Reception issues often occur if you’re in an enclosed area or building. Glass and concrete greatly affects the quality of the signal, so if your phone has good reception outside, then there’s no problem with it. You might be in an area where there’s an obstruction.

No connectivity is the immediate effect and this can be due to that issue. Therefore, the next you have to do is to reset the network settings of your device to refresh the network services.
