Full signal but 'emergency calls only'

[Anonymous]

Hi there

I got my samsung Galaxy S6 last week and it was great until yesterday when I noticed that my phone was on emergency calls only even though I have 3/4 bars of signal

I have checked the signal in my area and it is fine but then I got told to check the network operators and try to connect manually. I tried to connect to the O2 - UK option and it says "Unable to connect. Try later"

Any help is welcome

Thanks Kyle

Try removing and cleaning the sim. Reboot the phone and see if that helps.

Where did you get the phone from?

Oh gawd I hope not...

Well it's not a sim issue if it's showing signal bars so it's the next logical step.

I think those are good odds. Pity @Anonymous hasn't come back to the thread....:smileysad:

Probably because they don't want to realise the extent of what the situation is
