This triangle icon actually means the “Roaming” feature was enabled on your phone.

When does this roaming icon come out?

Should I worry if this roaming icon appears?

Yes, in most cases, because if you do not turn on roaming services, normally it was disabled by default. For instance, if you are traveling in another country with no signal, where the phone’s roaming feature was enabled by accident or on purpose, it will scan for roaming service from another network and CHARGE (quite expensive) you based on your network’s service subscription terms. The roaming charge can be expensive if your network’s subscription does not bundle with it, therefore turning them off immediately was recommended if you don’t need roaming services. This icon may have changed to other notification icon as follows for different brands of phones.
