Network Pass doesn't work on iPhone 14 Pro
Hello, Long time Verizon Wireless customer, fed up with poor service / zero coverage at my home...in a major city (Boston). I'm eager to test T-Mo to see if it will work better for me. Installed the T-Mobile app on my iPhone 14 Pro (running latest software - iOS 16.0.3) and began the setup for the free 3-month "Network Pass." Went through setup to install and activate a second eSIM -- I now have the Verizon eSIM configured as the "Default Voice Line" and the T-Mobile eSIM configured for "Cellular Data". After doing so, the phone does connect to T-Mo with what appears to be reasonable signal strength (fluctuating between 2-3 bars, and between LTE / 5G / 5GUC). When I turn off wifi, however, I can't access the internet. (From Safari, Chrome, or Firefox...if I try to browse to 'google.com', browser will just spin and eventually timeout...and even if I rule out a DNS issue by browsing to '1.1.1.1' I get the same result--timeout. ...Other 3rd-party apps also can't connect.) But the odd thing is--there's DEFINITELY some data connection(!) -- I get push notifications immediately, and I can send/receive iMessages (bubbles are blue). I've placed a couple calls to T-Mo for assistance, but can't seem to get past 1st-level reps and to someone who can actually help to identify what the problem is (I do have an open ticket...in case a T-Mo tech actually reads this message and can help...). I've tried to get assistance from Apple on this, but all signs point back to a T-Mo problem at this point, and Apple isn't really able to help out (their next recommendation was a phone reset -- and I'm not doing that, as there's nothing to suggest that would help). I'm a technical network engineer by trade...so no need to dumb things down for me. I'm eager to actually take this for a test drive and would really like to get to the bottom of the issue. Any advice? Any T-Mo expert that can help me to escalate to troubleshoot? ¡Gracias!
