Iphone 6 does not 'see' newly started carrier, all other versions do see the network. Not on iOS 8.12/8.3/8.4 and not even 9b2. (MG632LL/a, A1549)

Factory unlocked iPhone 6 MG532LL/A (A1549, Verizon CDMA) does not see network of very new carrier/provider in the dutch caribbean (Bonaire).

All other iphone versions have no issue in detecting and connecting to it; on 6 is simply not there after scanning.

Tried iOS 8.12/8.3/8.4 and even 9 beta 2 .. but it is just not there.

What has changed with the 6 !?

I heard something about a global providerlist that's updated by ios upgrades (seems weird route to me).

Does someone understands the issue, or has a tip to manually bypass this ?

Tis model appears to be the 'world phone' and it does work with any provider so far (tried 4 different)

Any help would be appreciated !

Chrz,

Olaf

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4, Currently ios 9b2, to no avail

Weirdest thing is that overnight, the carrier network became available.

Installed iOS 9b2 last night, and it did not see the network for a few hrs up until i went to bed; however, this morning it suddenly did see the network without any additional change.

is there anyone that can explain slightly how things work !?

Most likely the carrier released a settings file for the iPhone, and it was installed while you were asleep.
