What if you break your iPhone sim card?
I have an iphone 4 and recently bought a 5. I wanted to switch my iphone 4 sim to my iphone 5 (to get all my data). However it didn't fit. So I tried cutting it (I read online you could do that) Well It snapped and doesn't work. So now I'm out a sim card. What do I do? Did I loose all my data (I backed it up to iTunes earlier in the day). Should I go to att and get a new one. If I do will I get my data back? Also I did not buy the phone from att I got it on craigslist if that matters.
You will need to get a new Micro Sim Card.
You will not lose anything. Just make sure to do a complete backup of your iPhone4 and then do a complete restore with your iPhone5. You sim card is useless with iPhone luckily. Lol Nothing on it really.
The 4 uses microSIMs whereas the 5 uses nanoSIMs (smaller than microSIMs). Oh there wouldn't have been data in there anyway aside from contacts (if you had them stored there), & maybe 1 or 2 texts.
All the data you are worried about is on the iPhone itself.
Just go to your carrier & ask for a new SIM with your number on it. That's all.
- 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?
- Can you put a cut sim card into the old sim card slots? I have an iphone 5 and my sim card is cut down to fit into it. I want to be able to use my sim in my old nokia brick phone as well though because i'm attending a heavy metal festival next week and don't want my expensive iphone to get wrecked in the mosh. Just wondering if its at all possible.
