With the help of an old sim card in the iPhone?

I finally convinced my MOM to get an iPhone.

Here, is the fun part. It is 1200 miles away so I can't be there to help him with this. She lives in an abdelkader * town so not Apple store or engineering support. I do this anywhere in the phone. She bought a reconditioned 5 or 6 for storage AT & T probably will not be that useful.

It is on AT & T. I'm on Verizon. His current phone is so old that she cannot yet use AT & T cloud backup. It's something Huawei. It has a sim card. My phone does not have a sim card, so I'm flying blind on this one.

My questions are these. It is theoretically possible for her to use the old phone sim card in an iPhone? I need to identify the card for me, I know. It seems that if it's an AT & T card, it should work.

Is this what is causing problems for her? She wants to use the card so that it will not lose its photos and will not have to enter all its numbers again. Once the info is in the iPhone, I'll put it up with iCloud so that she should not rely on the map.

If she can not use the old sim card, what is the best way to get the data of the card and on the phone? It has a Dell laptop. I have not persuaded to get a Macbook yet. I read that I can get a converter any for the card to be used with a USB port. Would it not easier to import the data on his laptop computer, and then in iCloud? Then once she has the iPhone, hover over the address? I'm assuming the pictures import as jpg files. Does anyone know how to import the addresses? I Team Viewer if I can take her cell phone if I need to.

My other thought is to try to connect his phone to his laptop computer. I'm not sure she can find a cable with USB on one side and everything that will connect on the phone on the other. I'm not sure that it will work at all, but I think it's worth it.

Ideas, tips or tricks to help me help my mother would be greatly appreciated.

Where exactly she buys this iPhone "reconditioned"? Apple does not sell reconditioned iPhones and if it has been refurbished by a 3rd party, he will be untouchable as far as Apple is concerned.

That said, if it is AT & T, she can get an AT & T Nano from AT & T SIM. They charge him for it. Her old SIM does not fit into a new iPhone. Heck, he probably does not take in an old iPhone unless you want to track an iPhone to original iPhone 3G or 3GS, which are obsolete.

Get photos off the old phone is based entirely on what type of phone is and what kind of data transfer utility (and special cables) are available. If fact, she buys a new iPhone, someone at the AT & T store can help with this and contact transfer.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    The issue you mentioned could better answer the support of Apple iPhone. According to your description of the problem, you are able to connect and control Windows 7 computer using iPhone whose parameters are in the iPhone, so you don't have to get in touch with the support of Apple iPhone.

  • How can I sync lightning with the iphone calendar?

    How can I sync lightning with the iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added google calendar as they described, but I have no idea where from here

    To synchronize with the iPhone (also known as iCalendar) schedule you must use a calendar based on a cloud. If you already have the lightning, install the addon Google provider and Setup Google Calendar. If you have already done so, go to settings on your iPhone. In the e-mail box, Contacts and calendars, add your Google account and turn on the calendar. This will synchronize your Google Calendar with the iPhone.

  • Hello there is a problem with the iphone 6 and you do not want to connect to the Apple Store

    Hello there is a problem with the iphone 6 in more you won't connect to the Apple Store.

    Buenas tardes,

    Try a forced reboot. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it rises. You won't lose anything.

    Then sign out of the iTunes Store and reconnect.

  • My disappointing experiences with the iPhone 6

    After 11 months of owning an iPhone of 128GB 6 + the screen started to flicker, a gray bar would flash at the top of the screen and the touch screen has been insensitive.  This was due at random intervals.  I restarted the phone and the problem persisted.  I backed up my data and reset the phone like new.   The problem persisted.  I had my first appointment at the Genius Bar. He went a lot; I was leaving in 15 minutes with a new phone (my first replacement).

    I came home and restored my backup, and after a day, the problem came immediately.  Again, I have reset the phone again, and the problem persisted.  I did another (second) meeting with the Genius Bar (four days after the first).  My genius was excellent.  He had seen that problem before; He showed me that if he put a little pressure on the phone, the screen will become sensitive while he kept up the pressure. He took the phone and showed some of the other Geniuse the problem and how do I get the screen to become sensitive.  He assured so was completely related material and I was just out of luck and that it had nothing to do with my backup.  He asked me to contact Apple, since it is a problem he could see quite often with these phones.  In the end, I got another new phone (my second replacement).

    Once I got home I restored my backup once more.  And yet once again, the problem came back.  At this point, I was getting angry.  I have two young children (under 3) to home and make those appointments around their program is difficult.  Back to the apple store! This time, it was a little harder to get a solution. Engineering had to obtain the approval of the Manager and then he could not find the replacement phones and all the experience took a lot more time then my two previous trips.  In the end, I got another new phone (my third replacement).

    Yet once, I asked if this might be the result of my backup, and even once, I was told no.  I expressed that it becomes ridiculous and controlling common only I see is the backup. He suggested trying the phone for a few weeks without food and restaurant then. I never restored and just started over again.  The phone has been flawless until today, it lasted 38 days.

    The problem came out of the blue.  I have not installed anything new, nothing extraordinary happens today.  The screen started to Flash, returned the gray bar, and the screen becomes unresponsive.  The first Genius Bar appointment I can do is in 2 days.

    In short, in the space of 10 days, I've had four different iPhone + 6s fail in exactly the same way.  My family uses exclusively apple devices.  I had an iPhone 3s, 4S and now 6 +.  My wife had iPhone 3, 5 and 6.  We have all two Ipads and I an Apple Watch for Christmas.  We have had excellent experience with our devices.  I am more unhappy with the iPhone + 6s.  I have about a year left before I can go again, so I'm stuck with what is becoming a useless device.

    I have seen others with the same issues, but no solution is permanent.  This issue should be fixed.  I'm afraid that my next replacement will last 90 days and then I will be paying $329 for a replacement which is likely to fail again.
