Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra not connecting to network?

Hello, I've had my ultra for over a month now and everything was fine. Today all of a sudden it dropped a call multiple times and never recovered with trying to connect to the network. I tried restarting my phone, powering it on and off, I did update the phone since it found an update but I had the issue before the update. I've tried Airplane mode turning that on and off. After all of that failed I went to my local store and bought a new SIM card, it fixed my issue for an hour and now I'm right back to the same issue. I also reset the network settings as well. I'm at a loss. I need my phone for work, right now it only works when connected to wifi.

Thank you,

It's not really enough information. Did you purchase this phone from AT&T or directly from Samsung as an unlocked device? Or elsewhere?

I started having the same issue. ATT had me replace the sim card and it seemed to work briefly, he said it could take up to 24 hours. Now I am not even getting calls when connected to wifi. So the issue seems worse. I got my phone in February, preordered it through ATT when the phone first came out. I have to be connected to wifi calling in order to use any features.

Hello, @afrancois1! We understand how frustrating it can be for your device to only have service when connected to Wi-Fi!

I have been having the same connection issues for over 2 months now with my S22 Ultra and absolutely no one has been able to help me with my issue. I have reset my network connections multiple times & installed a new SIM card with absolutely no change in service connection outside of Wi-Fi.

I am beyond frustrated & have been looking into other options for mobile service in my area.

Hi @HWatson, we know how inconvenient it is when you can only call when connected to Wi-Fi.


We're here to help you get connected again. Have you already tried the all the troubleshooting steps in this thread? If not, then let's start with:

Also, since you bought a new SIM card, please make sure it's been activated as well. If it isn't, you'll be able to use that page to activate it yourself.

 

Please share the results with us here.

I have completed the troubleshooting multiple times prior to and after receiving the new SIM card. Spoke with a representative after receiving the new SIM to ensure that it was activated properly.

I have powered up my S20 Ultra and will be putting my SIM card in it to see if the poor connection is device related.

Thank you for keeping us updated, @HWatson.

 

In addition to swapping the SIM card out, please let us know what happens specifically when you make a call. Are you getting an error message, or is the call just dropped? This will help us narrow down what's going on.

 

Please let us know how that goes.

The call does not go through, or when it does, it drops. I am also unable to send texts or use mobile data the majority of time that I am off of WI-FI.

I have used less than 2G of mobile data this month (far below my past monthly average)

We appreciate this information, @HWatson.

 

Please share what happened when you swapped the SIM card in your S20 Ultra, this way we can continue looking into our options for getting you connected outside of Wi-Fi again. Also, let us know if the S22 works using the old SIM card from the other device as well. That'll help us narrow this down too.

 

Please let us know if it helps.
