Why do iPhone 14 models act differently in old Sprint areas?
I was just in Sarasota, FL where TMOis heavily using Sprint frequencies. I've noticed that even in line of site conditions, my iPhone 14 Pro Max connects via LTE on band 41 then switches to (usually) band 2. During this period, the iPhone has slow/no connectivity. Sometimes the phone never connects to 5G. In my home area - MetroWest MA, the device initially connect on band 66 and, lately, has been switching to band 71. It never stays in LTE mode - at least perceptively. No settings were changed between the two locations. Asking the clowns who call themselves "experts" in customer support will yield no useful info. I'm hoping an RF geek here might educate me a little on how TMO's network works.132Visto0likes2ComentariosRe: Dual eSIM on iPhone 14
For the record, I did get this to work. I now have two TMobile business lines. One that was on a physical SIM, the other on an eSIM on an iPhone 14 Pro Max with only eSim. It ain't easy - and I relied on the fact that business users can reassign SIMs using the business portal. Nobody at TMobile would do this, so tread lightly. To get it work, you basically need to be coming from physical SIMs. In my case, the first number was easy since it was already on a physical SIM. I simply reassigned it using the business portal. Then, I assigned the second line (originally on iPhone 13 eSIM) to a physical SIM. Make sure to use a new TMobile SIM card. You cannot, for some reason, then move that second line's physical SIM to the iPhone 14 eSIM. Instead, you have to call "tech support" and have them force the move. Once you receive the "eSIM ready" on the iPhone 14 from the network, you must use the QR code (found elsewhere on the support site) to install it. What can I say? TMobile used to have the worst network on the planet. Now, they arguably have the best. The trade-off has been "support". Nobody, anywhere has any skill or can answer a simple yes or no question with believability and accuracy. IOW, if you have to TMO lines and want to use a basic feature of every iPhone since at least iPhone 11 on your new iPhone 14, you are on your own with TMO basically telling you it cannot be done.39Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Dual eSIM on iPhone 14

This 100% works. Tforce on Twitter just did it forme. It even popped up on my phone to add it, no QRcode needed. FWIW I am on iOS 16.1 beta on iPhone 14 Pro. So, I went into a store since the online "techs" wouldn't read this doc to me. The doc does say one can use two eSIM mobile lines on iPhone 14. But there are no instructions on how to do it. The store rep wouldn't let me see them but she told me there were lots of questions from other employees about how to do this and that it doesn't appear to work. Classic TMobile to not be ready and to head-fake their own employees with incomplete information.19Visto0likes0ComentariosDual eSIM on iPhone 14
Does anyone know, definitively, if one can have two TMobile lines on an iPhone 14? Today, I have an iPhone with a physical SIM and and eSIM. Both are TMobile lines - what Apple calls "cellularplans". I had to return an iPhone 14 because a TMobilestore could not transfer both lines to that new iPhone. The support site is (as always) confused and out of date. "Experts" I contacted online are anything but. I'm surprised that TMobile hasn't has enough time to consider this use case and provided details to customers and staff on if,how and when this can be done - or if it's not possible.Solved20KViews2likes22Comentarios
