I got a new Pixel phone about a month ago and noticed
a curious message scrolling across the top of the screen,
"Emergency Calls Only", yet when I unlocked the phone,
I could make calls normally, so I didn't bother too much
about the message, until a friend sent me a message on
WhatsApp, asking me, why my phone was switched off,
my phone is never off!
So I started the investigation, inside the connections area
there were 2 SIMs listed, #1 had 2345000000, or something
similar, #2 had 23456789, or something similar, while it was
unlocked, it received calls and made calls, but when it was
locked, it didn't, after an hour or so, I got some text under
#1 SIM, "Remove SIM Card", so I did and everything is now
normal, the phone is fully functional, without a SIM Card.
Somebody senior, in a phone shop, couldn't understand why,
the problem arose in the first place, or why the phone worked
without a card, the decided that the 5G system, had changed
to an ESIM, electronic SIM, which is the newest upgrade in the
phone world!!!!!
I thought that I should tell you, to save you having the same
conundrum that I went through.
