    Billing question for you.

    I have three lines on Framily. Two of the lines have the unlimited data add-on; the third line has the base 1 GB allotment. However, when viewing usage on the My Sprint website, all 3 lines show usage out of Unlimited.

    Has anyone else seen this? Was there any announcement about converting limited data plans to unlimited? Nothing has changed on the bill.

    I'm curious if I could just drop the $15 unlimited data add-on from the other 2 lines but actually still keep unlimited. 

    My friend is on the same plan on her 2 lines, and they are both still showing unlimited data since the pandemic started.

    I’m having issues with my iPhone 11 Pro. It seems as though data stops working out of the blue. I don’t know it, until I got to use check mail or something.

    Turning airplane mode on, data off and and on don’t fix the issue. I have to reboot the phone to get data back up and running. And even then, it goes back out again.

    How often does this happen? Hopefully it's just a network issue and not a phone issue.

    Coming from a X, I’m using the Max Pro and it’s great! The battery literally lasts me all day (7:45am - 10/11pm). It appears that my data connection is better when it comes to speed, upload and even at my desk where my phone(iPhone X) would fall to 1x or 3G, it now holds onto b25/b26.

    Glad to hear that. Sounds very promising that it's working well.

    Thanks.  I tried about 50 different things... including signing out of my iCloud on my phone and my MBP then signing back in.
     

    What ended up appearing to fix it was turning off WiFi on my MBP, and connecting my phone via UsbC->Lightning cable, THEN enabling hotspot.  I ran a few speed tests from my MBP while still connected to my phone and the connection was stable. Then I disconnected the cable and tried enabling hotspot via Instant Hotspot... and low and behold... it connected and stayed connected.  24 hours later, and I am relatively confident that this was a ‘fix’.

    Glad to hear it's working better now.

    Just updated to 13.1... my macbook will connect to my phone hotspot for about 5 seconds, and then drop the connection.  Infuriating.  :(

    Go into your phone's Personal Hotspot settings, turn off the hotspot, and turn it back on. I did that earlier and my MacBook Pro started connecting again.

    Anyone else use an iphone 11 pro on IOS13.0 on a macbook pro?  I pretty frequently used the 'Personal Hotspot' feature previously and now my macbook refuses to stay connected to my phone.  It worked fine previously.  I cant remember if I dreamed about a known issue with this or if I imagined it, but it does seem like this is broken.

     

    Can anyone confirm that they see the same issue?  Oddly enough, my wife used her iphone 11 pro on ios13 yesterday to give my kids ipads a hotspot... and that worked fine.  Appears to possibly be an issue with ios13 and macbooks?

    I wonder if it's a bug that is supposed to be fixed in iOS 13.1. My MacBook Pro refuses to connect to my iPhone XR, which I updated first.

    So after waiting 2 hrs in line at the apple store I finally have a 11 pro. I can tell you the reception is alittle better then last years iPhones. It is a lot better then the unlocked s10 plus I was using which anything above -112 was useless. 

    Thank you. That’s good to know that it sounds like the modem is better than the XS Max.

    Woo Hoo. Yes I did this time. It was a long setup. I did the wired migration for the data transfer.

    Sprint servers we’re maxed out but was able to do a online swap and I needed to do a dialer code to finish.

    Went with The new AppleCare monthly as it covers this iPhone forever. I plan to keep this one for a while.

    Congrats! Glad to hear you got it! Good thing I didn't order a day 1 phone again. I hate activation nightmares. Yes, when I get my Apple Watch Series 5 I'm going to go for the AppleCare monthly plan as well. It's nice to know we can have our devices covered until discontinuation.

    My iPhone is scheduled to arrive between 2 to 4pm tomorrow.

     

    (wondering who should I pray to to keep the UPS "mice" from stealing my iPhone and putting it on ebay to be sold to a sucker, as it happened last year.)hmmm

    Did you get it?

    Ouch! That would certainly suck if that ever happened to me.

    I was able to get in through Best Buy this afternoon and still have a delivery date of 9/20. The cool thing was they still offer installment billing and it was only $39 per month.

     

     

    Has there been a article posted on here yet concerning the RF performance for the new devices?

    No, but from what I've read online, it appears that the Antennas do have somewhat better performance than the XS & XS Max.

    I'm on SWAC, so I can't upgrade there. Oh well.

    There is something, it is pretty good.

    Got any details you can divulge?

    sprint tried to call me earlier today, but I was busy and couldn’t answer and didn’t have time to call back. They could have just DM’d me the details.

    Carriers not doing deals this year?

    T-Mobile is doing half off with trade in, and I’m still waiting for Sprint to respond on twitter, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

    Not sure about VZ or AT&T.
