MICRO or NANO sim card needed
  • Signal Strength is low in your area


One more thing you can do for checking this problem in hardware or SIM card. You just put someone's family members sim card into your phone and if it works well and good then its your network operator who have catch with.


Thanks!
