Search for the network manually
Sometimes, your phone might find it difficult to register to a mobile network automatically when there’s a poor network around.

Move to an area with better network coverage
In case you couldn’t find your operator on the list during the manual search or it fails to register, then you’re probably out of network coverage. It happens mostly when you’re far from the city, near high metallic objects, or even when you’re in an underground building.
A quick way to diagnose that is to ask people near you if they’re also facing the same problem. If yes, try moving to an area with better signals to fix the “Mobile network not available” issue on your phone.
