    Carrier Switching from Grandfathered to AT&T Unlimited Plus?

    I was considering finally giving up my grandfathered unlimited plan and switching to the newer AT&T Unlimited Plus. But the comparison feature on my account shows I'd pay MORE. Is that what I should expect?

At that time I was completely unaware of the GSM/CDMA things, so I just paid off my bill and unlocked my phone on T-Mobile's...

    iPhone X Users - How many bars of service do you have?

    What provider are you using? (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint) What model do you have? (A1901/Intel/GSM or A1865/Qualcomm/GSM&CDMA) Where do you live? (Urban or Rural) Does anyone think they are having signal issues compared to your previous iPhone? What model are you upgrading from?

    On the “verify carrier” page of the Apple Store app for buying a new iphone, it populates billing zip and ssn credentials that are incorrect and prompts manual entry. Where is it pulling this information from and is there a way to get it to auto-fill correctly?

    Thought: Not charging $10 for Apple Watch would help carriers

    I thought about it and it would be wise for carriers not to charge for LTE on the Apple Watch because: -Customers are using their existing data. It’s not like you’re adding an iPad to your plan that comes with 5 gigs for an extra $15 -Using your Apple Watch instead of iPhone will use less data...
