New iPhone Sprint Unlimited Data Plan for $40

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus users have a big variety of data plans to choose from and it is better to learn about all the options the network offers before purchasing the new Apple smartphone model. For example, recently the list of Sprint unlimited data plan options got a new plan worth $40 a month.

The plan itself will cost from $20 a month however all subscribers who wish to get unlimited text and talk options as well will have to pay $40 a month instead.

Unlimited Sprint data plans for iPhone are the only real unlimited options in the country. AT&T / Verizon / T-Mobile is throttling unlimited iPhone users as well as T-Mobile. There will also be an additional charge for extra GB to use. Sprint will charge users $15 for every extra GB.

The plan is pretty interesting. You can get the 2GB of data and free texts in some foreign countries within the Sprint Global Roaming plan. The talks would cost 20 cents / minute which is also ok if you are traveling and need to stay in touch with your family and friends.

The teasers are all over the web and the Magenta mobile operator is about to bring something really interesting and worth learning about.

Fans of such channels will get unlimited options for watching their favorite movies and shows and they will not have to worry about running out of their LTE data.

The company should not count the data from steaming videos against user monthly data allowance. The only drawback of T-Mobile iPhone unlimited high speed video data is the limited list of services users will be able to use. This list should include Sling, Hulu and some other video services.

Similar plans are already offered for Music Freedom subscribers. iPhone users can enjoy unlimited music streaming from Apple Music, Google Play Music, Spotify, Pandora and similar services. LTE data cap is not being used.

Faster iPhone 6s Repair Program for iPhone Models 6S and 6

Users who’ll need to enroll in iPhone 6s repair program should know that some Apple Stores will provide loaners for iPhone 6 and 6s gadgets [the new iPhone 6s sold out in South Korea in just 5 minutes] that require off-site repair. This should make the whole procedure long-lasting. The introduction of the new option should shorten the wait times for customers who have some problems.

When you need to repair iPhone 6s Plus or iPhone 6s / 6 / 6 Plus you can first double check if your device is eligible for the off-site repair as this is much faster than going through Genius Bars in different countries across the world.

The Cupertino-based company wants to improve its customer service and satisfy more users. Just visit your physical Apple Retail store and ask if you are eligible for faster repair. This program only supports iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 6 and 6 Plus with 16GB capacity. If you own the 64GB or 128GB model you might be also lucky to be repair through faster way.

16GB iPhone owners can participate in the 2015 repair program if they are not able to connect to iTunes with their smartphone on Mac or PC, if their gadget doesn’t turn on, or if the iPhone doesn’t want to boot up and continues showing Apple logo.

It is believed that such a service will be available across U.S., in Europe and Japan.

Verizon WiFi Calling iPhone Feature Coming Out?

Most U.S. major networks are already offering iOS 9 WiFi calling feature for iPhone subscribers. However only AT&T got approve from the FCC to roll out this option. Still a lot of iPhone AT&T users had issues with WiFi calling support for a long while. Verizon WiFi iPhone calling needs FCC approve.

The commission likes to block WiFi calling because modern networks that offer this feature don’t offer TTY support and this is must-have these days. AT&T managed to get the waiver for launching the iOS 9 feature without teletypewriter technology. Other companies, Sprint and T-Mobile, deliver the option even without the permission and this drives rivals crazy.

Verizon didn’t dare to launch Verizon WiFi calling iPhone in U.S. after getting FCC approve.When this happens – we don’t know but subscribers who wanted to factory unlock Verizon iPhone 6s or other model in order to get WiFi calling support from other networks might want to wait a bit until the mobile carrier is granter the waiver just like AT&T has done.

Since American network AT&T started to talk publicly about other networks offering the popular iOS 9 addition without the permission granted by the FCC – the commission could soon respond and make other carriers stop offering the option unless they also introduce support for TTY.

If Verizon gets similar to AT&T approval it will be able to enable the WiFi option for all iPhone users who are running iOS 9 pretty soon. The TTY replacement the company wants to offer in the future is its RTT program however it is reportedly not ready to roll out yet.

While you are waiting for the official WiFi calling support you can use some inner Verizon applications to enjoy this option on iPhone. However the integrated option is yet to come.
