Pure shot in the dark here....did your phone somehow get switched to airplane mode? Even if in airplane mode though, I’m not sure if the issues you are having would apply?

Have you tried resetting network settings? Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings

That is the thing that usually fixes it. Given that you have already done some troubleshooting, next step is to use the Reset All Settings command and if that doesn't work, iCloud backup and then do Erase All Content and Settings. That last one is a factory reset and is the absolute last resort because if it fixes your signal, you may lose it again if you restore your backup which would mean having to set the device up totally from scratch.

Have you tried pulling the Sim, cleaning it, and reseating it?

Glad that they got it fixed for you.

Apple can't help with the service but if the device is defective and under warranty, they're the ones who would be replacing it. Apple has had problems with this before and actually had a replacement program for iPhone 7s that were showing "No Service" because it was a hardware issue.
