How to reactivate an old iPhone3 to recover the data on it?

I have an old iPhone that I deactivated when I upgraded. Can I just call my plan provider and reactivate the phone long enough to pull the data from it with an iStick or do I need to take it to a store?

With your cell phone provider and you can put old stuff on it with memory card or iCloud and even a computer if it was used to save everything

No need to reactivate iPhone to recover data, you can google search "any data recovery" to get how to restore data on iPhone.

  • Recommend any software to recover data from an iPhone 5 which is over a year old? I have a mobile phone which hasn't been used in over a year as it was reset when a new phone was purchased and just left in the drawer as a spare. I desperately need to recover data from it as there was a phone number stored on it which I need to inform somebody of a death. Any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anything that can recover things from over a year ago.
  • My iPhone got stolen. How do I know if the thief managed to reactivate the unit? I still check through "Find My iPhone" app if the thief has managed to hack my iCloud account and reactivated the phone. But I'm not sure how accurate it is. It still says, "Erase Pending: Your iPhone will be erased when it connects to the Internet." The phone still remains in 'offline' mode and it still hasn't been removed from my account. Another question: "Did it help that I right away changed all of my passwords in all of my accounts?"

  • How to reactivate Siri on iPhone 5? Hi! I have an iPhone 5, and I deactivated Siri a while ago. This because she annoyed me, but now there's this even more annoying VoiceControl which activates instead. My problem is that now I can't reactivate Siri. I know how to do it, but every time i turn on that little switch, it goes back to being deactivated when I quit Settings. I realize now that I miss Siri, I guess I've learned to appreciate what I have. Haha. But seriously, please help.
