How do you remove managed networks on your iPhone?

I assume that the individuals who did a so called “exception”, thus redirecting the IPhone I purchased from Apple to go first to their resellers location, program the device to their liking or service provider and to their own devices for their own use in order to gain access to your personal data, PHI, PII, in other words…they essentially own the device. No you work for them on a managed device?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 26

If you are talking about the Managed Networks provided by your cell provider, that in no way means your phone is being managed to gain access to any personal information on your device. I honestly don't know of any cellular provider that does not include at least one Managed Network, but there may be one out there that I am unfamiliar with. I also have not heard of any cell provider removing them. You can remove the SIM, and they will immediately go away.


I am flying to another state tomorrow and thanks to the Managed Network provided by T-Mobile, I get free WiFi on the airplane. There are many other uses as well to increase connectivity when cellular coverage is low or not available.
