Wondering could anyone help? From the new update yesterday my phone sim doesn't work unless connect to wifi. When wifi is off I can't make or receive calls, data won't work. I basically get "Emergency calls only" on my phone. 

I've tried turning settings on and off
Reset network settings
Been in developer options
Factory reset
 Now i am at a loss on what to do as it's still not working unless connected to wifi 

Please help 😔

Hi there. Sorry to hear this. You can try to take your sim out of the slot and reinsert to see if it works. If it doesn't. You can also head over to settings > connections > select sim manager > then make sure your sim card is turned on. If it doesn't work. Then reach out to your mobile phone provider for additional help

Yeah I tried all that and when I put the sim into another phone it works fine just no longer working in my primary phone. I'm gutted 😢

Is your S25 on the One Ui 8 beta program by any chance?

No worries. Have you got flight mode turned on? If so then switch that off.
