How do I update my iPhones using phone data and not WiFi?

Ask a Friend if they can take you to a WiFi hotspot, or at their house.
Rather than WiFi, Use a Computer and Ethernet:
Start with attempting an update through use of a computer. If you cannot use Wi-Fi, then use Ethernet. See my User Tip: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. On the computer, you would connect it through Ethernet, going directly into your router.
For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple. If you get the same error, the model is likely just not compatible.

Perhaps.
Updating Over Cellular:
You can only update over Cellular using an iPhone 12 with 5G. So, updating over cellular is not be an option, if you don't have an applicable model.
See My User Tip: Use an iPhone 12 or later, that is using 5G, in order to update over Cellular - User Tip
Without Wi-Fi you could connect it to a computer and use Finder (Mac) or iTunes (PC). Apple doesn't allow cellular data to be used to any kind of iOS or App Store updates by design.
Guess this thing will never get an update. I’m disabled and can’t get to a WiFi source.
