Have you forgotten your passcode?, 

(< iOS 15.2) See this Apple article: If you forgot your iPhone passcode

If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support

 

(iOS 15.2 and newer) -> How to remove your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch passcode without a computer

Optimize the range of the mobile network, see this Apple article:

If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad

If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

 

If you still don't have a 'service' after that, see -> iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues
