Try to do a force restart -> Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)


If it doesn't help, see these Apple articles below:

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

Manually update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad

Update your network provider settings manually on your iPhone or iPad

Another possibility:

Remove and reinsert the SIM card.

If it doesn't help contact your carrier, maybe the SIM card is damaged, ask for a replaced (new) card. Normally it is free.

Also ask to check if the SIM tray is bent, as even a tiny misalignment can cause the SIM card to not fully connect with the internal contacts in your iPhone.
