iPhone stuck in SOS mode? It's not just you: AT&T outage affects cell network

SOS service indicator shown on iPhone in front of a blurred map showing network outage hotspots.

If your iPhone is showing an SOS message where your signal should be showing, don't panic! You're not alone. Reports from outage trackers and social media indicate that carrier AT&T is currently experiencing network issues causing iPhones to enter a no-service state.

SOS on iPhone is a common issue reported when there is interference or disruption to your device's cellular signal. If you're using an iPhone 13 or earlier, you may simply get a message indicating "No service," which is far less daunting, to say the least, though equally frustrating.
