Bringing this back up since now there is scrolling effect on iPhone X. It’s really not necessary that the carrier name needs to be so long. Public without the mobile would be sufficient. No other carrier name is so long. Rogers wireless just puts rogers in their carrier name and omits the wireless, same for Telus, Koodo, chatr, Virgin etc..  This is also a pain on other iPhones since the name takes up a lot of the status bar. This can probably be easily fixed with a carrier update.

I spoke to mods, they are going to look into this again. There are many more example even chatr only says chatr while the company is called chatr wireless, same for virgin mobile. Honestly I can’t think of another example like Public mobile. PM is definitely an outlier

It is totally an issue with the iPhone, as are many other issues.

 

Do not blame the carrier.  At least Apple gives you the full name by the scrolling text.

Yes it’s also apples fault for how it’s done. It’s just an annoyance but really easy for public mobile to fix and become consistent with every other carrier

Lol, no problems with the long carrier name on android. This concern should not be registered as a labs suggestion here. Take it up with the phone manufacturer.




This is 100% a carrier issue as public mobile chose how the carrier name would look. It seems to me all other companies took the length into consideration. This isn’t as much of a deal on android because of how carrier name is displayed but it has a major effect on iPhones and I am sure there are a lot of iPhones on public mobile. This can be changed just for iPhones and left how it is for android since every company has a carrier file that is automatically downloaded from Apple. I’m sure PM could just update the file and make all iPhone users happier.
