No Service - No access to APN settings on iPhone

I've currently got No Service showing on my iPhone 5s - iOS 12.1

I've tried resetting Network Settings

I want to check APN settings but the Settings > Mobile Data  page is blank

Any ideas?

 

...Now on Mobile Data page I'm getting

An update is required to use mobile data on this iPhone

Learn More

 

Learn more just tells what I can't do

Software is up to date iOS 12.1

Seems like it's an Apple / iOS 12 issue

Sim works fine in an old iPhone 5 running iOS 10

 

Not found a fix though

Re: No Service - No access to APN settings on iPhone

I had the same issue with a iPhone 5 and believe the problem is with the SIM failing to overwrite the APN settings, which you have no access to.  The only solution I found was to backup the phone, restore it to factory and start it as a new phone, then restore the apps, text, pictures afterwards.  I raised this with Plusnet weeks ago, but failed to receive a reply and it appears to be a common problem, just not one Plusnet are willing to admit!

Thanks for that,

 

Any news?

1st world problems I know but this iPhone 5 I have to use is a surprising step backwards
