New Carrier update 24.1

[Anonymous]

Hi All

I had a prompt to install new carrier settings at the weekend. My version is now O2 24.1. I have since noticed that it has removed the option to select 4G/3G/2G and replaced it with the old enable 4G toggle. I am really annoyed as I live in a marginal 3G area so often lock my phone to 2G when at home.

I hope this is reversed in a future update.

Thank you. I tried calling O2 customer service who blamed Apple. Will try and go down complaints route 😊

Good luck & let us know what happens @Anonymous

I can assure you 100% this is o2's decision and has nothing to do with Apple at all - you can prove it by putting a different network sim in and applying their carrier update to see all the choices returned.

I know it's not Apple at all which is why I was annoyed when I called up Customer Service for O2 and they continued blaming Apple and trying to put me through to someone lol. I am unsure why it's just happened to the 6S though. I'm going to try and complain if I can.

Let us know what they say.....

I only just received the carrier update just now on my iPhone 6. I can still see the toggle, however, it now seems to be buried slightly deeper than prior the update:

Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Date Options > Voice & Data > 4G/3G/2G Perhaps this is why the 6S users are now saying that they can't see the toggle?

I'm pretty certain than before the Carrier Update, the toggle was found somewhere within the roaming options.

What does the update entail anyway?

Good find so maybe people need to follow that route.

IOS 9.3.2 Carrier Update 24.1 Only

When you now choose Mobile Data > Mobile Data options > You now get the following optiions

Enable 4G (On / Off)  (You no longer see Voice and Data Toggle)

Data Roaming (On / Off)

Mobile Data Network (All the settings for Visual Voice Mail, MMS, Mobile Data.

OS Carrier Update 24.0 did have the 4G > 3G > 2G Toggle and still does (Confirmed)

OS Carrier Update 24.1 Has Enable 4G (On / Off) Setting Only for iphone 6s and 6S plus. All other Iphones that have Carrier Update 24.1 still has the Toggle from what Im seeing in other forums too

I can also Advise that if you have a Iphone 6s plus running IOS10.

Currently this Carrier Revision is 24.5.6

You still have the Voice and Data Toggle: 4G, 3G, 2G

So the option is there on IOS 10 Carrier 24.5.6.

Hope this helps

Does the Carrier update actually improve anything though? If not, what is the point of all these carrier updates anyway??
