iPhone 16 stuck in satellite mode, impacting messaging
iPhone 16 stuck in satellite mode? We reside in a rural area heavily dependent on WiFi. While traveling on roads, we encounter drop zones ranging from 1 bar LTE to SOS. Yesterday working at a client’s home I found myself in an SOS zone. I opted for satellite to send important timely messages. Since returning home, we no longer require satellite. Others are attempting to send messages but they’re not able to due to satellite mode or must select satellite mode to send. I have disabled all satellite-related features on my phone, including airplane mode, cellular, and satellite within cellular. Despite this there’s no indication satellite is active on my phone, yet no one can send messages without the indicator message of satellite mode only coming up. How do I get out of this twilight zone?
