Which makes me think, is it easy to know what operator you are connected to? I live on a border, and it's important to know whether I'm on a French antenna or a Belgian one.
I know it's an edge case and most people don't need that, but I'm curious and I can't really find screenshots of it. Actually on the screenshots I find you can't even know if you're connected on 4G or not, which matters as some operators here only allow unlimited data on 4G.
- brusch64 9y agoLiving in a border region nearly everyone here uses "manual carrier search" (I don't know the proper English term for this). Otherwise it can get pretty costly.
- seszett 9y agoBut isn't it tedious to have to manually change your carrier every time you cross the border? Especially when driving, I really wouldn't want to navigate these menus while on the highway.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoI guess you have to pick your battles. Either do it manually and not worry about a big bill or do it automatically and accept you might get a big bill. How much is the convenience worth?
- seszett 9y agoWell, for now I can easily do it automatically and check which network I'm on before using data-intensive apps, so I get the best of the two worlds. I'm just interested on whether it is easy to see as well on an iPhone X.
- brusch64 9y agoWell - if I am staying in "my country" I leave my manual selected carrier on. When I'm travelling into the other countries I change it to automatic carrier search. Works fine for me.
- makecheck 9y agoYes; it appears on the lock screen or as soon as you start to pull down notifications.
