Mobile network / SIM card problem after iOS26 update on iPhone 13

Hi everyone!

Last week I updated my iPhone 13 from iOS 18 to iOS26 and inmediatly after instalation these problem appeared:


-SIM card is not readed; the phone detects if the tray is empty but it reads a couple seconds and stays on NO SIM.

-The "Mobile Service" ("Cellular" on some countries) lists only the SIM card (if on) and when you open to see the settings the menu is totally blank.

-eSIM is no longer listed or supported; I can't scan codes and disappeared from the Mobile Service category.


To add context, if I go to General > About I can see the IMEI1/2 and Modem Firmware 5.02.02


I already tried these recomended fixes:

-Airplane mode on/off

-Try SIM card on diferent phone (It works perfectly)

-Try another SIM card (no luck)

-Reset network settings

-Restore phone

-DFU


The phone works smooth as always is just that


Is there anything I could do from my side?

iPhone 13, iOS 26
