phone not connected to network

Over the past several weeks I try to make a call and get the same message "Your phone is not registered on a network so yo can only make emergency calls". I have to restart my phone each time this happens. The bigger problem is if someone is trying to call or message me and I'm unaware the problem exists. I've been told it goes directly into voicemail .

I have the Network Operators set to Select Automatically which it has always been since I got my Samsung s23. I recently change it to Xfinity Network Operators. Should I leave setting on Select Automatically or Xfinity Network Operators?

Has anyone else been experiencing this problem?

Thanks

Yes, I keep having the same problem. If you turn on airplane mode for a minute, then turn it off it reconnects as well. Don't know why it keeps happening.

We are both losing service intermittently. It may be fine for days or hours. Then you may miss a very important call. I recently moved and will be ending my 20+ year loyalty to Comcast/Xfinity. It's impossible to talk with anyone on the phone. Their entire ploy is to be unreachable. I'm sick to death of it. It's worth paying any penalties to get out. Xfinity mobile service is causing problems in people's lives. We have all grown to depend on the fact that we have service, when we have paid for service.

I have S24 and have the same problem. I had the same problem with my S23. There is no permanent resolution it seems. These complaints and comments have been going on for a long time and still no fix from Xfinity Mobile. Each morning I check to see if I'm connected to the cell network by checking voice mail -- usually not connected! So, I perform the routine -- airplane mode on then off -- service is restored. No one at Xfinity seems to know anything; they just try "stuff!"

Hello wacrawfordjr. Please reach out to Samsung for troubleshooting this device as it may be something with the phone's hardware.

What a cop out. Asking each time can I help but have nothing concrete to help or a solution that works.
I recently bought A15 from Xfinity Mobile. After a month of working last 3 days I have the same

error "Not registered on the network"
So far I am yet to see any Xfinity professional giving a solution.

I have the exact same issue. Never ever had a problem with our cell phones until we switched to Xfinity now our phones won't call out and no one can call us. It's both my phone and my husband's phone. I'm ready to get rid of Xfinity over the issue.

Hello, user_upwqo9, and other readers. The not registered on a network error indicates your phone sim card might have an issue.

A few troubleshooting steps that may help are:

- Restarting your device, and also checking for any updates

- Toggle the Wi-Fi off for 30 seconds, then turn it back on once more

- clean and reinsert your nanoSIM card while checking for damage and/or using a different sim

Our team can help troubleshoot too. Can you please send a direct chat message with your full name and complete service address to “Xfinity Support”? To do so, click on the chat icon located at the top right of this forum's page.

This is becoming increasingly annoying. My job has me traveling around a lot and I have a 2 year old son that I need to get in contact with when he is sick. I CONSTANTLY have been losing connection even urban cities. It is too a point were I can't even make calls inside my own house, unless I activate wifi calling. This issue has been going on and I have tried switching to airplane mode, I have made three trips to the xfinity store and they have swapped out the sim cards. Yet, none of this has improved my service. It has me thinking about switching to a different carrier. I like Xfinity, I have their cable and internet service. I can't take not being able to make calls and resorting to tips and tricks just to open an app. This problem started back in December I was hoping that it would resolve itself. Anyone know anything that is a permanent solution to this or should I just look for another mobile provider.

i have had the same problem off and on for most of 2024 so far! my phone will not be connected to the mobile network randomly and i dont realize im missing texts and calls until i try to call someone. restarting it helps... turning off the wifi helps... but this is ridiculous. Now to make matters worse, my elderly mothers cellphone started to do the same thing over the last month. I was not able to call her Wednesday or Thursday night this week alone to check on her... she has a samsung s9 and i have a samsung s21 and we're both on my account. I had switched to xfinity a handful of years ago to save money over verizon but it no longer seems worth it if i cant communicate with my loved ones. And yes ive driven to the xfinity store in person for help, they had no answers. they put a new sim card in one of them and it didnt work. i dont have the time in the day to try to troubleshoot Xfinity's problem. It sounds like a lot of people on this thread have done the same. Verizon here i come i guess...

Hi there, @user_7mrv4s! Are you still having this issue? If so, have you reached out to Samsung at all?
