Got the kids set up with cartoons this morning and thought I'd give the website a try again.

 

Boom.

 

No problems, and the 64GB Silver iPhone 6S is still tracking for delivery on 9/25. The lesson here is that waking up early is a fool's errand...

I have found this the last two times I have preordered phones. I tried right as preorders were first available and had website issues where I couldn't complete an order. When I've come back at 7 AM and tried again, everything works flawlessly and I've received all phones on launch day.

If you're looking to use one of your available upgrades to get a discounted 6+, have it unlocked, and then exchange that line with an older 5C after 90 days and the 6+ is unlocked, you should be able to do that. With that said, if you're willing to buy the phone outright, like others have said your easiest route is to simply purchase a 6+ "SIM free" from Apple. Lastly, don't forget that Apple will be announcing the newest 6s/s+ devices next week which will typically be available for resale shortly thereafter. The current 6/+ devices will most likely have a slight discount and / or you could purchase the newer device for her after that announcement.

I second the idea of waiting about 2 weeks until the new phones are announced and either you can get the new models for the same price that you would currently pay for a 6+ or you can get a 6+ for $100 less regardless of which purchase route you choose.

In general which Sprint & Verizon phones can be unlocked and used on GSM carriers?

Generally speaking, any of the more recent LTE Phones can be put on GSM if unlocked?

Are the SIMS compatible?

 

I assume the answer is yes or this thread wouldn't exist. Long time ago I used an AT&T Sim in an unlocked Verizon Imagio Smartphone and it worked. It was an HTC Imagio.

The reception was awful on both AT&T and Verizon.

I have used my iPhone 6 on both Sprint and T-mobile (pretty disappointing service compared to Sprint in my area BTW) in the U.S.

Lol I almost forgot I had that phone. I've emailed them twice about returning it. It's funny how I keep getting reminded on why I stay with Apple

Which model did you have for your trial?

Looks like mostly minor changes involving reordering of some partners and removal of a handful of others, including all carriers in geographies 19-21.

 

- Trip

 

Which areas are included in geographies 19-21?

Can you call cellphones numbers to Mexico or just landlines on the open world plan?

You can call any phone number in Mexico, landlines or mobile numbers.

I am looking forward to trying this out in the Cancun/Isla Mujeres area in early December.

Did everyone with a phone get in on the test drive right away? I have tried a few times since I heard about it but every time I check it says they are temporarily out of stock and to check back later...

I was at the state fair last night. Data wasn't too fast but it was still usable. I was locked on B26 every time I checked.

Now it will be interesting to see if 8.4 can be jailbroken with the same method as 8.3 or if we will have to wait for a new exploit

I tried calling today and was told that these are in a "trial period" and that she was not able to send any out at this time. She then offered an airave...

Same thing happening to me in Wisconsin except that texts still work, I just get 10 copies of each message sent to me...

Apple Pay: The coolest thing ever invented by Apple ever.

Until you go to Subway and the cashier insists that the only way to pay with your phone is to download the Subway app and scan the QR code....

 

It took me about 45 seconds of me telling him to just select the option for me to pay with a normal credit card before he changed the payment method, the NFC logo pops up on the card reader, I was able to pay with Apple Pay.

Does anyone know what version of iOS 8 is on the iPhones that Apple is currently selling at its stores?  

I am about to take my phone in for a faulty home button and I was wondering what version of iOS would be on a new phone if they replace mine.

I've never had good luck with any rep ever calling me back on either Sprint or Verizon. I hope the last guy I talked to does call though. He seemed to really want to help, unlike the woman I talked to a couple weeks ago.

I have had a rep that actually called me back before.  I am on an employee account though so that may make a difference.  I was very impressed with the effort he put in to help me out.

Almost everyone I know has an iPhone. I think 1 person I talk to has a moto x.

Shhh!  Don't tell AJ that...

I just read up on it. Apparently, you can only leave if all participants are using iMessage and have iOS 8 installed. Meh.

You beat me to it...

Back on topic. Wasn't iOS 8 supposed to have a feature where you could "leave" those annoying mass messages that friends start up? Every time I see the option to "leave group," it's grayed out. I do, however, see a "mute conversation" toggle switch in the message details. Has anyone ever successfully "left" a mass sms?

I have the option on all of my group messages. 

 

 

Are they MMS or imessage??

 

I did have a similar problem last night around 8-9 PM in Menomonee Falls.  There didn't seem to be an issue this morning.

Signal 2 working on iPhone 6.

 

Did you notice that signal 2 doesn't show the connection to 1X with a LTE connection simultaneously like it did with previous iphones?

I believe this could be a sign of CSFB...

Doubtful.  If our email system (University of Wisconsin) goes down, or really has any issues at all, then all hell breaks loose on campus.  I definitely would've heard about that.  Also, as soon as I opened my Mail app the messages came flooding in.  My personal email account was doing the same thing too.  Definitely something strange was happening though.

 

I tinkered with it a little bit more this morning by switching Push on and off like 10 times...  maybe it finally took hold.

 

I have been having the same problem but I had it before 8.1 also.  I frequently receive emails from the night before when I check my phone during breakfast.  I didn't have to open the mail app for the messages to appear though.

Not particularly pertaining to Apple though. If a solution such as this is developed for general use, do you guys think that carriers would be willing to use something like this so people could easily switch carriers.

Something along those lines was my first thought when I started this thread.  It would be nice to have an unsubsidized device that could jump from carrier to carrier without switching sim cards.

I'm also curious if the new iPad supports all of the correct bands for each carrier. If so, why can't they do the same in an iPhone and sell one model across all carriers?

It would be nice if something similar to this would be an option for phone service for everyone that uses multiple providers.

So, Apple just announced that iOS 8.1 will be available Monday and will enable Applepay on iPhone 6's.
