How to update your carrier settings to resolve the iOS 16.7.13 connectivity issue
Earlier this week, Apple released a software update (iOS 16.7.13) which prevented some older devices from connecting to the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network.
Apple has released a carrier settings update to fix this issue.
How to check your iOS version
To check the iOS version your device is running on, follow these steps:
- Tap Settings > General > About
- Check the version number next to "iOS Version"
- If your iOS version does not show as 16.7.13, you do not need to do anything
- If your iOS version shows as 16.7.13, follow the update instructions below
How to install the update
If your device is running on iOS 16.7.13, install the update by following these instructions:
• Connect your impacted iPhone to Wi-Fi
• Tap Settings > General > About
• Accept the carrier settings update by tapping “OK”
• Confirm the update is installed by going to Settings > General > About and make sure it says “Telstra 54.1” next to Service Provider
• If the Service Provider version does not show “Telstra 54.1” check you’re connected to Wi-Fi and repeat the steps above
After installing the update, we recommend you power your device off, turn it back on and then make a test phone call to confirm everything is working.
