Attention T-Mobile customers.
T-Mobile users complain about iOS 10 carrier settings causing service blackouts

A carrier settings update, associated with iOS 10, is causing some T-Mobile
customers to lose their cellular connection in places where they should
otherwise have a signal, according to complaints on Apple's support forums.
People encountering the issue are finding themselves completely offline until
they reboot their phones or choose Reset Network Settings from the iOS Settings
app. AppleInsider can confirm the existence of the glitch, which on Wednesday
kept an editor's iPhone 6 offline in an area which normally has good reception.
Rebooting the phone solved the situation.
Anecdotes suggest that the problem is related to how iPhones connect to
T-Mobile's LTE network. It appears to be triggered by temporarily leaving LTE
coverage, which can be troublesome if a person regularly passes through areas
with poor or non-existent service, like elevators and parking garages.
The carrier update is suspected because the problem didn't manifest until this
week, and is only affecting connections to one cellular network. Appropriately,
people on T-Mobile's prepaid MetroPCS brand may also be impacted.
So far there's no indication of when the issue might be resolved, but T-Mobile
will presumably push out another carrier update in the near future.
