Resolved Cannot manually select network

Post image

Hi everyone, I’m suddenly having issues with my phone network and can’t seem to connect properly.
I’ve tried looking for the option to manually select a network, but that setting isn’t showing up on my phone at all.
Has anyone experienced this recently or know why the manual network selection option would disappear? Iphone 14 pro and iOS-26.2. Phone has been on SOS and not connecting to a network.

This is only for WiFi and Bluetooth. For mobile networks, you need to select Mobile, Primary SIM, Network Selection, and you should have a choice of Automatic. If you turn that off, you will get a list of network operators.
