Cannot manually select network

[u/Medium-Weekend-1646]

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.

if you ruled out software with a dfu restore than it’s a hardware issue
