Method 1: Check Your Network Carrier

Some network carriers use to cancel customer service based on reasons known to them. There used to be a case where the iPhone network was disconnected because of suspected fraudulent activity. You should give your carrier a call and know if the problem is from them. If the problem is not from your carrier, then you should proceed to the next method.

Method 2: Take Out Your Sim Card.

Your iPhone SIM card probably maybe the cause. I have experienced this before and after removing my SIM card and putting it back, the network comes back.
