Out on iPhone 26.6 but not on my iOS 27. But not sure if relevant. As of a minute ago just came back up on the other phone.

I was fine until I just toggled Airplane Mode on and off on iOS 18, seems like some kind of auth issue.

On newest iOS this didn't work for me. But it did work for my friend who has a slightly older iOS version. I imagine it's probably related to the difference in areas we're physically in rather than anything on Apple's side.

It seems like this is something that's effected multiple providers. For tmobile, I'm on Google FI I've restarted my phone and tried the airplane mode strat but no dice I'm completely kicked out.... Perhaps it's time to try Verizon

My understanding is that Google Fi is a glorified T-Mobile MVNO at this point (i.e. you're a Fi customer but using T-Mobile towers). It used to give you the closest/best connection of T-Mobile, Sprint, or US Cellular, but Sprint no longer exists, and T-Mobile bought US Cellular.

They also merged with Sprint. So maybe not much difference ?

One line of my family's four lines is affected. Rebooting the phone does not help. The affected phone sees the network, but shows "No service" error. It seems like some kind of authentication issue?

Didn't a lot of certs just switch to a shorter renewal period ?
