If you see No Service or Searching in the status bar on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular), your device isn't connected to a cellular network. If you see SOS or "SOS only" in the status bar, your device can still make emergency calls.

To use two network providers, your network provider must unlock your iPhone, or both plans must be from the same network provider. Contact your network provider for details. If you have an enterprise or corporate data service plan, check with your company administrator to see if they support this feature.
