    iPhone SE (2016) Iphone SE ATT unlimited data tablet prepaid LTE problem

    I am not sure if this plan is not supposed to work with LTE but people claim it does. I looked up the ATT LTE bands and they match with the Iphone 6 SE LTE bands for all models so theoretically this should work. I downloaded the APN profile from unlockit.co.nz and the 4G works but not LTE. Does...

    Calls to LTE Apple Watch Number?

    Hello! I recently got a Cellular/LTE Apple Watch (Series 4) that I activated on Verizon. My number sharing works fine (calls to my phone number properly ring on my Watch when my Watch is on LTE). However, the number that was assigned to the Watch also will ring through to the Watch when I'm on...

    Cellular or Wifi?

    I am wondering what is the reason to use a cellular over the wifi? In many countries you can rent a mifi cheaper than a cell + data plan so I'm wondering why do people choose a cellular model?

    Apple Watch 3 Series buying abroad

    Hi there, I live in the UK but will be in the USA next month. I had hoped to pick up a 3rd Generation Apple Watch, GPS Only (NO Cellular). Will this work with a UK bought and used iPhone? Can all features still be used - phone notifications when connected via bluetooth etc? Any help appreciated!

    Other FIX? VZW connectivity + charging issues

    Hi all, Thought I'd share this bit of info regarding both Verizon LTE connectivity issues and the charging nonsense when XS Max is idle. Whilst I originally thought my unit was flawless, I realized that I was affected by both issues I mentioned above and have been debated here and beyond for...

    Cellular S4 customers getting screwed

    by Apple and by their cellular carriers. First, Apple is charging $100 more for the exact same watch plus a cellular modem (which probably costs $2). For the S3 release, original pricing for the cellular model was $70 more than GPS alone BUT the cellular model also came with more storage (16 GB...

    2 LTE watches on 1 iPhone?

    I currently have an AW S3 LTE and an AW S2 that I go back and forth with every other day. I plan on upgrading to the new AW S4 LTE when released and I'll get rid of my AW S2. Is it possible to have 2 LTE watches on 1 iPhone? Would I have to pay for 2 separate plans for the 2 watches or does the...

    Will the S4 have improved LTE performance?

    Even with solid reception (3 or 4 little green dots), LTE was spotty on my S3 when away from my iPhone. I often had trouble sending messages and Siri would just time out a lot of the time. Phone calls were fine when they connected, but occasionally wouldn't even dial out. Does anyone think we...

    How does the Watch behave when cellular is never enabled to begin with?

    Title says it all... When cellular is never enabled on the Watch, does it behave the same as the GPS-only Watch? Is the icon for cell connection still present in Control Center?

    Do iPhones, 7 & up work on all carriers?

    I previously had a 6s & it worked on any carrier. I read this somewhere: “iPhone models 5c, 5s, 6, 6+, 6s, 6s+ & SE were designed to support all major network bands and are compatible with all major network providers. No matter GSM or CDMA, Sprint, or Verizon, these iPhone models will work on...

    iPhone X Does turning Cellular Data off while on WiFi REALLY save battery life?

    Let's myth bust this. I've heard that the phone uses more power to maintain a wifi signal rather than a 3G signal. That probably explains why sometimes when I pick up the phone after not using it for an hour or two, the status bar reads "3G", and then shows the wifi logo after a second or two...

    Careful when Switching Carriers (Verizon)

    When I did initially purchase my Apple Watch (LTE), I used Verizon as my carrier. Later, I switched the phone and the watch to T-Mobile. Turns out that Verizon still charged me for the Watch ($73.18/month!!!). You need to cancel the account and just switching to another carrier doesn't stop...

    iPhone X iPhone X on AT&T - has anyone ever seen/experienced this? (LTE icon)

    No mobile data connection on EE Network (UK)

    Anyone else getting no mobile data connection on the EE network this morning? I'll get one dot on the signal strength for about 2-4 seconds and then the 'Disconnected' message appears. I've tried restarting the AW with no resolution to the issue.

I track my sleep with my iPhone and  Watch every night with the Pillow app, and it has always worked perfectly. Until last night... It seems...
