How to switch my number over from an Iphone 4 to and Iphone 5?

My dad has just upgraded to the new iPhone, and he's given me his old iphone 5. I have an iphone 4 at the moment.

Basically his work have got me a new sim card as I think it is a micro sim in the iphone 5 and mine wouldn't fit.

I put it in the iphone 5 today, but all of my dads old information was still stored on the phone and when I plugged it into itunes it was still called "my dad's name" iPhone. I restored it back to factory settings which basically wiped the iPhone, but I've got some of my contacts in as I've synced it with my icloud and apple ID.

The problem I have is that obviously my iphone 4 is still working and active and still has my number. The iphone 5 is saying that the number is "unknown". The people at my dads work said that it would switch over… But I knew it wouldn't be that simple. (it never is with apple), as I knew that 2 phones couldn't have the same number at the same time.

How do I get this new iphone 5 to have the same number as my iphone 4, and basically switch the number over? Is it possible to do this?

You call your provider

You can call your provider to sen you a new nano sim with the same number, or you can buy an microsim cutter => http://www.amazon.com/...B009ERXEDK

  • Why is my iPhone copying the same video over and over? So I took a screen recording earlier today and when I went to send it, there were about 50 of the same video. I thought alright i'll just delete them. So I did. And they returned. I now have over 300 of the same video and it keeps copying itself.
  • Why does Netflix keep pausing and playing over and over? I'm using it on my iphone 4. And I have checked my connections over and over I've uninstalled reinstalled, signed in signed back and everything else that the troubleshoot website has recommend. And it's gotten annoying. It didn't start doing this as much until I updated the app before the ios 7 release. I'm currently using the trial for netflix and my laptop doesn't work so I can get it on anything but my phone.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps vibrating over and over for no reason? It does it like every 10 minutes for about 30 seconds. It's almost like getting a notification every second. I'm not getting any notifications though, it's just vibrating for no reason whatsoever… What's wrong with it?
