Try using a different SIM card on the phone, and/or try inserting the SIM card on a different phone so you can check if you get the same message. If you get Emergency calls only upon using a different SIM on the phone, then it's probably a problem with the phone. If you get emergency calls only upon using the SIM on a different phone, then most likely the SIM card is not compatible with the phone.

answer from z.vijay - i had a similar problem with my samsung phone, it was working very fine with a post paid SIM CARD, but suddenly one fine day, it started giving me the message "Emergency Calls only" for anyone i called. I took it to a Mobile show room, but there was nothing wrong with the phone, then i went to my network provider and understood that the SIM was disconnected for security reasons and high usage. So, remember to always check your SIM with another phone, to check if the problem occurs, and if it does, then contact your network provider.

It's usually a faulty SIM card causing the problem. Remove the SIM card, clean the contacts with a dry, clean cloth - and re-insert the card into the phone. That would usually cure the problem. If the fault keeps happening - contact your service provider for a replacement SIM card.

Emergency calls on the Samsung Galaxy are set up to allow calls to 911 without knowing the phones password. Overriding this feature could have negative consequences. Going into the bios of the phone, this feature can be eliminated.
