Why can’t I make or receive phone calls?

[redneckgrammy]

I have an iPhone 5s and suddenly I have no bars and can’t make/receive messages from any device other than an iPhone or iPad. I also cannot make or receive phone calls from anyone. I can still go online and use email, but everything else is useless. Contacted support and have done everything from resetting internet to reinstalling sim card and nothing. I go from 0 bars to No Service to where I never had problems before.
