AT&T Microcell not working with new iPhone 6s Plus

Anyone having issues with their AT&T Microcell? Just got a new iPhone 6s Plus. It doesn't recognize the AT&T Microcell signal. Have restarted Microcell and iPhone.

I deactivated it. Waited 20 minutes, reactivated it and boom it was working again.

go into the settings and change the nickname for the affected phone.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Upgraded from an iphone 6 to 6s, that last phone (and the last 2-3 devices I've had all iphones) was connecting fine to the microcell. Gave the wife the iphone 6 I had, it still connects fine but the new 6s does not.

Update: I tried changing the nickname on my phone, that didn't work after a couple hours. Now, I'm resetting the whole device.

*** UPDATE ***

Well, a complete de-register and re-register did the trick.. not sure why that was required but at least a user serviceable fix.. all phones are now connected again - well, it was only the new phone that was having the issue.
