Nope. I just stopped my update before it could start when I read this thread. A page back someone acknowledges that its crashing the cell service all together, including iMessage, and also touch ID.

Good job Apple! I'm doing an iTunes restore right now! 

I hope I am the only person with this issue. I just upgraded my firmware to 8.0.1 and now my phone is now stuck with *no-service* and suggestions?

Has anyone requested Sprint to fully unlock their iPhone 6 yet?  Just wondering since the Sprint variant will have 20 LTE channels available, if it will operate on other carrier LTE channels?

This website or Sensorly.

thanks...! cool site!

Who's coverage maps? Sprint's? Don't use their coverage maps. They are horribly inaccurate.

 

-Anthony

Oh I did not know that! Where would you go to get a more accurate map?

You should read up on what a PRL does, for you seem very confused. 

 

Nevertheless, http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4085-current-sprint-prls/

now I have to admit its been years since I followed PRL's and tower priorities. I am trying to figure out why my iPhone is not locking on to the B41 band when the coverage map has the whole city covered. 

where can I find out what the latest PRL for the phone. The coverage map in Naperville shows complete coverage for B41 but all I was receiving was B25 and B26.

My phone's PRL is: 51102

Wifi calling?

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6 on Crapatalk

The option has hidden itself after being fully activated. I'm guessing we at Sprint do not have that at this time!  

Good morning Guys! after 3 1/2 hours I have a activated iPhone 6P 128 Gray now on to the REAL question!

 

I noticed that my WIFI calling is on is it really working? How can you tell?

By the way my phone is hugging B26 at home (drat I was hoping for B41)

Well I have been on hold for over an hour trying to do an ESN swap! I thought you could all laugh at me!

WOO HOO!

I ordered at 3:25am on the 12th

I thought Sprint was done, per John Legere?  Surely there can't be any demand for a new phone on Sprint, is there?

The new IFL plan is pretty exciting and in that you need to get a new iPhone 6 YES they will SELL!

Yikes 4-6 week wait for 6+. Have to wait on ordering from Sprint. Guess the 5 will do for now, only downer is I wanted to use ios8. If they price match wonder how much I could get for iPhone 5 and lg g2?

Your iPhone 5 will receive it's iOS 8 upgrade on Wednesday the 17th! 

I ordered mine BUT 3 WEEKS!

Well....the fun begins Sprint has closed the store to ready it for 2am. 

Who's preordering tonight?

I am if my coffee holds out.  128GB Plus

Well that would just suck for me if they did that. I got rid of my 5 only because I wanted b26. Let's hope for my sake of my sanity that this is not going to happen, ever. lol

The iPhone 5 only has Band 25..... 

It will if you put it on eBay or Swappa as an international unlocked device. I saw a really bad conditioned 5S sell for $490 up-thread.

The biggest issue you will run into is the iPhone 5 only has 5 LTE BANDS which makes it less valuable. The iPhone 5s has 13 LTE bands and it is much more valuable for international clients. 

Its cant hurt to try!  

Man you'll be keeping that plan for the rest of your life!  Mine is free mobile 2 mobile also, but that $70 vs $50 is a killer.  I can basically pay the same as I am now but not have to buy the phone up front and have unlimited everything.

Hopefully Sprint will let me. It requires going through a lot of hoops to use. I can only upgrade online. I can only call Sprint Employees Customer Care. etc.... but it is worth it! 

Sadly No!

 

Sprint does have a buy back program online. 

 

 Sprint-branded iPhones have been manufactured in a way that prevents them from being unlocked to allow the device to activate on a different carrier's network in the United States

That line from above is BS but Sprint holds to it!

You can unlock a iPhone from any other carrier if you pay it off. 

So that won't do any good in terms of getting more value for her 5 then.

Sadly No!

Yes - just call CS and ask for the international unlock.

Now that unlock is for OUTSIDE of the USA only! Sprint will not unlock a iPhone for domestic use! 

Unlocking for international travel

Traveling abroad? Sprint customers traveling abroad for a short period of time can have their Sprint service provisioned to allow for international roaming. See sprint.com/international for full details. 

Sprint customers remaining abroad for an extended period of time may want to try to use their Sprint device with a foreign carrier.  For certain devices engineered to include a SIM slot, Sprint may be able to unlock the device's SIM slot in order for a foreign carrier's SIM card to be inserted. Sprint will unlock, or facilitate the unlock of, the SIM slot of an applicable device for international travel under the following circumstances:

• The person requesting the unlock is a current Sprint customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account.
• The person requesting the unlock can authenticate as the Account Holder or an Authorized Contact
• If the account is an ASL account:
  • There is no unfulfilled Service Agreement associated with the line of service.
  • There is no outstanding Installment Billing Agreement balance associated with the device.
• The account is in good standing (including but not limited to: payments are current, no write-off balance, not associated with a phone sent to collections, etc.).
• The subscriber with which the device is associated has not previously unlocked another device within the past 12 months.
• The applicable device has been active on the associated line of service for at least 90 days.
• The device is currently active on a Sprint account.
• The device is capable of international SIM unlock.

Please note that unlocking the SIM slot does not allow for use with domestic (U.S.) SIMs. When using a foreign carrier's SIM it is important to note that all information, service and support must be provided by that carrier. You remain responsible for any charges to your Sprint account, as well as any charges from the foreign provider. Upon returning to the U.S., you may need to remove the foreign carrier's SIM to be able to acquire the Sprint network.

If you elect to use a foreign carrier's SIM in a locked device for use on international GSM networks, please contact Sprint Worldwide Care to unlock the device SIM slot. Sprint Worldwide Care can be reached via chat or email from sprint.com/swwsupport or by calling 6s888-226-7212.

I have been told that my device is not capable of being unlocked and/or does not have a corresponding MSL code. What can I do?

Many devices that have been manufactured for Sprint simply are not capable of being unlocked, or will not have a corresponding MSL code. For example, Sprint-branded iPhones have been manufactured in a way that prevents them from being unlocked to allow the device to activate on a different carrier's network in the United States. This is because, prior to the development of the voluntary commitment contained in CTIA's Consumer Code for Wireless Service ("Unlocking Commitment") carriers were not required to, and many carriers did not, develop their devices to be capable of being unlocked. Sprint strongly encourages owners of such devices to consider Sprint's Buyback Program, which may enable them to trade in their old devices to receive an in-store credit toward the purchase of a new device or to receive an account credit. For more information, visit sprint.com/buyback. To help resolve this problem, Sprint has committed to ensure that all of its devices produced after February 11, 2015, are capable of being unlocked.

Working for me lol

I just cleared my setting and I'm back! I need to back off the coffee!
