In addition, my wife has iPhone 13, iOS 16.7 also, she has no problem with our carrier network. Her phone does not go to SOS mode by itself several times a day as my iPhone X does. I think there is a bug in the iOS, our cell reception at home is good, my wife has no problem with SOS mode but I do. Waiting for some better advice besides just turning phone to airplane mode on and off to get back from SOS mode to the LTE. Also, while I m in SOS mode, I cannot receive phone calls even my WIFI is on. Need better support advice!

The link I provided said to contact your cellular data provider.

And what did they say when you called them about their cellular service, a monthly fee that you pay for?
