Yeah, well it makes it so tough that in the places I will use the phone the most, the speeds are lacking. You truly do go "hey" after having 50Mbps and going down to 2-3Mbps. Hopefully when I'm outside it would jump off Band 12 and be a little faster, but still.
Another benefit of T-Mobile was the tethering I don't get on my unlimited with AT&T, but if it's only 2-3MBps, not sure how much I want the tethering.
It's a very tough decision!!
Remember that big A** charge you had on you 6S's? Of course you do. Now you know why you had it even though they never could explain it you.
Question on changing SIM on t-mo website - this is my first time....
The ICCID on my box has a letter on the end. The website does not accept the letter. Is that ok/expected??
Update: I see on the t-mo screen their example shows a number without a letter. My new phone is already on so I looked in the Settings, About screen at the ICCID listed there. It's the same as the box without the letter. Whew! Just had a panic moment there. LOL I will leave this info here to save anyone else from the same worry.

Ya, did y'all take the JOD back to store, or gonna mail them? and this SOB is FASSSSST Feels faster than my iPad air 2 to be honest. Touch ID is like wow blazing fast. The RG looks more Salmon and copper tone vs pink. In some lights it does look a little pinkish...no worries to me tho.
Go into your phones setting under about and it will have the number to use. I believe t-mobiles website shows you what number to use as well, on the sim change page.
It's 7:00 pm now and I still haven't recived my phone ? Is there a point to still wait today or should I give up hope ?
If it's out for delivery then yes. I've received packages as late as 9pm before - I'm sure they're swamped today.
UPS driver could show up as late as 9:30pm (happened to me before), maybe even 10pm but that's pushing it.

Store had no idea what to do with it so they boxed it up put a note on my account and told me to send it using the label provided
Yes it's all that. Thus far very happy, the speed and fluidity are amazing especially coming from an android. Glad I got the smaller 6s although not happy with the wallet case I got so that means is time to go case shopping. I even got my android watch working but I feel a apple watch in the near future. Cheers.
Yes I got a label in the packaging with the phone. Took it to a store because that is what the phone customer service rep said to do but they were pretty clueless
went to buy my safety glass tonight, figured the store was going to be a madhouse. And it was totally dead inside lol. Creepy.
I was just told by t force on Twitter that if you have jump on demand you must return to the store. I was only asking because I tore open the padded envelope they sent it in not knowing I was supposed to return it in that same envelope.Ya, did y'all take the JOD back to store, or gonna mail them? and this SOB is FASSSSST Feels faster than my iPad air 2 to be honest.

LMAO @ not being able to return a phone for JoD in-store.
As much as I love TMO, I've never dealt with such incompetent customer care in my life. They're all reaaaaally nice, but pretty much clueless. Like how in the holy hell is there an issue doing the 1 thing that makes JoD what it is?? THE WHOLE POINT IS TO BE ABLE TO TURN IN A PHONE AND WALK AWAY WITH A NEW ONE.
Unbelievable.

Oh man. Just got mine, and love 3D touch. I can tell that what I once thought of as a gimmick will soon be awesomely useful.
It sure makes a difference for me. On the 6+ I had edge service in my house. Now I have LTE.
I'm all set up and using the new phone now! I love it already! Still trying to determine if I think it's faster though. It's supposed to be, I realize, esp. since I switched from a 5s. It just seems to lag a bit at the moment. Maybe because my email says there are over 6,000 emails! I hate when I switch to a new phone and setup the email, most everything comes in a unread. POP accounts are probably the problem....
As for the signal, I was super excited at first when I saw 4 bars instead of the 2 I normally have on my phone in my house. That was before I activated the new SIM though. Now that it's activated and restarted, I am at my usual 2 bars. Sometimes it goes up to 3, but not the 4 that got me so excited!
Touch ID is screaming fast, that's for sure.

im sitting here reading everyone comments and reviews on the device, if like mines is not in my closet still sealed. lmaooo.. im dying to unleash the beast but will stick it out 1 more night with my gold 6.
does using the sim that came with the S make a difference? is there a way to choose which tower to use?
well, i dropped by my local tmo late in the day and they had plenty of 6s's, but no 6s+'s. i ordered a 6s+ on jod, and i don't mind waiting. its weird that there wasn't really anyone in there. i really wanted the big phone, or else i could of had one today. either they made way more or this isn't an interesting launch for most regular people.
personally, i like the idea of leasing the 6s+ for a year, trading it in, and keeping the 7 for two-three years. the design for the 6 series is butt ugly. i'm only in it for the screen size and battery.
