iPhone 7 "no service"

Does anyone have a real fix for the iPhone 7 with the "no service" problem? When I'm driving the phone keeps going into "no service" and the only thing I found to fix it is to turn the phone off and on again. Apple said to get a new sim card from Verizon, When I googled this problem others are also having this problem so I'm thinking its not the sim card. I have had iPhones from the 4 up to the iPhone 7 and drive the same roads to work and this is the first time I'm getting this problem.

iPhone 7, iOS 10, Verizon

Hello,

Just yesterday my phone started doing the same thing I tried everything I knew by resetting it and turning the phone off and back on taking out my sim but nothing worked. So I called my carrier to see if the towers was down or if they could fix the problem I was on the phone for over an hour with them. So, I ended up calling apple it turns out that some of the IPhone 7 that has failed on the main logic board. So they told they told me they would replace my phone free of charge. I would give apple a call as soon as possible so they can fix it. These are the model numbers that seem to be having this problem. I hoped this helped you.

Model number Country/Region

A1660, A1780 China

A1660 Hong Kong Macao U.S. (includes Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands)

A1779 Japan

My phone is a Verizon iPhone 7 A1660 128 GB. I have had my phone for just under a year now with no real issues until about 2 weeks ago when I got "No Service" or "Searching". Restarted my phone, replaced my Sim card, reinstalled 11.2.6 and beta couple of times with service for a couple of minutes to couple of hours. Then I would lose all service again, finally sent the phone back off to apple. Hopefully, they make this right...

So, I have had a problem for a week now where my phone wasn't connecting to the server. It just said 'searching...' or 'No Signal' for hours on end and would occasionally and rarely connect with the server. I went to Vodafone and explained the issue, they said to me it was most likely a faulty SIM and replaced instantly. It didn't work. So I went back and they gave me a new sim and fast tracked the new SIM's activation by talking to customer service. This took nearly a day for it click into place but eventually it worked and now I have a working phone. I would focus on getting the SIM changed, if it says 'no service' or 'searching...' it usually means theres more likely a problem with the sim than there is with the your actual phone.

If you still have your old phone, this might work. It did for me. I started setting up my new iPhone 7 Plus today, and saw the no service message. Hadn't even had the chance to use airplane mode. Right out of the box. After trying all the tricks Apple suggested- and none of them working- I had an idea. Instead of just reseating the new SIM, I replaced it with the one from my iPhone 6. Restarted and back on the network. So far so good.
