i think its not carrier issue. I tried all the sim to other iphone and they are working fine. Regarding on the update. I flashed the ios 18.2.1 via itunes in dfu mode to prevent error 4000 when updating iphone not in dfu state via iTunes

I think your SIM is most definitely your carrier issue, and the update is your iPhone issue. Have you tried my advice above?
