My phone shows "No Service" or “SOS Only” with my SIM

Work through these steps in order — most issues fix within the first few:

  1. Restart your phone — power off completely (not just lock screen), wait 10 seconds, power back on. Wait a minute for the signal to return.

  2. Toggle Airplane Mode — turn it ON, wait 10 seconds, then OFF. Wait a minute.

  3. Check your subscription is active — open the Zable app and go to the Zable Mobile section.

    • "Payment Failed" or "Suspended": update your payment method in Settings. Service reactivates within 5–15 minutes

    • "Cancelled": resubscribe in the app

  4. Check your eSIM settings:

    • iPhone: Settings > Mobile Data > Zable — line ON, Mobile Data ON, Data Roaming ON

    • Android: Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Zable — SIM Enabled, Mobile Data ON, Roaming ON

  5. Remove and reinstall your eSIM — you'll need your original installation QR code. If you don't have it, email support for a new one before doing this step.

    • - iPhone: Settings > Mobile Data > Zable > Delete eSIM, then reinstall

    • - Android: Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Zable > Remove, then reinstall

  6. Reset network settings — last resort only. This will erase saved WiFi passwords, Bluetooth pairings and VPN settings.

    • - iPhone: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Setting

    • - Android: Settings > System > Reset Options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth
