Changing sim from iPhone 5c to Sony?
Due to my screen shattering (too expensive to repair) I'm changing my phone to an old Sony Xperia. And I don't know anything about how to do it.
How do I make it so I keep all my texts & contacts & photos? Is this possible? What happens with my monthly contract?
Really appreciate all help, will award 10 points for best answer
There's a bit of a problem. The iPhone 5c uses a Nano SIM card, which is smaller than the Micro SIM that the Xperia uses. You can buy a SIM adapter, but this is risky as if something goes wrong, it can tear the contacts on the phone, rendering it unable to accept a SIM, or to play it safe, you can get a replacement SIM from your carrier.
As for your pictures and other things, did you make a backup? If you didn't and the 5c no longer works at all, you can't do anything about it. You can't really transfer your messages as they're stored on the phone, pictures as well. Most phones let you store your contacts on the SIM card, but I think that you have to specifically choose this option.
So, if you don't have a backup of any kind, you're not going to be able to get any of your old info on the new phone. Sorry. Hopefully you understand now how important it is to make frequent backups.
- Will my iphone 4 sim card work in a sony xperia phone? I just got the iphone 4 on contract (yes stupid I know) but i'm going to buy a sony xperia phone to make up for it, I can't lost my contract though so can I put my iphone 4 sim card (the one on the contract) into a sony xperia prepaid phone?
- Why won't my 3 sim work in my Sony Ericsson mobile? Right now I have an 02 pay as you go sim in my unlocked Sony Ericsson phone it works fine. I've put in my 3 contract sim in and it comes up on the screen "invalid sim". I'm using a very old phone as mine was stolen. From looking at the sims, 02s has a large chip and 3s is quite small so maybe the phone can't read it? If that's the reason can I request a larger chip from 3? This is second sim I've requested from them after they stupidly sent me an iPhone one.
- Which Camera to Buy: Sony WX350 or Sony WX220? I'm looking to purchase a camera for my upcoming vacation. I currently use my iPhone 6 to take all my photos and want something a little better. I have done some research and it seems like Sony makes pretty good cameras. The most important factors to me are image quality and price. I'm looking to spend $220 max. Please let me know which of the two you would recommend, unless you there's something else better.
- When changing sim cards, is all my info safe on my iphone? My old phone network is closing down so I'm changing to a new one. My new sim card will be activated in less than 3 hours. I've synced my iphone to itunes. Do I need to worry about losing all my contacts and notes and everything, or is it all stored safely on the phone?
