SIM disconnected

This has happened across two phones 

And across e sim and physical Sims.

 

I can be in an area I know has signal 

Not overly crowded or built up etc 

 

Then suddenly a ! Will appear next to my signal bar 

While it still claims to have 4 or 5 g signal 

But I don't have any signal 

I have to go into my phones settings and switch the SIM on and off again to get it to work.

 

Never run out of data etc anyone else have this issue or just me ?

 

Getting frustrating having to do this daily now

    sunshine05​ A quick internet search suggests that the exclamation mark appears when you have no data connection. In your case, is it calls and texts that are not available in addition?

    Are the Network and Coverage checkers showing that signal should be fine?

      Network and Coverage are both fine.

      Just can't use my phone for anything,

      Calls,text , internet,

      Gone through the on and off of my phone even bought a new phone and its carried across.
