T-Mobile Tells Customers Not to Install iOS 10 on iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and SE [Update: Fixed]

No one knows who is at fault here. This sounds like a carrier update gone bad. Maybe a 25.2 fixes the issue.
I'm at the office right now and 25.0 really wreaked havoc for me as I have horrible building penetration w/ my 6.
I just upgraded to 25.1 and am seeing a noticeable improvement.
Pretty moot for me anyway as my 7 is coming tomorrow w/ that miraculous extra LTE band which should hopefully solve my dead zone problems.

First the Cult of Apple asks "who in their right mind updates their iOS immediately upon release, you should always wait at least a couple of hours."
Then there were those that said "NOPE ... no way ... as least a day or two before updating."
Now this "at least a week"
Who's next with their suggested wait . it . out . time . period?
I've been running iOS 10.0.1 for 5 days and haven't had any problem
Oh wait, I have at&t
Nevermind!

It's probably already been said but my guess is this affects those using T-Mobile on the 700Mhz and/or 1700Mhz bands whereas those on 1900/2100 are fine. T-Mobile is no different than any other carrier when it comes to screw-ups so bashing them is low-hanging fruit.
Updated two iPads (one Wi-Fi, the other AT&T) and two iPhones (AT&T) to iOS 10, no issues.

You'd think this would be caught in the 10th developer preview
T-Mobile CEO John Legere says T-Mobile customers who own an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, or iPhone SE should not install Apple's iOS 10 update, released on Tuesday. According to Legere, iOS 10 is causing those three iPhone models to lose connection to the T-Mobile network.
Legere's comments come following customer complaints that started circulating following T-Mobile's latest carrier update, 25.1. It was initially believed the problem was the carrier update on T-Mobile's end, but Legere says that's not the case.
Apple is working to resolve the problem, but in the meantime, customers should avoid the update. T-Mobile has offered a fix for those who have already updated to iOS 10 and are experiencing connectivity issues - restart. According to the company, the only way to resume connectivity is to restart the iPhone each time that it loses connection.
Apple is expected to have a fix ready in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Noticed the issue in the SE today. Bummer. I think they're still signing 9.x so I may roll back tonight if I have a moment.
Testing isn't easy. Sometimes you need a million production users dispersed throughout the country for a bug to surface.
I know a few iPhone 6 T-Mo users with no problems running iOS 10. This still sucks though, hopefully it's patched quickly.
Using 6s with iOS 10 on T-mobile and not having any issues. So apparently it's not every phone?
This happened on my iPhone 6. Right after installing iOS 10 a notification popped up about new carrier settings. I called T-Mobile yesterday about this but they hadn't yet heard of others with the same issue. Hope Apple can fix quickly.
This is not a T-Mobile issue. This is an Apple issue. Their software is what handles connecting to the wireless networks, not T-Mobile. Since T-Mobile's network has not changed in 24 hours...its clear that Apple has broken something in iOS.

If Carrier profile update pops up, refuse it. Leave it so until a new update comes along.
the new iOS is a little buggy. wonder when they'll release an update.. it's usually within a few weeks, right?
I'm having this issue. It happens when you go out of the service area then try to reconnect. I live in NYC, so, when I go on the subway, for instance, I have to restart to get service back. For all of you saying you're not having a problem, try going to a dead spot and see what happens.

I wasn't offered the option. The carrier setting updated when I installed 10.
The iPhone isn't exploding but the sales certainly are!sucks for those affected by this ... but at least the phone is not exploding
