First simple step is reset your time and date (I do it by connecting the phone to iTunes, “trusting” and waiting or the clock to adjust, or by connecting to Wi-Fi and toggling Airplane Mode on/off). Once time is reset, reboot your phone by holding and pressing home + power button for ~12 seconds. Restart and test. Does that help in any way?
