There is a phone number to call an emergency operations centre in South Africa.

Quoting:
"Members of the public are advised to call the NICD Emergency Operations Centre during working hours on 011 386 2000."

See if you can get to the settings for Mode - most phones lock into "Emergency Mode" if a call is placed to 911. There should be choices for Normal, Airplane and Emergency.

Emergency calls only is a symptom where a cellphone loses its registration to a valid network operator. It usually happens to me when I am in another country and the cellphone cannot locate valid operators. Looks like some telcos choose particular network partners. What I do is choose the network operator manually in the phone's setting.

If you are in your home country and this happens, it only tells you that you are out of coverage area and the phone is losing connection to your network operator. Maybe you are inside a building with thick walls which cause poor reception. You may try choosng an area where the symptom goes out.

This means you're either out of signal or you've been cut off by your operator. Sometimes when your phone has no signal it can link with passing satellites, and by law, they have to allow you to use their transceiver but only for Emergency Services (999). This is why you have that message. OR You have been cut off and can only use the phone in case of emergency, call your operator and find out which one it is! :)

PUK = Phone unlock code.
Means you've put a password on your phone - and you've entered it incorrectly 3 times.The Only way to get rid of it is to contact your Mobile Operator

cal ati he jati nai emerjency ata he

myt phonw is acting up and when i turn it on it says sos calls only

when I was getting that message "emergency calls only" it was becasue I had forgotten to add money to me pay as you go T-Mobil account. The moment I added money it worked.

my mobile phone is puk and it wont turn on. it dose but it says emeergency calls only

hello sir,
this emergency calls only is seen only when ur SIM is not activated or ur cell phone dosent catches the signal. Well it shows the signal full but thats the FAKE signal.
If ur SIM is activated try the MOBILE NETWORKS in the SETTINGS option  >  Connectivity
U will search for new networks and u will find ur NETWORK Operator

If ur SIM is invalid u wil continue receving the same message  "emergency calls only"
