Issues with network connection

[usersnLiwQlalD]

Has anyone had issues with thier Samsung S22 Ultra going in and out of the mobile network and staying on either "searching" or "emergency calls only"? This is the second Samsung phone in a row that has started this behavior out of nowhere, and ironically it always seems to happen AFTER I pay the device off. I have tried several things, switching out the Sim, resetting network connections, date and time check, power off and on, restarted phone, went to the T-mobile store which was not much help at all. 

I know I am over due for an upgrade, but this phone is perfectly fine physically, never had any issues with it until this. And it is just baffling to me. Any and all help or guidance would be very much appreciated. I am in no place to be spending over $500 for a new phone right now.

If the second Sim card worked it could be a faulty reader

They did change out the Sim, they even tried to install an Esim and I am still not connecting to a network. It connects intermittently for a few minutes then goes back to "emergency calls" only.

I started having this problem days ago, 8/14/25, to be exact. Are you still having this problem?

[usersnLiwQlalD]

Yep. I sure am.

The S22 Ultra was absolutely the worst phone I've ever had. I had to have it replaced seven times in 2 years. So many hoops I had to jump through.

Same thing happened to mine this weekend..tried everything the tech people say and I finally had to get another phone

Looks like Samsung ot cellular carrier should be responsible for upgrading or replacement

Same here and just as I'd paid it off and gone for a sim only contract! Doesn't sit right with me. It's like they know what they're doing. Trying to get new phone sales. I'll be going to iPhone after this if it doesn't correct itself
