"cellular update failed" message - what to do?

[Van778]

I added on a US Roaming plan today and now my iPhone 7 is saying that it has no Cellular Service and that the "cellular update failed". Help! I'm supposed to be travelling tomorrow morning

Have tried most of the things on that link, to no avail. Thanks for that. Will visit the Apple Store and keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for that. You're right, if I just use the phone as a pure wifi device and stick to wifi services I'll be able to do calls on WhatsApp or Skype etc.

You have a little less than two hours before business hours close for the day so you should recieve a message from customer support within the hour. Even so they also sometimes respond after hours....like I recieved last night.

Keep in mind if you are travelling for more than 10 days that you cannot readd the same add on for at least 24 hours after expiry. You may want to ask the CSA to remove your 1GB data add on so that you can stagger it by a day or two so that you can use it and a voip for calls and text during the 24 hours you have to wait to add a second 10 day US roaming add on.

As pointed out by other earlier in this thread, this is a known problem on iPhone 7. It's not a SIM problem. Solution: I got a new phone.
