Re: [apple-iphone] Switching iPhones help

They don't have a sim card, at least not that I know of, Archie.

Jim, do I use that same method if there are no sim cards?

Thanks

I thought the Verizon iPhone doesn't have a SIM.

> I have been a bit of a lurker but I now need your assitance with adding an iPhone to my verizon plan. I will be buying the 4s by Friday (along with an iPad) and am wanting to trickle my 4 iPhone to the other person on my line. Basically I am adding them, using their line to buy the 4s than wanting to move the 4s to my line and swap the 4 to them.

I've done this (at least) 3 times.

Both the 4 and the 4S take micro-SIM card. They are interchangeable.

Back up your 4.
Get the 4S on the family plan.
Switch the SIM cards.
Restore the new 4S from the backup from the 4.
Restore the 4 "as new".
Done.
