I have the letters SOS, or if I turn my phone upside down it's 505, where my bars would be on my cell phone. Does anyone know what that means?

    Some phones put SOS when you're in a low signal area where all you can do is emergency calling. Others will say "Emergency Calls only" and others have an X on top of the bars to show no signals.

    What kind of phone is it?

    if it's T-mobile, it means you're not getting a signal. Must be roaming out of your neighborhood. I get SOS at my friend's house which is less than 15 miles from mine - stupid cell providers ...

    It's a T-Mobile Blackberry phone. While I was at the transit station this morning it was very cloudy and I thought maybe that was interferring with the signal. Now I'm at work though and the sun is shining and I never have trouble getting a signal but I still can't get a signal. I'll try taking the SIM card out and putting it back in and see if that helps.

    Ok, I just turned my phone off and back on and I'm getting a signal now. I'm so not technologically smart. :embarassed:

    Thanks for all who responded. Save our ship! :laugh: That may have been it except I was on dry land. :laugh:
