How do you turn off SOS on an iPhone 15?

I've tried YouTube and Googling, but none of the answers help my problem.

SOS is on the top right of my IPhone 15 Pro and I can’t get it off. Please tell me how to take it off?

You can't turn off SOS. Its not a setting, its the result of an issue.


Your iPhone will go into SOS mode, when it cannot connect to your carrier or activate your service, but can still place emergency calls.


To resolve the issue, you need to make sure your iPhone has an active eSIM with active service tied to it.


Contact your service provider for help with that as explained in the support document you posted from.
