I can't send messages or receive them on my phone or ipad and I have an SOS on the top bar corner. Help please.
I am not at work and by myself. Also it it showing that the SIM is NO SIM
Even when the SIM is inside the device. I tried to take it out and put it back in. Turning on and off my I phone and didn't work.
how can I call my carrier if I can't have outgoing or receive calls??!!>
SOS means that your phone has lost its connection to your carrier's cellular network.
So, contact your carrier and ask them for help reestablishing service.

Have you looked at and followed any of the steps in the following link?
If you see No Service, Searching, or SOS on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
The bottom line is your phone is having communication issues with your cell service. You will need to contact your cellular carrier and work it out with them. It might be something as simple as a bad SIM card.
How you contact then is something you will have to figure out.
If you have a SIM, take it out and re-insert. That worked for me without even starting my device. Also make sure you didn’t accidentally turn off your cellular data by swiping down on your screen. Hopefully this helps

Do you read the article linked to in the very first post in this thread?
If you see SOS, No Service, or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Check to ensure there are no new updates to the phone.
If so, install the update.
If that doesn't work, then turn cellular data off, then on.
If that fails, then power off your phone.
Lastly, contact your carrier for assistance.
Hope that helps. The first worked for me.

SOS in general means that the only calls you can place through the cellular phone network are emergency (911) ones. There could be various reasons for that.
If you have a locked SIM, the carrier (phone company) has protected the SIM with a passcode (PUK code), and yo need to supply that code to use the SIM. If you don't know the code, you need to contact the carrier.

Note that the OP did not say that he or she had a locked SIM. The SOS indication on his or her phone could thus be due to an entirely different cause.
You may need to contact your carrier for help -
