What is the meaning of SOS in mobile phones?

Answer 1

SOS is the international distress code in Morse Code, devised for the earliest wireless communication because the signal was easily recognized in any language (...---...).

In more modern times, people have made up many expressions to correspond to the letter combination; but in most cases, it still means 'help' or 'emergency'.

Answer 2

The SOS indicates that you can only place emergency calls. Usually this means that you have a bad SIM card in your device, either one that has been corrupted or one from another carrier that is not compatible with your BlackBerry. You will either need to replace the SIM with a SIM from the carrier of your handheld or get your BlackBerry unlock. This feature is actually something that the carriers don't really advertise. Where you are able to place emergency calls to 911, even if you don't have a carrier account, just need a working cell phone.

Answer 3

"SOS Call" is a call to an emergency number such as 911 in North America or 112 in most of Europe. SOS calls are handled specially.

Answer 4

If your mobile phone says 'SOS only' on the display - it means it's been locked, and will ONLY call the emergency services.
