Sometimes, like all computers, it needs to be restarted. Your phone is really a super-powered computer that’s so reliable that you very rarely even think about it. It’s pretty easy to fix this, as long as you have the ability to pay your bill. At this point your phone may show “SOS” or it may show “No Service” at top. But, if you aren’t paying for cell service, at some point they will stop giving it to you. Sometimes the card or account number on file isn’t current. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have a bad cell carrier, as long as it doesn’t happen a lot in places you normally go. You might have traveled outside the country or just to a place where your carrier doesn’t have complete coverage. If you are in an area where your cell carrier has no towers but another carrier does, you might get this message. For Example: You might be outside of your service area. None of them are as scary as you might think. Pretty much the only number you can dial is 911. If the top of your phone shows “SOS” instead of LTE or 5G, it means that you can only use the phone for emergency calls. But if you’re the sort of person who just likes knowledge for its own sake, here’s the answer. This is something you hopefully won’t ever have to know.
