Whenever you upgrade your iOS, or insert a new SIM with a different network carrier, your iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad needs to download the updated version of the carrier settings. Carrier Settings are an important aspect of any smartphone as it contains all important technical settings required for calling, messaging and internetworking. When your iOS upgrades, the carrier settings must also upgrade in compliance with the new iOS version. Otherwise, users may find difficulty in connecting to the internet, or browsing websites. While some users may fail to connect to the internet, some could not make VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calls.
