My Aunt gave me her old iPhone and
Alright so basically my aunt upgraded her phone to the new Galaxy and she gave me her old iPhone, which is pretty chill. I've been using it to play some games and text a couple friends when there's Wi-Fi available. I'm pretty much using it as an iPod and I don't plan to use it as an actual phone.
However, we share the same number which causes me to receive the texts that go to her Galaxy but not vice versa.
SO basically, is there anyway I won't receive her texts and can I make her old iPhone MINE.
Thanks for reading and post any useful information.
Get a new sim card. Each sim card gives you a different number.
Erase it back to factory, and then set it up with your own ID (signup for free apple ID so that will be your ID going forward and the phone will be wiped.)
You have to call up her service provider (or have her call) and tell them the phone number needs to be switched
- Today my dad upgraded to an iphone 10, and because he has the forever iphone plan he was able to keep his old phone and he gave it to me? I synced all of my apps and contacts from my old phone, a samsung, to the new one, when I texted one of my friends, I found out I was sending messages through my icloud address and I had no service. Is this something I'll have to call my carrier about to switch my number, or can it be done manually and from the phone's settings. If the it's the latter, what steps would I have to take?

Or if i can get it fixed any way with having pay loads of money? :) thank guys

- My aunt took a screenshot of the about me on my Iphone. Why? My aunt took a screenshot of my Iphone's "About" section and texted it to herself. It has my Carrier, Model, Serial Number, Wi-Fi Address, bluetooth, IMEI, MEID, and Modem firmware on it. Why would she want that? What could she do with it?
