How to activate my replacement iPhone?

I had the iPhone 5 until the lock button stopped working, so I went to Best Buy and they gave me a replacement iPhone 5. I backed up the info from my first phone on iCloud, but it wasn't updated enough for my new phone, so I can't set my new phone up with the iCloud. Since I put the SIM card from my old phone in my new phone, will it work if I just set my new phone up as a "new iPhone" instead of setting it up with iCloud?

My lock buttons beginning to fail too! If all your stuff is backed up, set it up wirelessly as a new iPhone, then connect it to iTunes and you will be able to sync everything over.

  • Will a iphone 4 Verizon replacement screen kit fit a c spire iphone 4? I just cracked the front screen on my iphone 4 and instead of paying big bucks to cspire to replace it for me, i'm trying to buy a replacement kit off amazon. However, the replacement kits on amazon say that they "only fit Verizon/AT&T/Sprint iphone 4's" but aren't all iphone 4's made the same though? So i'm wondering if "Verizon/AT&T/Sprint iphone 4 replacement kits" will fit a cspire iphone 4.
