An update required to use cellular data on this iPhone

Have you tried hard resetting the phone?

Update cellular

If I click on Carrier, another small window opens and it reads "IMS Status Voice and SMS" whatever it means. So in my iPhone SE, the Carrier is clickable. If an update is required, it should be there, I guess.

My only suggestion at this point is, re-install the iOS 12.

Hope this is helpful.

I’m having the same issue and spent 1.5 hrs on the phone with Verizon and Apple just for them to tell me they don’t know what else to do and that technical support needs to see my phone but the earliest appti can get is wed. I’ve done everything that others have commented. As far as resetting the network, removing the SIM card and nothing worked. However I did do a hard reset on my phone and it work for about 2hrs and then boom back to no service.

I had this issue about a month ago. Going back to the previous update helped me. You google how to do it.

I have also been combating this problem since I updated to the new iOS last week . My phone is a brick unless I have WiFi and even then people with android phones cannot contact me. I have tried all of the solutions posted on the discussion boards and have not found a permanent fix. Occasionally my phone will connect to my carrier but I cannot identify a sequence of actions that caused it to work. Maybe toggling Airplane Mode, Hard Reset etc... regardless it is not a permanent solution and my phone turns back into a brick.

My SIM card works and my carrier is not reporting an issues with nearby cell towers. I called technical support on a friend’s phone (my phone is a paperweight) waited for an hour to talk to a person. After answering a series of tech support questions, they told me they’d call me back; which, they never did. The best I can do now is bring my iPhone 7 Model No. A1660 (known to be defective) in a local apple retailer to be “repaired” this upcoming Tuesday.

After taking my phone to my carrier, they said it had something to do with the antenna in

my phone? They told me apple would most likely fix it for free, warranty or not. I ended up getting an upgrade and a new phone because after a few days of this BS I was over it. Good luck everyone

What IOS are you using and have you tried to update it?

How do you update? Under Settings ->cellular it simply says error and will not allow me any options to update. I have reset my server, still no luck.

Unfortunately I am unable to click anything on Carrier. It is grayed out. Thank you for the suggestion though.

And it was after the update to iOS 12.0 that this problem first occurred.

I am also facing the same problem after updating to iOS 12 ... No network problem ... Apple needs to fix this
