Do you need an apple ID to set up an Iphone?

I'm getting my 15year old daughter an IPhone 5s for Christmas. She had an Iphone 4, but forgot her Apple ID and password and no longer can access the phone! We tried everything.Going into the Itunes, the Apple webpage, but nothing worked.Anyway, do you need the Apple ID and password, or can you bypass it>id rather not take a chance.

Does it cost extra to text internationally?

I'm a US citizen but will be spending the next 12 months in Scotland working on my Masters degree. I have a UK SIM card for my cell phone as well as a UK phone number, but several of my friends and family members have been asking about texting and I honestly don't know the answer. I know there are services like Viber or Skype, but in terms of basic texting (specifically on the iPhone, but other phones as well), what would the other person need to do?

TL, DR: Will someone from the US need to unlock their phone and/or pay extra in order to text me on a UK phone number?

How can I stop sleeping so late?

I like to sleep late like around 12 am sometime 2am. I play on my phone before I sleep. I know you're probably gonna say "get off your phone, your blue light from the phone screen is what keeps you awake". Well I have an Iphone and there's a feature where you can change the screen to a warmer orange color instead of blue, also I can't sleep without my phone, trust me I CAN't, I have to either hold my phone to sleep or have it beside me. If I try to go to sleep without my phone I will LITERALLY just keep my eyes closed and toss around the bed for HOURS.

This is obviously not good for my health I try to sleep early but I'll just end up playing on my phone because if I don't play on my phone before I sleep i won't get sleepy at all plus I need background of someone talking like a youtube video to help me sleep. I'm so attached to my phone when it comes to sleeping on my bed, how can I stop sleeping late without getting rid of my phone from the whole picture? Any tips? Or anything?

Why isn't my sister iPhone 5s coming on?

It's been turning off for a bit and coming back on. This morning she woke up and noticed the apple logo was showing. She has tried to restart it and it's still showing the apple logo, she put it into her laptop to try and restore it and it wouldn't work either. It has now been 9 hours and the apple logo is still showing.

How can i delete someone's old email account off my unlocked iphone 7?

I can't update any apps becasue that persons email comes up and it asks for a password, this is a unlocked iphone 7, that I purchased for a company a family member works for [they sell the phones when an upper management quits instead of reusing them] it recognizes all my apple accounts just fine, yet when i click to update the apps, which there are 6 now, a request to log in comes up with the prior users email address which is a business and no longer exists. Is there a way around it? The phone was set back to factory by the phone company that the company uses, they also don't know how to get rid of it. They say they have not had this issue before.
