What happens when i transfer my SIM card on an iPhone?
So, say I move my SIM card from my iPhone 5 into an iPhone 6.
-Will it transfer all my music, photos, etc?
-If I have a specific data plan (5gb per month, for example), will that data plan also transfer over?
-Does anything stay on the 5?
The SIM card represents your wireless account and phone number. Moving the SIM tells the new phone to adopt the phone number, account, voicemails, and data plan. You will still need to sign into your Apple ID to synchronize with iCloud. Before making the move, back up your old phone to iCloud or your computer's iTunes as a safety measure. Don't forget to sign out of the old phone and erase it before you give it away.
No…
The SIM card is not a memory card (this is having to be mentioned much more recently for some reason…)
The data plan (sort of) would go over since it is assigned to the SIM, more specifically the number the SIM has assigned to it. Though it would require some configuration on the newer iPhone.
So as far as anything staying on the SIM, pretty much everything would, since again, the SIM isn't a memory card.
- Will I be able to transfer my contract from a regular Sim card to a Micro Sim card? I want to buy an iPhone 4S on T-mobile, but my current T-mobile sim card is a regular one that would not fit in to the iPhone 4S. Would I be able to somehow move my contract on to the new Micro Sim?
- Changing from normal sim card to iPhone 4 sim card? I'm an AT&T customer with a smart phone. I'm wanting to buy an iPhone 4 but I know they take smaller sim cards than normal phones. If I buy an iPhone from an individual, can I take it to AT&T and have them give me a smaller sim card & transfer my information? Would I have to pay extra for it? Is it even possible?
- Can you use an old sim card in a new iPhone after transferring the info to a new sim card? I'm borrowing an iPhone from a friend, but it requires a sim card. He transferred all his information to a new sim card in a different phone. Can I use the old sim card on a different iPhone?
- Can you switch the iPhone 4 SIM card with an iPhone 4S SIM card? My mom has an iPhone 4S for sprint and I have an iPhone 4 for AT&T. Is it possible to switch SIM cards?
