This type of problem frequently occurs when users travel between different geographic areas, particularly when moving from a region with excellent mobile reception to one with more isolated coverage. If the iPhone isn't set to automatically switch between available networks, it may have difficulty maintaining a connection, resulting in the "Network Lost" error message.
To resolve this, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Select Cellular or Mobile Data.
3. Choose Network Selection.
4. Turn on "Automatic."
By enabling automatic network selection, your iPhone will be able to detect and connect to the appropriate network offered by the carrier, based on the SIM card you're using, whether it's a physical or virtual SIM.
