iPhone stuck in SOS Mode
There can be several reasons why an iPhone gets stuck in SOS mode. One common cause is related to the network connection issues, where the iPhone is unable to establish a stable connection with the carrier's network. This can be due to factors like poor network coverage, SIM card issues, or carrier settings that need to be updated. Additionally, software glitches or bugs in the iOS system can also trigger the iPhone to display SOS mode continuously. In some cases, physical damage to the iPhone's antenna or hardware components can lead to signal reception problems, resulting in the device being stuck in SOS mode. Troubleshooting the network settings, checking for software updates, and inspecting the hardware components can help resolve the issue and restore the iPhone's normal functionality.
Update your iPhone or iPad
Update your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
Check for a Carrier Settings update
To manually check for and install a carrier settings update:
Make sure that your device is connected to Wi-Fi.
Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see an option to update your carrier settings.
To see the version of carrier settings on your device, tap Settings > General > About and look next to Carrier.
If you insert a new SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you need to download the carrier settings for your new carrier.
