iOS 18.2.1 update messing with my network connection

Could the new update be messing with my network connection? Phone works fine on WiFi but not with my own carriers network. It’ll show full bars, 5G but still no service then go into SOS mode. It only works right when I turn my phone on or if I put on airplane mode for a bit then turn off but only works for mere minutes

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

Iphone 14 pro max No network after switching off airplane mode Hi! Whenever i am switching the airplane mode on and then off my iphone 14 pro max is showing no signal even if the automatic network selection is on. Even if i go to the cellular network option and manually select my service provider from the list of networks manually, still no service is shown. The only solution is to do a hard reboot evry time i switch on and off the airplane mode. I have tried all options found on the web like resetting network settings, turning off and on the roaming , cellular data etc. and all this in a known good coverage area of my service provider. Please help.

Cellular network issue My IPhone 5s network service has stopped working. I updated the S/w via ITunes and on phone it says it’s running current version 12.5.5 but the network service still doesn’t work. Turned Airplane mode off/ on, restarted phone few times, no go.

If that happened to me, I would toggle the state of:

Settings > Apps > Phone > Wi-Fi calling.
