Seeing 'SOS' or 'SOS Only' on your phone screen can be alarming. It means your phone can only make emergency calls. But why is it happening?
Essentially, your phone has lost connection to your regular mobile network. This could be due to several reasons: a weak signal in remote areas, network outages with your carrier, issues with your SIM card, or even software glitches.
Here's some quick troubleshooting:
* **Check Your Location:** Are you in an area with known poor reception?
* **Restart Your Phone:** The classic fix! This often resolves temporary software issues.
* **Check Your SIM Card:** Ensure it's properly inserted and clean.
* **Contact Your Carrier:** They can confirm if there are any network outages in your area.
* **Emergency SOS Feature:** Accidentally triggered the emergency SOS feature? Check your phone's settings to disable the auto-call function.
If none of these work, there might be a more serious hardware issue. Contact your phone manufacturer or a qualified technician for assistance. Staying calm and systematically troubleshooting will help you get back online!
