YOGYAKARTA - The POS Only warning has been experienced by several iPhone users. When this sign appears on the screen, this smartphone user from Apple will find it difficult to make calls, send SMS, and use the internet network. So what exactly is the SOS Only iPhone?

The appearance of the 'OS Only' sign often disturbs the comfort of iPhone users and makes them confused. When the phone experiences such conditions, then you can only make emergency calls according to the country's code. For example 112 (Europe), 911 (US), 000 (Australia), or 999 (England).

You can't make calls to numbers outside of that, when the phone is in a 'SoS Only' condition. So what is SOS Only on the iPhone and how to deal with it?

The 'OS Only' warning can arise due to several conditions, such as when going abroad and when the provider used is experiencing interference. The SOS Only sign will be visible in the cellular service status bar and replace the network information.

The "Only SOS" sign on the iPhone appears when the device doesn't manage to connect to the operator network. So this condition occurs because your iPhone can't communicate via mobile network, so it can't be used for regular phone calls, sending messages, or even accessing cellular data.

There are some problems that can cause the appearance of the SOS Only status, but it often occurs when you are too far away from the cell tower. The signal range that is too weak to provide services will cause your iPhone to experience this condition. Another possible reason is due to temporary interference on the network or problems with your SIM card.

The "Only SOS" status will not interfere with the application function on your iPhone, be it third-party applications or default applications. You can still access photos, videos, and almost all data stored on your device including messages and call history. But you can't do or receive calls, send messages, or access the internet via mobile network. You can only access the internet when connected to Wi-Fi or using the Fi network.

In addition, you can still make calls to emergency services such as 911 or 112. When you make an emergency call, your iPhone will try to connect to any network available, even if it's not your operator network.

Actually, the 'OS Only' sign will disappear by itself if you are already in an affordable location by the operator or provider used. But if you want the iPhone to function normally to make calls and access the internet, there are several ways you can apply to overcome SOS Only on your iPhone.

That's a review of what SOS Only iPhone is and how to deal with it. The SOS Only sign appears because your device is outside the reach of the operator or provider used. But don't worry because this condition will return to normal when it is already in an affordable location by your provider.
