My iPhone XS is stuck in SOS mode after iOS 16 update, 2 days back.. Already tried following things, but no solution till now😞.

  1. Aeroplane Mode ON and OFF (Tried more than 10 times)
  2. Cellular Data ON and OFF (Tried more than 10 times)
  3. Forced Restart (Tried more than 5 times)
  4. Normal Restart (Tried more than 5 times)
  5. Reset >> Network Reset (Tried more than 5 times)
  6. SIM Card Swap (SIM card works on other devices, but just not on my iphone XS) (And other family members active SIM card do not work on my iPhone XS)
  7. iOS Update after connecting to myTunes through Recovery Mode
  8. Enough Free Storage space (More than 4 GB free space)

What should I be doing more? Please help

Turn cellular data back on and notify your wireless carrier to have them check to see if the closet tower to your location is having issues.

Have a look in Settings, Cellular if you’re in manual network selection.

If you have a manually selected network, it could be that the selected network does not allow you to connect to it.

I tried this multiple times. Also, as I mentioned in original post, I tried swapping SIM card with my spouse phone, and SIM card works on Spouse phone successfully.
