How to switch from my iphone 5 to my old Iphone 2g?

My iphone 5 broke yesterday and my upgrade is in two weeks, I have an old Iphone 2g laying around so i'd like to use that until my upgrade. Is it possible to do that switch? Because of the memory card or whatever. Please and thank you.

Call your provider. If it is the same carrier as your broken phone it should not be an issue but you have to call your carrier to do it. Sprint I know for a fact allows you use an old phone when such an incident happens. I know some carriers like AT&T all you have to do is remove SIM card and install in whatever phone you want with doing anything extra but Verizon and Sprint not so easy. Hope this helps.

IPhones don't have memory cards.

Technically it is possible, but many of the apps you have may not work the with the 2G.

Backup using iTunes & then restore from that backup on the 2G.

  • Would I be able to switch carriers without having to switch phones? I'm with Consumer Cellular and I have an iPhone SE, but I'm thinking of switching carriers so that I can get unlimited data. I don't want to get a new phone because I've had my current one about six months, I really like it, and it works great. I'm not locked into a contract with Consumer Cellular. Would I be able to switch to another carrier without having to purchase a new phone?
  • Old iPhone with old sim card? Mum just got a new iPhone, so gave her old one to my sister. My sister did not have an appropriate sized sim card, so they guy at the store cut it down. Mum's new sim card is working, but when we put my sisters in the old phone, it just keeps saying no service. What do we do? Can we use it or not?
  • I want to switch my old Verizon phone to a Verizon iPhone. How would I do that? My old phone is one if the small slide phones that red and black and the screen broke. I want to switch it to an iPhone I got from a friend. How do I do this?
  • I have an iphone 4, I need to switch back to my old phone? I just got an iphone4. I have verizon. I also just switched jobs. I had an old env 3 phone that I loved. Because this new job is not going to pan out the way I expected, I need to cut back expenses. How can I switch back to my old env3 phone? I was just trying to do it on the computer and switch devices, but it wouldn't allow me. And if I call verizon. I don't have another phone to call from to see if it works. I guess I will just have to go up to a verizon store then.
