You have no signal on your iPhone. Yes, you have Wi-Fi, but not Cellular connection, which is required to send normal Text Messages. You can see it says SOS at the top, above your signal bar next to your Wi-Fi icon.


Try restarting your iPhone, and remember to enter the PIN code for your SIM/eSIM card when it turns on again, so that the phone can connect to your carrier's network. If you still cannot get a signal, you must contact your carrier.

Hehe yes, I'm sure of that. However, contact your carrier anyway so that you can find a solution so that you can get your SIM card opened again.
