Were you using a local SIM while you were traveling? I've seen a couple of instances where a profile was installed that prevented the phone from working properly (access cellular data) when returning to the U.S. Check Settings>General>Device Management and remove anything that is no longer relevant. If you have a corporate email account on your phone, you may have a profile for that that you wouldn't want to remove.

I just did a manual network setting change on my cell phone to switch wireless networks on my phone while in Europe. No new SIM I was on an international travel plan on my cell phone not using wifi much. When I got back to the USA It was not switching back to my home carrier here. same sim no swapping

Are you referring to your Cellular network or the Wi-Fi network? Did you have to swap the SIMs card when you went overseas?


To reset your Wi-Fi network go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Then do a forced restart. Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Then go back to Settings > Wi-Fi > and rejoin your network again.
