My phone told me that it takes “Emergency calls only” what does it mean, and how long will it last?
Have you ever received a similar message from your phone?

Try this website ‘Emergency calls only’
Power it off and leave it off for at least 30 seconds then power it back up is easiest.
Used the Airplane mode too !
In settings there should be a way to shut off WiFi and phone for flying in a an Airplane.
What that sometimes means is that your SIM card has gotten loose (or gone bad) is no longer identifying your phone to the cell phone network. The network sees that a phone exists, but can’t tie it to an account.
The reason it says “emergency Calls Only” is that by law, all cell phones, whether on a contract or not, have to connect to 911.
Reasons for the SIM not working:
– your contract ended and you didn’t renew
– you are late on payments and they cut you off
– the local tower for your network is down
– the SIM card got loose.
Go for aeroplane mode it’s better.
