YouTube Description
as posted by the channeliPhone users have reported that their device is stuck on “SOS mode” which is preventing them from making calls or sending text messages amid a major cell phone outage Thursday affecting thousands of users across the US.
For affected iPhone users, the easiest workaround to get the smartphone working again is performing a hard reset — what Apple calls a “force restart” — according to the Daily Mail.
A major cellphone outage affected users across the US early Thursday — even stopping some police departments from being able to receive 911 calls.
AT&T seemed to have experienced the largest number of issues, with nearly 32,000 reports at around 4:30 a.m., according to data from DownDetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from sources including user-submitted errors on its platform.

Others reported issues on smaller carriers including Boost Mobile, Consumer Cellular and Straight Talk Wireless.
