The carrier determines what is there. I've used a AirVoice Wireless SIM in my older iPhone on occasion and it tries to display the whole "AirVoice Wireless" which of course doesn't fit. It is only made worse with the signal bars replaced by silly 5 dots in iOS 7 which takes up more space.
 
It's your fault for setting the font scale so large.

Mine has plenty of room.

Why would you tell the carrier to change it when it worked just fine before, this is Apple's fault, they should have prevented this from happening.

They should at least have an option to use bars.

Because only the carrier can give the okay to totally remove it which is what he requested.
 
Still wonder why font and icons in statusbar are bigger in locksreen.
It look so much better in early betas where they was same size. Do you have same problem in homescreen?
 
It should be an easy fix for Apple. Just put an auto-fit logic into the carriers name.
 
The carrier determines what is displayed through the carrier settings update(s).

The carrier does not determine anything. Apple implement a string, or image, to be displayed somewhere in the user interface, by coding their mobile operating system.
 
Yes but they enforce that the carrier name be listed in the status bar. You really think Apple would put it in if they had a choice?

Android does not display the carrier name in the status bar so that explanation is garbage.

Its apples fault for not coding some way to truncate text that is too long.

There are carrier settings that come from the carrier just so you know.
