iPhone stuck in SOS mode after update

My phone says sos after I just updated it. I already tried airplane mode, turning off cellular data, as well as shutting the phone off and restarting. Still no service only sos. It was fine before the update

Mine literally is doing the exact same thing after it updated last night. Is there a way to get it out of SOS and back onto cellular data? I’m connected to Wi-Fi now but about to leave for work. February 22, 2024

Okay I literally JUST updated my phone. I’ve been home all day. I use consumer cellular and never have had this issue before. Everything still works though. Like I’m still connected to my WiFi. And I’m able to search things up, scroll through TikTok. Is this an update thing or a service thing? I just want the SOS symbol to go away.

There is a massive cellular outage in the U.S. There is nothing you can do until the network issues are resolved. You can try using Wi-Fi calling.
