If I take out my SIM card during iPhone restore will it keep all my data?
My iPhone got disabled to the point of the "connect to iTunes screen" and I was just wondering- if I take out my SIM card and do the full restore of the phone without the SIM sim in it, can I plug the card back in once the restoring is done and have all my data as before? Pictures, contacts, apps, messages, etc?
I don't think you understand how this works. The SIM card has nothing to do with your data. The card is only used for your phone to connect to your carrier. Your data is NOT stored on that card. If you didn't have a backup of your data, then everything will be lost when you restore it. That's why backups are critical!
Nope.
The SIM card is not a memory card. All of those things (except contacts in rare cases these days) are stored on the phone's storage.
- What Happens When You Take The Sim Card Out Of An Iphone 4s? If I Take The Sim Card Out Will I Still Be Able To Use My IPhone? What Features Will Work And What Features Won't? Will My Contacts/Notes/Texts Etc. Be Erased? Can I Still Get On The Internet If I Have Wi-Fi? Can I Still Use Maps On My IPhone?
- Should I take my sim card out before I sell my iphone? I just bought out my contract from my phone carrier and got the phone unlocked, and now I want to sell it. So should I take the sim card out when I sell it or leave it in?
- If I take my sim card out of my iPhone is it considered unlocked? If I take my sim card out of my iPhone is it considered unlocked because if it is I could get more money for my iPhone 4S if I say it's unlocked
- If I restore my iPhone from backup, will it erase all my music during the process? So like, does it reset everything else except the information backed up? I restored my iPhone and I put in new music and stuff, and I've been using it ever since until I recently remembered I had some important pictures in my backup I did before I restored it. I want to know if the restore from backup button will end up deleting all my music, videos, apps etc. Can anyone please answer me?
