Speaking for my wife, this does not apply.

She's on 8.1.1. No WiFi calling. Until last week I was on 8.1.2, again no WiFi calling. I have it disabled on my current phone.

Same issues. Call failure, voice breaking up.

I thought you wife was using iPhone 6s - can't be on 8.1.1 is she has a 6s.

If you simply disabled it that won't work. Enable it again then delete the emergancy address then disable. Then do ##UPDATE# on the phone to be sure wifi calling is off.
 
Quick question for anyone that may be able to help me. I am trying to help a friend upgrade her phone. She currently has an iPhone 4S.

I logged into her Sprint account and it shows "eligible for upgrade". I was going to sign her up for iPhone Forever plan and get her a new iPhone 6S Plus. When I go to upgrade on the website it will NOT switch her phone plan to the iPhone Forever $60 unlimited plan. Right now she is on unlimited my way and paying $80 a month. I want to get her the $20 a month savings of the new iPhone Forever plan but it just won't go through on the website.

I was hoping to avoid calling Sprint or going into a store. Can anyone tell me if they are having a similar problem? Will this option become available after she orders the phone and then we can switch it? I just want to make sure we are doing it the right way so she doesn't get locked into this $80 plan with her new iPhone.

Happen to my sister - she was on the my way plan which is not comparable with the iPhone forever - so she went back to her everything data 750 and it worked - just change the plan and in 3 hours it will go thru - I caught it the morning of the preorder day and changed her plan and preordered that night

So, let me ask you something. Does your wife have WiFi calling enabled on her phone? Turns out there is a bug with this and if you have it on it kills sprints HD voice. HD voice will not work when a call is sent over WiFi and this is "by design". However, when on a cell based call HD voice should still work even with wifi calling enabled, yet currently, due to this bug that is not the case. I know this from first hand experience. I turned on wifi calling when I got my phone and I could not understand a word my wife was saying when I called her phone (iPhone 6s plus to IPhone 6s Plus) she also reported that I sounded horrible and couldn't understand me. So, I searched for the problem and found out about this bug. To fix it so the following.
1. Settings - Phone - disable wifi calling you also need to delete he emergency address that was entered.
2. Then go to phone and dial ##update# to refresh your services.
3. Make a test call to another sprint phone and after a second or 2 HD voice should kick in and be very clear.

I turned on wifi calling after she complained about it for a day(so that doesn't appear to be relevant for us), but I will try that tonight just to see if that helps. Regarding the other comment about facetime audio.. I'll let her give that a shot as well. Thanks for the tips.

Right now my wife has a jailbroken Sprint iPhone 6 on 8.1.1.

We purchased a T-Mobile iPhone 6s for her. Right now I am in the process of updating that phone to 9.0.1.

My wife's problems were with her Sprint iPhone 6 on 8.1.1.

iOS 8.1.1 does not have WiFi calling capability. Your suggestion is irrelevant on that firmware because WiFi calling did not come until iOS 8.3. Further to that, she has already had the PRL update you mentioned. I had her do it last week.

However, none of this matters any more. We are porting out for T-Mobile today. THAT will solve the issue entirely.
 
Hello all,

I wasn't going to upgrade my 6 Plus but I saw this press release this morning: http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-rel...m?ECID=SM:TW:P:UnlimitedPressRelease:09302015.

I definitely want to get in on the cheaper plan rate since I'm at the old $80/month unlimited plan and I doubt its gonna go under $60 anytime soon in a future promotion. So just wondering if anyone has ordered a 6s Plus after launch and what their ETA to receive the phone is? I'm expecting to wait till Mid-End Oct.
 
I went in local Sprint store to pre order the 6s Plus 64gb (was told by other locations its on a 4-6wk back order) When I got their I was told they just got a new 128gb space grey 6s Plus on their shipment. Snatched that right up. Coming from the reg 6, I'm loving the Plus!
 
Well just got back from the Sprint store, bit the bullet and I'll be paying $75/month for a 128GB 6S Plus with the Unlimited plan. Pretty sweet deal, just gotta wait for it to arrive.
 
I ordered a 6s + SG 16gb on 09/30/15. Still no movement. Anyone else order post iPhone launch through the sprint website and have any movement on their phone shipping? I was reading on other threads that AT & T users are ordering post launch and their phones are shipping 1-2 days. The only model that seems slow are the Rose gold ones.

Ordered mine yesterday, nothing either, I would imagine that ATTs allocation of iphones is much greater than Sprints.
 
Anyone just went into the Apple Store and upgrade.... I did, all the local Apple stores were sold out burnt drove to another one 100 miles away and snagged 2 64GB 6+s Silver and Gray
 
Ordered on Thursday, just got shipping notification, will arrive Wed. Of course I regret not getting the overnight shipping lol. iP6s+ 128gb SG

I tried to.
I have reserved a 6S+ RG 2 days in a row now. My upgrade is veiwable on sprints side but apple still shows I have to pay full price.

you sure you don't just have a lease upgrade vs a full subsidized upgrade?

Im not sure of the difference. I paid the remainder of the balance on my 6plus Saturday. When I get on the Sprint website I have a green check saying I'm eligible for upgrade.
