Why does my iPhone say searching or no service?

Why does my iPhone say searching or no service?

So a few weeks ago my phone just randomly lost signal and says searching or no service. I rested network settings and it worked for but a bit but I’ve taken the SIM card out, Reset setting, airplane mode, just about everything. Still doesn’t work, when I try to reset the network settings again I click reset and it will just sit there frozen I can exit out of the app but the phone doesn’t reboot. Everyone in my family still have data and Lte tho, if you know how to fix this please let me know!

I have an iphone 5 and about a week ago, it lost cellular connection and kept "searching". I did not drop the phone or anything that would cause it to stop working. I tried all of the potential fixes that apple recommends short of a factory reset. I even took it to a Verizon store and they tried a different sim card and many of the things I already tried with no luck. They pretty much told me to up-grade to solve the issue. I decided to make sure it was backed up and take the phone apart. About a year ago, I bought a battery replacement kit online, so I had the suction cup and all of the tools to take the phone apart. While the screen was removed, I unhooked the battery and the cellular antenna and then plugged them back in a few minutes later and reassembled. When I turned the phone back on, I now have cellular connection. I don't know if it would work on your phone, but it might be worth a try. It saved me from a factory reset and/or replacing the phone. Good luck!

Make sure you're running the latest iOS. I've had several customers with similar issues after some of the bug ridden iOS 11 updates. The latest should have those fixed.
