SOS only error

MamsBrains — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 12:00:24 GMT

Hi,

I am new to sky mobile, I am in America this week and my phone is displaying an SOS Only error message. I have followed the instructions available on the sky website and restarted my phone several time, but it has not worked.

Please check my account, I don't think there is anything more I can do with the phone to fix the problem on my own.

Hi @MamsBrains have you tried turning off automatic network selection in your phone settings then try a manual search and try the networks in the list that comes up.

Yes, it is compatible. It is an iPhone 15 pro max.

Although you don't have to if you have setup a spend cap is it set high enough to cover your stay ?

The spend cap was automatically set to 62.50

The instruction to request network settings does not work for me because it tries to send me a text message and my phone is SOS only.

I tried phoning the support number from another phone, but that number reports a call failed. Is there any way to talk to someone about this?
