Does anyone know why a separate SIM was shipped? Why couldn't they just ship the phone with no SIM?
Got a tip for us?

They look the same but have different codes. I don't mind setting the new one up.
Is there a number I have to call or is there a way to do the new one online?
The Batt in the 6+ and the 6S+ is so large that the standard iPhone charger takes a while to charge it. If your looking for more charging performance, go get you a iPad charger. Much faster.
You can do it on the my T-Mobile section of the web site. But you can also use the old one. It won't make any difference.
They are inserted at the factory. At the time of manufacture they don't know the phone is for a replacement or is a first phone. So a Sim is included.
Log into T-Mobile. Go to phones, pick your line, click "change SIM" on the right, follow the instructions. It said "up to two hours" but mine was instantaneous.
BTW, just got all 4 delivered for the fam. Let's just say that it could have been less stressful from beginning to end. At the end everything worked out great so we are all happy.
Congrats to those that got their! Hope you love them! Good luck to those that are awaiting their, I hope they get to you soon!
I wonder if the new SIM card has anything to do with band 12 support. Is it possible that the new sims support band 12??
No a sim has nothing to do with that. I'm on Band 12 right now with my old sim.
Yes it's close to November. But also it can come sooner than 4 weeks. That's at least what I hope and pray. Yes that's the worst part is the fact that we don't know anything at all. Not even a closer round about for how long it may be. It's A LOT of storage but I take A LOT OF PICS. I knew I should have ordered it before now. Shame on me. I hate being in limbo.
Finally delivered! My driver waited for my signature because he didn't wanna leave it on the porch. Cool guy. First impressions...you really have to press the screen hard for 3D Touch? Is it just me? Lol. Also, the vibration motor of the 6S is just like the 4S's. I've missed that!
Lol. Well, it was only one device they charged me for like that. But you're likely right. So annoyed.
Well, you can do that. But T-Mobile won't be laying your etf (or rather your device installment residual). It really depends on how much you can make selling the device versus how much is left on the device. You need to figure out what makes the most sense to you.
You do have to press hard. I read sine where that you can reduce this (apparently there are three levels and it's set to the middle by default) though I haven't had time to look into it further.
Ah yes, thank you. It's right in the Accessibility settings. Default is set at *Medium sensitivity. I have it set to *Light now and this is much, much better.
I always use my iPad charger for a faster charge. I never use the one that came with the iPhone unless I can't find my iPad one.
I was so stoked too, now idek what I'm gonna do, you're telling me I have to send the phone back and wait til I get a new one, BS I've been waiting over a week for this already. T-mobile said it will most likely be awhile if I were to send it in since it's a RS variant, said I should stop by Apple and see if they can do anything for me.
You can see the back light peaking thru at one little particular spot on the screen. That's what happen when they're just pumping them out in the masses. Worst luck I swear
