After briefly losing service, iPhone will fail to reconnect to cellular network until restarted

When my iPhone loses service for any amount of time, like when driving through an area that isn't covered or going inside of a building, the device will not reconnect to the cellular network once it is back in range. I have tried toggling airplane made to make it search again; this does not work. I have tried resetting network settings; this also did not work and now I have to re-enter the password for every wifi network (bummer).


The issues DOES resolve, however, if I completely power off the device and power it back on. Only to again reappear the next time I lose service.


What in the world is causing this and what can I do to fix it?


Things to note: MRI comes back fine. Issue JUST started this week. Device was restored about 3 weeks ago from backup because it is a replacement for one that I destroyed.
