My father found an iPhone while out walking his dogs. it’s case and screen protector looked like it saw better days. I finally got it charged, took the screen protector off because I couldn’t take it looking that way 🤣 and it has an sos in the top right corner. It doesn’t have any lost mode information on it but I’ve seen alerts come up for medication and games.

Since my trying to figure out how to find the owner gotten me into this iPhone unavailable, is there anything else I can try to reunite the phone and owner or should I call it a day and dispose of it?

      Not true. That’s apples emergency calling service that uses satellites when the phone has no signal. Looks like the sim has been deactivated.

        Its not the satellite thing. It’s just within range of any cell tower. By law they have to let you make emergency calls even without a sim or plan. This shows up as SOS on iOS.
