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

I have an SE and my son has 6s, both space gray. No issues in iOS 10. My daughter has an SE. Hers has been having that issue only since updating to iOS 10. It requires a restart of the phone to correct. Hers is rose gold. May be the combination of iOS 10 on a rose gold SE :p
 
Ugh I wish I would have known this yesterday, my phone has only worked on wifi all day and I've restarted it a hundred times trying to figure out what is wrong with it!

Yup, noticed it an hour ago in a Berkeley, CA location sure to get a strong signal. Earlier in the week I had been getting calls. I have a week old SE, which I love BTW and which uses the same case as my 5 used.
 
I remember seeing a carrier update message early in the week, which I ignored. Popped up again this morning and I accepted it and of course in started getting the no service or limited service signal issues right after. Grrrr

So it's not a carrier profile issue?[/QUO
I've been running beta all along on t-mobile network w/o any issues. Only change was carrier update since I had IOS 10.0.1 GM running which was same as official release. Still no problems. Wonder what happens tomorrow when I activate my iPhone 7?

Yet another reason not to be on T-Mobile. I am on att and have friends on Verizon who updatedcto iOS 10 no problems what so ever oh well lol... I like how T-Mobile is blaming Apple. Seeing as it's only T-Mobile haveing the issues seems like it might have been caused by the carrier setting update just my thought. Or not just looking at the evidence.
 
I just received a Carrier Update to version 25.2 so there's the answer. It was the T-Mobile carrier update 25.1 that they pushed and not iOS 10 causing the issues just as I had said earlier...

Been using iOs 10.01 for an entire day on my 6+ in California using T-Mobile. No problems. I've been in and out of buildings, used wi-fi calling, visual voicemail....

PS - As I typed this, a carrier update was automatically applied to my phone.

Free international text and data, and unlimited talk/text/data in the US on two lines for less than $100/month? I'm not complaining.

What good is unlimited and cheap when you don't have service or only 3G? You must not travel much.

Good thing they told users two days after the official release!

Seriously, do none of this come up in the GM testing at Apple or T-Mobile?

Apple made this mess by getting lazy and failing to test properly before release. Being big and powerful they know they can ship poor quality and get away with it.
 
I have been on public beta for weeks now and no issues....Put up with a lot of software issues but no phone calls. I updated to 10.0.1 two days ago and then BOOM, T-MOBILE for the win with no service....Thank God this has been fixed....

Hmm. The SE I have on T-Mobile hasn't gotten one, I also manually tried to get it. Maybe that is what is broken. Apple botched the update system.

Or T-Mobile pulled the update at some point? Or something else might be in play?

You must be thinking of Sprint, as I've never seen the 3G symbol on my phone with T-Mobile and I've done my fair share of traveling. In fact, I've never noticed anything but LTE really.

Anyway, it seems a carrier update was recently pushed out so this problem may have been rectified.

Hmm, I thought I wasn't affected then went out and back into service range, and bam no service.

It's interesting, because the phone went from LTE to 4G to Edge to no service then never came out.
 
Thanks!. I was reading my this on my T-Mobile connected ipad. Checked the version, saw it needed updating, was told of the update, and ... Done!.:)
 
Just got an SMS from T-Mobile informing of the update. Seems to be successful. Would be great to have gotten notice of the update asap though...

Funnily enough, the SMS is phrased as though iOS 10 is the problem:

"Current version of iOS 10 has connectivity issues."

Uhh, way to take no responsibility for the problem. Based on info going around it sounds like it's likely T-Mobile's fault if anything, or at least both parties. (Though again, there was no issue at all on the iOS 10 beta, only when updating to the 25.1 carrier version...)

At least it's fixed and while annoying, wasn't as bad as having to connect to iTunes to install 10.0.1 since the OTA borked my SE.
