How to fix No service on iPhone 8

We are going to list several solutions that can help you fix cellular data issues on your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus. Even if this is your first iPhone ever, don’t worry, all the steps are pretty simple. Let’s start.

Toggle Cellular Data

As always, we are going to start with a simple workaround. You need to turn Cellular data off and turn it back on. This requires a few taps only. Navigate to Settings > Cellular and then toggle the switch next to Cellular data. Once you disable it, wait for a couple of seconds and turn it on again.

Turn Airplane mode on/off

Another trick that can fix the issue is also a very simple one. Go to Settings and turn the Airplane mode on. Wait for a minute and turn it off. You can access this option straight from the Control center, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap on the Airplane icon.

Restart your iPhone

A restart is one of the most effective solutions for various issues. Press and hold the power button, drag the slider and turn your phone off. Once again, press and hold the power button and turn the phone back on.

Reinsert the SIM card

The reason why you see no service on iPhone 8 might be the fact the SIM card is not properly placed. So, take your SIM card out, make sure it is not damaged, and properly place it back. If the SIM card is damaged, contact your carrier and ask for the replacement.

Carrier settings update

If you experience cellular data issues, you should update carrier settings (if an update is available). To see if an update is available, go to Settings > General > About. You’ll see a pop-up message and you will be asked if you want to update the settings. Tap Update.

Update the software

No service on iPhone 8 can be fixed with the software update. It is quite known that software updates bring all kind of improvements, new features and bug fixes. Whenever a new iOS version becomes available you should install it. Here is what you need to do:

• Go to Settings
• Now Tap General
• Tap Software Update
• Finally, tap Download and Install.

Reset network settings

The next thing you should try is to reset network settings. Same as the previous solutions, this one is quite simple as well. You will have to connect to Wi-Fi network all over again, set up your Bluetooth connection from scratch, and adjust other settings because this will reset all network-related settings. But, it is worth it as this step can fix the issue. Here is what to do:

• Navigate to Settings
• Tap General
• Next, tap Reset
• Tap Reset network settings.

Reset all settings

If the previously listed solutions didn’t fix iPhone cellular data issues, you can reset all settings. This won’t erase any of your data. It will just reset all of the settings to default. So, once you do this, you will have to adjust the settings all over again.

• Go to Settings
• Now tap General
• Tap Reset
• Tap Reset all settings.

These solutions are the very simple and very effective, so you will be able to fix the issue and enjoy using your iPhone 8.
