    If your phone displays SOS mode or SOS Only, the device is unable to connect to the mobile network but can place emergency calls. This is typically caused by low signal strength, SIM card issues, or intermittent network connectivity. You can resolve this by first making sure that you're not in an area with poor reception and relocating to a spot that has better connectivity. You can also switch to Airplane mode or back on to refresh the connection. Many times, a network reconnection is enough to fix the problem in no time.
