You’re out somewhere and notice you cannot get cellular service on your iPhone.  You look at the single indicator, and notice the word SOS on it. What does that mean and how do you get rid of it?

When you see the word SOS on the iPhone, it means you do not currently have cellular service, and you need to either use another cell phone to contact your provider, or do the following to try and get it back yourself.

  1. Turn Airplane Mode off and then on again.
  2. Reset the phone. 
  3. Take out the SIM card, and then put it back in.
  4. Try updating Carrier Settings. 
  5. Try WiFi Calling (if available).
  6. If the above doesn’t work, call Apple Support.
