Set up new iPhone, and can’t get cellular to work. Shows SOS. How do I get cell service on? The new phone is the 15 pro max

Set up my wife’s new 15 pro max, and I can’t seem to get the cellular to work, and is showing SOS. Pulled everything from the cloud. Everything looks the same as old phone. Apps all downloaded, just issues with getting cellular on.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16
