SOS Issues w/ iPhone 13

My phone is stuck in SOS. I’ve tried all the published quick fixes including removing and replacing my SIM card. It doesn’t seem to be a network issue as all the other users in my household are not having similar issues. Any suggestions?

Contact your carrier. SOS usually means that your phone is not within range of your carrier's network, or that there is some problem with the account you have with your carrier.

If you see SOS, No Service, or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
